The Makita MAC700 air compressor is an excellent all around portable air compressor. However it’s not flawless. There are some small details which could be better.
In this review I’ll talk about:
- General Design and Build Quality
- Features I Like
- A Couple Small Details I Think Could Be Improved
- Air Tools Which Work Well With the Makita MAC700 Air Compressor.
- Air tools which are impractical or unusable with the Makita MAC700 air compressor.
- Two Air Compressor Accessories Everyone Should Have
- Conclusion and Overall Opinion.
At the incredibly reasonable price point of the Makita MAC700 air compressor, some niggling details are not unexpected. Whether or not those minor details are worth paying extra for, is a decision we all have to make for ourselves.
Ultimately, If the Makita MAC700 air compressor I’ve owned for over 10 years ever broke, I’d buy another one without thinking. But the odds of the Makita MAC700 ever breaking of wearing out are nil and I’m sure I’ll be using mine for many more years.
