Maximum pressure, measured in PSI (pounds per square inch), determines the types of tools a compressor can power and how effectively it can do so. Higher PSI ratings allow a compressor to handle a wider array of pneumatic tools and jobs. Most household and light industrial tasks are well-served by compressors offering 125–135 PSI, as seen in the Makita AC001 (125 PSI), Makita MAC100Q (135 PSI), and Makita MAC210Q (135 PSI). The benefit of this range is that users can choose a model that fits both their current and potential future needs, ensuring flexibility and value.
