Campbell Hausfeld FP2080 4 Gallon Portable Air Compressor

Campbell Hausfeld FP2080 4 Gallon Portable Air Compressor
  • Lightweight and easy to carry
  • Easy to use control panel with large easy to read gauges
  • Maintenance free oil less pump
  • Built in accessory storage for clutter free work area
  • includes 25 ft recoil hose

puchased this compressor after my cheap portable one finally went out. came in very good packaging and everything work exactly as advertised. only downside is for some of the items you plug into it deplete the compressor rather quick and understandably the tank is small. the only reason it gets 4 stars is for the amount of time it runs to build up pressure... other than that a great thing to have in an average garage.

Sandblaster Gun with 3 Extra Nozzles : Sand Blasting Tool

Sandblaster Gun with 3 Extra Nozzles : Sand Blasting Tool
  • Wholesale tools
  • Includes Three Extra Nozzles
  • A perfect accessory for your sandblaster!

Haven't really been able to use as hoped. Have tried on several occasions but before I really get started the nozzle clogs. Using coal slag as the media which is pretty darn fine...but the second you stop the flow of material with stop it backs up and plugs. Air flow settings are key and just haven't found the settings to make it work yet.

Buy Sandblaster Gun with 3 Extra Nozzles : Sand Blasting Tool Now

This is an add-on "dead-man" shut-off valve and nozzle assembly for use with pressure-pot sandblasters like the cheaper ones from Harbor Freight. If you don't already have one of those, this won't be very useful except possibly as a novel paperweight or something to throw into the corner to relieve frustration.

I bought mine at a local tool store; it is the same Pit Bull branded package.

Contrary to what the package says, it comes with 4 extra ceramic nozzles, but no wrench.

The nozzles are 5 different sizes, ranging from about 0.087" diameter to about 0.123". (Take those measurements with a grain of salt... it's not easy to measure them, and the nozzles are tapered inside. They're definitely not all the same size.)

Installation: it screws directly onto the original shutoff valve body after removing the old tip assembly and wrapping some Teflon tape around the threads.

How well does it work? Um, I don't know yet. There's a problem with the motor on my two-cylinder compressor, and when I took the motor apart, more things broke and I discovered that replacement parts are hard to come by. I'll see if I can do some spot blasting with the little compressor, using the smallest diameter tip.

I used the tool for applying knockdown texture to new and exisiting walls. The tool is well made and easy to use. For a first timer at texture I was pleasantly suprised. The instructions could be a little more explicit. I viewed a video on UTube that helped a lot and filled the gaps in the instructions. I would recommend this tool.

Neiko Heavy Duty Air Needle Scaler with Flux Chisel - 4500 BPM

Neiko Heavy Duty Air Needle Scaler with Flux Chisel - 4500 BPM
  • The ideal tool for scaling and rust removal
  • 4500 blows-per-minute increases work speed
  • Comes with 19 high-tension steel needle & flux chisel
  • One-year warranty

I bought this tool because of price. It is priced on the low end of the spectrum and this is a tool that I will not use every day. I have used the tool several times and have found no shortcomings or defects. It works as it is supposed to. I'm happy with what I spent and what I got for the money.

Buy Neiko Heavy Duty Air Needle Scaler with Flux Chisel - 4500 BPM Now

This works very good to remover paint, but there is a very big problem with its design. The needles have a nail head that keeps the needles from falling out of the holder. After 2 to 3 hours all the needles start to fall out, because the heads wear off the needles that hold them into the tool.I ordered 5 extra sets of needles and the same thing happened to all 5 sets. So I had to braze a ball of metal on the heads of all the needles to replace the heads that wore off. Then after 2 to 3 hours the brazed heads wore off also and the needles fell out again. Then the return spring broke. If you don't mind having to braze the heads back onto the needles as they fall out this tool works very good, but I talked to other people that had needle scalers and they all said they never had problems with the needles falling out, only that the needles would wear down after so much time. By grinding the needles to a point, they remove the paint allot faster, but the points wear off after about 30 minutes. I would not recommend this tool. Find one that the needles do not fall out of after 2 or 3 hours.

