The Husky Trim-Plus air compressor is ideal for powering finish nail guns, high-pressure tire inflation, and a variety of small body air tools.
Equipped with a high-powered 1.5 HP motor and a 155 PSI oil-free pump that provides 2.5 standard cubic feet of air per minute (SCFM) at 90 PSI, the Trim-Plus is one of the most capable oil-free compressors in its class.
The compact design and relatively low weight make this Husky H1503TP air compressor easy to load into the back of a truck and carry wherever it’s needed. The large output gauges make it incredibly easy to precisely adjust the pressure going to your tool.
They also included a second gauge on the rear panel of the device to indicate the pressure inside the tank. The ball-style drain valve on the tank is a really nice touch—much more comfortable to use than your typical twist-screw valve.

What It’s Best For
This unit is absolutely perfect for finish carpentry, brad nailing, stapling, and blowing off dust. Because of the high 155 PSI limit, you can drive a lot of nails before the motor even needs to kick on. However, keep in mind that with a 3-gallon tank and 2.5 SCFM, this compressor is not designed for continuous heavy-duty tasks like sandblasting, DA sanding, or painting a car.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Very portable, high max PSI for longer tool runtimes, and a no-maintenance oil-free pump.
Cons: The small tank drains quickly under heavy load, and oil-free motors can be a bit louder than their oiled counterparts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run an impact wrench on this?
Technically yes for quick bursts, but 2.5 SCFM is generally too low for heavy mechanical tools. You’ll spend a lot of time waiting for the tank to refill.
Is this compressor loud?
Like most oil-free compressors, it has a bit of a bark to it. It’s fine for garage use, but you’ll definitely know when it’s running.
