Hyundai HPC3010 3-Gallon Air Compressor Kit

Hyundai HPC3010 3-Gallon Air Compressor Kit
  • Compact design allows for maximum portability
  • Oil free compressor pump delivers high performance and no maintenance
  • Lightweight 3-gallon tank with oversized easy to read gauges
  • Compatible with all tools and accessory brands
  • 7-Piece air fitting kit and 25-foot recoil hose included

After following the break in period instructions, I was ready for business. When I started it up for use, everytime the pressure reached 40lbs, the release valve popped and the pressure dropped. I unplugged it, examined the release vlave and noticed that the ring on the valve was jammed and not allowing the valve to completely close. So I unjammed it and the pressure went up without issue in about 10 minutes. The other problem was with the operating instruction. It tells you to turn the knob counter-clockwise when staring up. It doesn't tell you that once the presuure is up you need to turn the right knob clockwise in order to power you're equipment. I bought it to power an upholstery stapler and it worked great! Can't wait to get more attachments!

This was a good inital buy for a first time air compressor buyer. I wanted something better than a plug in pump for bike tires but did not want to break the bank or buy a refurbushed one. This compressor takes about 4 minutes to reach 90psi (max) and automatically shuts off. This is good. The only bad thing is that it comes with no real usable tools (ie tire chuck) and gives pretty bad instructions. The good, it was $100 for an air compressor that I use a lot. The time it takes to fill does not bother me. I am pretty happy with it and after buying a tire chuck I am very happy. Pretty loud while compressing, but a good little compressor. My suggestion is buying the craftsman compressor, you will engjoy a better one!

I bought this for my husband mostly for bike tires and to pump up balls. We had to buy all new attachments because this doesn't come with those. We only used it about 5 or 6 times over the period of a year and the last time my husband went to turn it on nothing happened. Pretty frustrating because it was right when the warranty was up.

I ordered this compressor for light duty around the house/garage. The first time I went to use it, it seemed to work well enough to add a bit of air to my riding lawnmower's slighty-delfated tired. After that, I figured I'd top off the rest of the tires and then move on to checking our car's tires. Sadly, the compressor stopped working at this point. The pressure emptied when I tried to use it and it didn't turn back on to refill itself. I tried powering it off and back on, unplugging it and plugging it back in, and manually depressurizing it. The motor only slight flickered on once briefly hen I was moving it aroudn while examinging it.

I had followed the instructions (including the "break-in" time) but still I went back and dboule-checked to see if I was just missing something. I found no solutions.

The good news is that Amazon was amazing at handling the return. I submitted my request, stuffed it all back in the box, and the UPS driver came the next day and took care of the rest. I've decided to just buy one of these on sale locally.

Looks nice and pumps air but quite, NO! You need ear protection if using in a garage or you'll have hearing loss real soon.

Campbell Hausfeld 3/8-Inch to 1-1/4-Inch 18-Gauge Narrow Crown Air Powered Stapler: Model CHN10399

Campbell Hausfeld 3/8-Inch to 1-1/4-Inch 18-Gauge Narrow Crown Air Powered Stapler: Model CHN10399
  • 3/8- to 1-1/4-inch 18-gauge narrow crown stapler1/4" male industrial plug (1/4" NPT)
  • Adjustable depth guide; quick-release nose door for fast jam clearing
  • Non-marring tip will not dent the work surface. Adjustable exhaust
  • Includes 1000 1-inch finishing staples, male plug, 2 hex wrenches, oil, carry case
  • 3-year warranty

Questionable quality. I've had the gun just over a month and found it easy to use, lightweight, nice balance. I was fairly impressed. Then it just quit working, I'm guessing a seal ruptured somewhere inside b/c it just leaks instead of firing.

If I could get hold of someone at customer service I would find out what is wrong for sure, but they don't answer the phone, even during their limited office hours, and seemingly don't respond to their email. I'm sure it's still under warranty, but probably won't be by the time I finally get hold of someone.

UPDATE:

The leak was apparently the result of a seal getting dry on the shelf and coming unseated. It was a quick DIY fix. Since then, I've been using it regularly without any problems or complaints. I'd change the rating to a 4* if I could.

I wanted a cheap stapler that works well enough for my needs (occasional use). This really fits the bill. I have other Campbell Hausfeld air nailers and they all work fine.

This Little beauty is way more than I expected. I've only had it a short time but it is seemingly well made, performs very well and has features like the depth adjustment for the amount of penetration into the wood, which allows for proper use on both soft and hardwoods, and a very ergonomic soft grip handle. I highly recommend it. I don't think that, for the price, it can be beat.

This gun works great with the little compressor that I bought my husband last father's day. He used it to put hex netting up on our newly built fence, and we love it.

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!