Stanley G13301 Pattern Pistol Gun and Hopper

Stanley G13301 Pattern Pistol Gun and Hopper
  • 3/2-Inch and 1/8-Inch nozzles
  • Smooth, even coverage
  • Convenient trigger lock
  • 9 pattern orifice wheel
  • Hopper included

I purchased this gun for putting 'knockdown' on my kitchen ceilng and walls. I have had absolutely no experience in doing this before. It was a 'growth' experience. There is a plethora of information on the internet, videos et.al., but none gave a start to finish discussion of how to do this. In the long run, you have to experiment on some scrap material or a section of the wall that will be covered up (by cabinets etc.). I bought the 'knockdown' material from Home Depot and simply followed the mixing directions on the package.

I did the walls first. Great! the gun performed perfectly. It took a number of tries before I got the balance between the opening to be used (I used the 3rd largest hole ..next time I'll use the next smaller hole.), the amount of trigger pull needed ('winged it' mostly wide open) , and the pressure from my compressor (=< 40# ... less may be better). And that's the beauty of this machine.. it's so easy to change settings. I love the all metal construction of the gun and the hopper is made of very good plastic type material. Although there is a variable 'stop' that can be used to limit the amount of trigger pull, I was not able to find the right location...and so as I said I simply pulled it all the way back and relied upon the orifice opening

And now we come to the ceiling (and the reason for the 4 rating instead of the 5). This unit comes with a plastic elbow attachment which is supposed to allow you to tip the gun upwards whilst keeping the hopper vertical, to avoid spillage. Thinking back, I seem to remember an innocuous comment on one of the internet sites (not in the manual!) about tightening the lower part of the elbow attachment with a hose clamp. I really remembered that when the hopper popped of the gun and the material started running down my arm and onto the floor. The stuff was starting to set up so had to finish by trying to hold the hopper in place by putting pressure on it. Made for a sloppy and uneven ceiling job, which turned out to be passable. I did buy a hose clamp and it makes the whole ensemble rock solid ..... but com'on guys... for crying out loud, just put the hose clamp in with the gun... REALLY!

Bottom line: This is a great gun, better than those I saw in the home improvement stores (IMHO) and I would recommend it to anyone who needs to do knockdown on a large area. Just remember the hose clamp or the gun will remind you!

We first bought a cheap pattern sprayer and it broken after a couple weeks. We bought this one and it works great. Easy to take the gun apart and clean it after use. Multiple holes for changing the sprayer pattern. Easy to hold the bucket when doing the ceiling. The only problem you need an extra hole clamp for the 45 degree elbow or else it will fall off.

I had 2 Goldblatts for over 30 years until they finally wore out. I automatically ordered another Goldblatt.. Big mistake! I had modified the first 2 guns with a PVC 45 bend so the guns worked better for ceilings. This new gun has a "rubber seal" where the gun meets the hopper. The hopper is impossible to keep on the gun, even with the clamp provided. They have changed the size of the hopper and gun just enough so a PVC 45 ell no longer fits. The gun is OK for walls, but not worth a darn for ceilings because of the improper angle you have to hold the gun at to get the mud to flow to the gun. In 6 texture jobs, the hopper came off the gun 6 times. Such a nice mess when it does! I cut my finger trying to clean the inside of the gun due to sharp casting edges left in the gun. This appears to be a cheap Chinese mess.

Legacy HFZ14100YW2 Flexzilla 1/4 X 100 Zilla Green Air Hose with 1/4 MNPT end

Legacy HFZ14100YW2 Flexzilla 1/4 X 100 Zilla Green Air Hose with 1/4 MNPT end
  • If it?s not ZillaGreen, it?s not Flexzilla
  • Extreme all-weather flexibility, even in sub-zero temperatures! (-40° to 150° F)
  • Kink resistant under pressure
  • Superior bend radius
  • Lays flat, no memory

i bought this hose after seeing it at my local hardware store. i saw that amazon had it for a couple bucks cheaper so i ordered it along with a few repair couplings listed under "AI Coupling 4PUR-4RMP 1/4" Hose End for 2170 Hose". i took the 100' hose and made a 50' and 225' hoses and am more than pleased with the performance of this hose. working with hoses can be a PITA when they're all tangled and you find yourself tripping over them on a regular basis. i found this hose to be very lightweight, flexible and overall much less of a nuisance than comparable hose. haven't had a chance to try it out in the cold weather yet, but from what i have seen, i am very pleased with my purchase.

