I have this compressor. It's heavy, loud, and the gauges don't work. But I have framed a house, built a few decks, a couple of wood sheds, and done a bunch of trim work with it. It still runs strong. If I had to do it all over again, I'd probably opt for the Rigid.

I use nailers (brad/finish) with mine a lot for hobby woodworking, putting up trim and repairing the fence. Pneumatic nailers are both lighter and cheaper than battery powered ones.
I doubt that you, or any other typical homeowner, would be able to tell which is which if they were all painted black.

A. Pick them up and know that the Bostitch would be lighter
B. Turn them on, and observe that the Bostitch is quieter
C. Use them, and observe that the DeWalt is more efficient.
Telling people to pick tools based on color is ridiculous.

B. The Bostitch is claimed to be a few DBs quieter, but they have asterisks after the rating without explanation of how that number was measured. Don't fool yourself, they are both fricking loud.
C. The Dewalt has 10% higher psi, which means 10% more reserve, but at the same cfm that won't have much affect on the typical user (especially at twice the price).
As I said, they are more-or-less the same. You're just picking nits.

B. Bostitch is rated at 78.5 dBA. The PC is 82 dBA. Apparently your understanding of this is limited to "they are both fricking loud." However, on a dBA scale, every 3 units represents a doubling. So they are "both fricking loud", but the PC is more than twice as loud at 3.5 dBA higher.
C. Glad you agree that the DeWalt is more efficient. Now we can strike that point off the list.

B. Without knowing the conditions under which the Db are measured, you can't directly compare them - the Bostitch page has two asterisks after the DB number without explanation, but I know from experience that it is damn loud.
C. The DeWalt is not more efficient. It has 10% higher psi which leads to 10% more reserve capacity, but the same 2.6scfm of the others. That means that if you can shoot 10 nails with the PC before the compressor kicks back on, you could shoot 11 with the DeWalt - but the DeWalt will take 10% more time to fill back up. All you gain with the DeWalt is a little more reserve.
Thank you for highlighting the minor differences between the 4 brands which is why I said that they were more-or-less the same, not the exact same. Now, would you like to nit-pick some more about what "more-or-less" means???

B. If you say they're the same, then why would the conditions they're measured be different? One is more than twice as loud as the other. This is why dBA is mentioned in the specs of pretty much all air compressors, and one of the major selling points for a lot of these is "quiet" tech.
C.If I can shoot 10 nails with one tank and 11 with another, then which is more efficient? Let's try an example in comparison. If I take a car that will go 100 miles on a tank of gas, and one that will go 110 miles, which one is more efficient if they require the same fuel input? Of course your nail example is silly anyway, but your argument is silly. If I can get more usage out of something on a single charge, then it would be safe to assume that item is more efficient.
You're welcome. Good discussion, but please try to contradict yourself less. TY and have a good day.

B. The fact that there's unexplained asterisks leads to the likely possibility that the measurements were taken differently.
C. A 10% larger fuel tank does not make a car more efficient.
As I've maintained all along, there are some differences between the four brands. I think they're pretty minor differences, you think they're pretty major.

Note that the DeWalt does have a different pressure switch and a few other difference vs the other two. The pump motor assemblies appear to be the same across the line. The check valve appears different on the DeWalt. It's also worth noting that at least Bostitch has more than 1 6 gallon pancake compressor.
Edit: looking a bit more, the DeWalt's check valve is labeled "Check valve w/muffler". That could explain a small noise level difference.

B. Proof that the asterisks would indicate such a thing? There's probably a footer with the product specs that explain them.
C.Bob and Sally are both driving their cars to their uncle's ice cream shop that is precisely 1100 miles away. They will be both driving down the highway nonstop with the cruise control set to 60 mph. Bob's car will do 110 miles on a tank of case, and Sally's will go 100. They will each spend approximately 10 minutes exiting the highway for gas each time they need to fill up. Who will arrive to their uncle's ice cream shop first? Why did you pick your answer?
