About California Air Tools US
Learn about the California Air Tools product philosophy, brand milestones, applications, and the equipment support available from California Air Tools US.
California Air Tools US helps professionals compare and purchase quiet, oil-free compressed-air equipment for workshops, job sites, laboratories, production rooms, and other demanding environments.
Our focus: make it easier to match air delivery, pressure, storage, voltage, duty cycle, moisture control, and noise level to the work you actually need to perform.
A brand built around quieter work
California Air Tools was established in San Diego in 2002 by air-tool industry professionals. The company developed its product line around innovative compressed-air equipment, with a strong emphasis on ultra-quiet and oil-free operation. That approach helps reduce maintenance associated with lubricated pumps and makes compressed air more practical in shared, indoor, and noise-sensitive spaces.
The range now extends beyond portable compressors to industrial systems, integrated dry-air equipment, soundproof cabinets, smart controls, auxiliary tanks, pressure pots, pumps, hoses, filters, and service accessories.

Integrated 80% and 98% moisture-removal configurations for processes where water and fine contaminants can affect results.
Smart systems
Connected controls for supported models, including pressure adjustment, scheduling, and operating oversight.
How we help you choose
A compressor should be selected from the application backward. The most useful starting points are the tool's operating CFM and PSI, the number of tools running at once, daily operating time, available voltage and phase, desired tank reserve, acceptable sound level, and required air quality.
- Compare delivered CFM at the pressure your equipment requires—not horsepower alone.
- Plan for peak simultaneous demand and an appropriate recovery margin.
- Confirm 110/120V or 208/230V requirements, including single- or three-phase power.
- Identify whether standard air, approximately 80% dry air, or 98% dry air is needed.
- Review the owner manual and installation requirements before commissioning equipment.