This is my 2nd flexzilla hose (replacing a worn out rubber hose). I love both of my flexzilla hoses. I use them daily in temperature extremes from deep snow to blazing roofs. I have never had a kink, they are much easier to handle, and I have had no problems with abrasion or blow-out.

this is a nice hose, but if you think it wont kink after you put air pressure to it you are wrong. Nice and limp when there is no air in it but it gets stiff when you apply pressure to it. I hope it holds up because it sure swells up when you pressuresize it.

I was really happy with this hose when I first got it... Very light weight, doesn't tangle, and no memory... I've even liked the bright lime green color... Very easy to see so you don't trip over it... But after only its second use, the hose blew out (Something I've never seen before)... I had my compressor set at about 110 psi and was using a framing gun when I started hearing a hissing coming from somewhere on the hose... I traced it back and saw the hose had somehow blew out underneath its skin... I thought at first I may have punctured it with a nail or something... But that wasn't the case... It seemed as if the hose couldn't handle the 110 pressure and finally sprung a leak!! Don't know if I just got a bad apple (which if that's the case, I totally understand and will change my review)or if that's the quality of this product... Like I said, I really do like this hose and will see if the company will give me a replacement to try again and hopefully discover I really did just had a bad apple...

Winterize Sprinkler System Blow Out Adapter: Air Compressor to National Pipe Threads (NPT) Set with

Winterize Sprinkler System Blow Out Adapter: Air Compressor to National Pipe Threads Set with Shut Off Valve - Contains all common sizes!
  • Adaptor to winterize sprinkler systems. Includes printed instructions.
  • Includes most common pipe thread combinations! Avoid multiple trips to the hardware stores.
  • Pressure rating: 250 psi with 4:1 safety factor.
  • 100% outdoor rated.Impervious to water and oil.
  • All metal parts are brass. Flexible hose is 3/8" Goodyear Insta-Grip.

I was motivated to buy this adapter after noticing that the last two years, the sprinkler guy that charges me $60 to blow out my sprinklers always seemed to find a broken sprinkler head when blowing out the system even though I never noticed any of them broken all year.

He would unscrew them and take them with him pretty much trying to force me to call him in the spring to turn the system back on (which I never do as it's just a matter of turning the water back on) and then charging me to replace the sprinkler heads that he took with him.

I recently bought the Porter-Cable PC3PAK Finish Nailer/Brad Nailer/Stapler Compressor Combo Kit and decided that since I now have an air compressor, I may as well try to blow out the sprinkler system myself.

I usually try to buy my products directly from Amazon due to their speedy shipping, this item was only available via the manufacturer, but I'm happy to report they shipped it priority mail and it got to me in about 2 days.

Now to the meat and potatos!

Upon receiving this kit, I shut off the water to my sprinkler system, went out to the water line that comes out of the house and down to the sprinkler box. I unscrewed the cap on the top of the pipe and figured out which of the adapters in the kit was the right size to screw into the pipe. I found it and noticed it needed a 2nd adapter to match up to the main hose.

I took the teflon tape that came with the kit (awesome!) taped up the threads on the fittings being mindful not to tape the first thread on any of them (you don't want any tape coming loose and getting blown into your plumbing) and connected it all up to the sprinkler water pipe.

I connected it to my air compressor air line with the quick connect it comes with and was in business.

Check out the pictures I added to the product pictures on this item to see the final setup.

Bottom line, it worked like a champ.

The only part that sucked was that my compressor tank is just a bit small for this job so I had to empty the whole air tank into the sprinkler system, shut off the air flow (made sure easy by the shut off valve built into this unit), and let the compressor refill the tank a couple of times per sprinkler zone.

I know a lot of the videos on youtube show people opening up their sprinkler box and turning the solenoid valves to switch between zones. Since I have the IrrigationCaddy sprinkler controller that can be controlled by my iphone, I just turned it on as if I was running the sprinklers then switched through each zone one at a time until they were all blown out. Once I was done, I shut the system off and am done until spring.

Bottom line, this connector works wonderfully, comes with a million adapters so should fit just about any water connection and was cheap.

The fact that it just saved me $60 that it would have cost me to pay the sprinkler guy plus the extra money the guy would have charged me to replace the supposedly broken sprinkler heads in the spring means this thing just paid for itself and saved me at least $30 on top of its price for one use.

This kit is high quality and I'd expect it to work for years which means it's going to keep on saving me money year after year.

I would buy it again and would recommend it to friends and family.

