The Atlas Air Force AF2 is a portable 1.8 HP belt-driven, single-stage air compressor designed for home garages, mobile mechanics, and small shops that need compressed air without a permanent installation. Its motor runs on standard 110V single-phase power and drives a two-cylinder pump connected to a 20-gallon ASME-rated vertical tank. The compressor delivers 7.8 CFM at 40 PSI and 6.0 CFM at 90 PSI, with a 90–125 PSI operating range. Its 25" × 18" × 45" footprint and oversized wheels make it easy to position along a wall or move between work areas.

The AF2 uses a belt-driven pump rather than direct drive, providing a quieter operating setup for shop use. The pump and motor pulleys are enclosed by a heavy-duty metal belt guard, while the vertical tank keeps the floor footprint compact. A 1/4" M-style quick coupler is installed at the air outlet, allowing compatible air tools to connect directly without an additional adapter. The 110V electrical setup also eliminates the need for a dedicated higher-voltage circuit or electrical service upgrade.

The AF2 is suited to home garages, mobile mechanics, and small shops using inflators, brad and finish nailers, air staplers, blow guns, smaller impact wrenches, and HVLP touch-up sprayers. Its portable design makes it useful when compressed air is needed in different areas of a shop rather than at a fixed wall connection, while the 20-gallon tank provides stored air for intermittent pneumatic work.

FAQ

What air tools can the AF2 power?

The AF2 delivers 6.0 CFM at 90 PSI and 7.8 CFM at 40 PSI, making it suitable for inflators, brad and finish nailers, air staplers, blow guns, smaller impact wrenches and HVLP touch-up sprayers. Tools with higher continuous CFM demands, such as sanders and die grinders, may exceed the compressor’s airflow capacity. Check your tool’s CFM requirement before use.

Does the AF2 require 220V power?

No. The AF2 runs on 110V single-phase power and can plug into a standard household outlet. Use a properly rated circuit, preferably without other high-draw equipment sharing the circuit.

Is the tank ASME rated?

Yes. The AF2 uses a 20-gallon vertical tank with an ASME rating.

What’s included?

The AF2 ships assembled with the two-cylinder belt-driven pump, 1.8 HP running / 2.0 HP peak motor, 20-gallon ASME-rated vertical tank, oversized wheels, heavy-duty metal belt guard and 1/4" M-style quick coupler installed at the air outlet.
