About this product
The Forney Industries Fornair 555 is a portable air compressor powered by gas, offering a 2 HP motor and a 4-gallon tank. It boasts a higher airflow of 4.5 CFM at 120 PSI, making it suitable for more demanding air tools compared to its electric counterparts. Weighing 72 pounds, its robust design is intended for job site flexibility where electricity may not be readily available. This model is built for portability and includes features that enhance its mobility.
Our take
If you need an air compressor that isn't tethered to an electrical outlet, this gas-powered Forney Fornair 555 is a compelling option. The 2 HP engine and 4.5 CFM at 120 PSI offer a significant boost in performance, allowing for a wider range of pneumatic tools and faster recovery. It's definitely designed for job sites or areas without easy power access. However, at 72 pounds, it's notably heavier than smaller electric portables, so while it's 'portable,' it's not something you'd casually carry around. Being gas-powered also means more noise and maintenance compared to electric models.