This was awesome! I was going to have to go to the hardware store and figure out all the connectors and parts I would need. This solved all that hassle and it worked like a champ! Saved me so much time just connected the part I needed and BAM done! Thanks!

Stanley Bostitch SB-1850BN 18-Gauge Brad Nailer

Stanley Bostitch SB-1850BN 18-Gauge Brad Nailer
  • No-mar tip
  • Comfort grip
  • Directional exhaust
  • Adjustable depth control
  • Lightweight

I have used this nailer with 1" and 2" brad nails. It works well with both tank and tankless air compressors. I have put over 2000 nails through this nailer. It's safety works great for all uses of the home repair person. I have used it to from wall mounting shelving to nailing with glue for wood furniture. If I had one complaint with this product, it is that the depth adjustment is quite sensitive. If the nailer is angled at more than 30 degrees left or right (as one would do when nailing into the corner) the nail will not be fully engaged. When a hammer is used to fully seat the nail. The head of the nail usually bends over. If you purchase this product knowing this minor limitation, I feel that the overall safety, ease of use, and range of nail sizes will more than satisfy the most scrutinizing user.

I am a big time Delta/Porter-Cable enthusiast. Most everthing in my garage says Delta or Porter-Cable on it. They have been great with replacement parts and/or info over the phone. But I have to say that this Bostitch is a great little brad nailer. I own a PC BN200 brad nailer but the Bostitch is my hands down favorite. Super light weight, easy to grip, easy to load and no recoil (if you release the trigger after you remove the tip from the work surface). That's right! No dents even without the plastic tip.

Three things I like the best are:

1) It leaves a smaller and cleaner hole than my Porter-Cable.

2) It shoots 5/8" to 2" nails opposed to 3/4" to 2".

3) Being a smaller gun, it fits into tighter spaces and is easier to handle for longer periods of time.

Don't get me wrong, the Porter-Cable is great, but the Bostitch is just a little more refined.

One thing that should be noted, the Bostitch does not have a quick release nose piece but really, when was the last time you've ever had to clear a jam on a brad nailer? Besides, it won't happen with the restrictive on this unit.

At less than an expensive dinner, you owe yourself this one.

Don't second guess buy the best one first. It will be money very well spent.

I should have purchased this bradnailer a long time ago! You wouldn't believe the time saved attaching base and window trim to walls with no bashed wood or fingers. If you are looking for a great tool at a great price then this is it! The nails are shot with supreme accuracy and even the smallest trim was never "split" like with finish nails (no predrilling needed). Wonderfull light tool that is very easy to load and use. Uses 5/8" 18 gauge to 2" brads which I thought wouldn't hold worth a damn but was shocked! This tool is a must have for anyone who wishes to trim their home or do woodworking.

This nailer has everything I need to install moulding. It is lightweight, performs well, and is reasonably priced. The Senco may be a "better" gun, but it is 50% more in cost. I only use mine occasionally and the Bostitch satisfies my needs.

Porter-Cable PC3PAK Finish Nailer/Brad Nailer/Stapler Compressor Combo Kit

Porter-Cable PC3PAK Finish Nailer/Brad Nailer/Stapler Compressor Combo Kit
  • Innovative shroud allows for better protection and portability
  • 150 psi max allows users to drive more nails than a traditional 135 max psi compressor
  • 6 gal tank allows users to drive a large quantity of nails on a single tank charge
  • 2.6 SCFM90 psi allows for quick compressor recovery time
  • 2.6 SCFM90 psi allows for quick compressor recovery time, per ISO1217;34 lbs weight allows compressor to be easily carried

Let me start off by saying that the best price i found on this item is not on amazon but rather at home depot ($279), which makes this set a really great deal.

The compressor is likely the weakest link in this set. It is relatively noisy, although still much quieter than my 2.5hp 33gal craftsman, and there definitely are better options in this size.

Both nailers and the stapler are all superb. They're quiet and reliable. I am using cheap harbor freight nails and have not got a single jam in a few weeks of use. The depth adjustment is tool free and works very well on all three tools.

Overall, this is one of the best deals out there for a high quality nailer combo with a decent compressor.

This is a nice combo pack for the weekend user or hobbyist. The compressor requires no maintenance... a definite consideration when buying. Everything is easily accessible for adjustments and connections. The unit is compact, fairly light and packs up well for mobility. Compressor is a bit loud but I can live with that for the price. There is no air nozzle included, you'll need to buy that separately.

I hadn't as much as touched a nail gun prior to this purchase so I was a bit apprehensive at first. I was doing a remodel project and opted to do my own custom trim so I needed something for fast and clean nailing and finish nailing. This combo package was absolutely perfect for my project. Very easy to use and short learning curve. Quick-connect locking works great for switching from tool to tool very quickly. I liked the carrying case that it came with, makes for great storage of the guns and extra nails when not in use. The kit included most of what I needed I only added some accessories for some of the other cool things you can do once you haver a compressor in your home! I have had no issues at all and this has been a great decision for me. Based on some estimates I had done prior to my purchase this item paid for itself by the time I finished doing the trim in my second room. Based on my usage so far I am pretty sure the quality of this Porter Cable product will stand the test of time at the least, long enough for me to finish my project.

Want Porter-Cable PC3PAK Finish Nailer/Brad Nailer/Stapler Compressor Combo Kit Discount?

I'm very happy with my purchase of this kit. My dad does remodeling for a living and I've had alot of experience helping him out and using his expensive and professional tools so in general I'm difficult to please when it comes to tools, but I'm very happy with this purchase. I really like the fact that everything you need is included. I don't like having to go buy pieces in order to fit everything together. The only thing someone might need to go buy for this kit is a longer and maybe more durable air hose (this one works fine and is 25' long but stays curled up and doesn't actually stretch out to a full 25', probably more like a little under 20'.

When you are looking for a compressor, probably the number one complaint you are going to hear is that some of them are very loud. Well, I've used about ten on different job sites and at peoples houses helping them out and all of them have been loud. Some maybe slightly louder than others, but that just comes with the territory. An oil-less style compressor is always very loud. It doesn't bother me, but if I'm using a loud tool for an all day project I do like to wear ear plugs, and highly recommend it to others.

The compressor was easy to set up, worked just fine, has plenty of power, the controls are easy to use and shouldn't pose a problem to someone that hasn't used one before if they just read the manual quickly and is surprisingly light-weight. It fills up with air pretty quick too, so any of the guns it comes with you'll be able to do continuous work with without having to pause because the compressor is running out of air too fast. You might have this problem (as I've had before with other compressors) if you try to run a framing nail gun with this compressor. It could use up alot more air and you might have to wait to let it fill up, but it should have the power to shoot a framing nail gun with no trouble, which is something I like.

I have used all of the nail guns multiple times and they have performed flawlessly. I always shoot two or three practice nails into spare wood, adjust the depth on the gun to make sure it will get the nail or staple all the way sunk into the wood, and then I get to work. I've never had any of the guns jam and I've used probably 10000 nails on the 16 gauge gun and probably half as many on the brad nailer (judging by the number of boxes of nails I've purchased and used). I haven't had to do any maintenance on them or anything like that. I just blow them off before picking them up when I'm done with them. They don't feel quite as sturdy in my hand as some of the other brands that I've used but when I'm actually working with them, their performance is very good. The one problem I do have is that the little rubber tips on all of the guns are easy to knock off. If you don't store them carefully and are careful with them when using them you could easily knock them off. I don't like this because often I am using them for trim work, and that plastic is the only thing stopping the gun from putting dings in the trim as I'm putting it in. I've been able to keep track of mine so far, and have had to superglue one of them back on, but in my opinion, that's a small complaint for such an affordable set, and to be fair, it's a common problem. Probably the majority of the nail guns I've used over the years have had their rubber or plastic tips removed. With a little bit of care it's not that hard to keep track of them though, and I might be a little bit more picky about that than most.

In summary, I've owned the package for a year and a half and have been very happy with it. For a DIY type person this is more than enough power and doesn't break the bank, and I really like that. If I were in construction and used this kit every single day, I might would suggest a more heavy duty set, but I think this kit is an amazing deal for someone that is doing small home jobs or if you are like me and renovating your house.

I bought this combo pack in 2008 at a box store. I used it for various home-improvement projects, and found it a pleasure to work with... and then the compressor began to continuously leak air. (The three air tools all seem to be fine, including a heavily used stapler).

Seems ok quality for a few projects, but based on my experience, and other negative reviews here and on the compressor's page, don't expect the compressor to last.

1 star for the crummy compressor, 4 stars for the tools. The combo kit is still a good value for starting out.
