I have a little 2hp air compressor in my garage that is over twenty years old. I still had the air hose that came with it but it had leaks and was getting pretty frayed. I just happened to be looking through a tool catalog one day when I came across this air hose. I checked to see who sold this online and saw that Amazon.com did so I decided to buy it and got the 100 ft. one to replace the old 50 ft. hose. This is the best air hose I have come across and Ive been looking for awhile. What I really like is the flexibility of this air hose and how it doesn't get stiff in cold weather like a cheap garden hose. I am completely satisfied with this product and highly recommend it to any one needing a new air hose.

I'm an everyday framer and have used almost every air hose on the market. This hose is worthless. The factory ends broke in two weeks and after replacing them I literally threw this hose in the dump trailer. Buy a Flexeel or a basic rubber hose, don't waste your money.

I've worked in the automotive industry for many years and used all types of air hoses from cheap to decent. I came across this hose at Sears and decided to replace my personal compressor hose at home. This product is awesome. I have never seen or used anything like it. It definitely delivers what it says and is top notch.

I had been using a 1/4 inch polyurethane air hose for my air tools when my wife bought this 3/8 inch Flexzilla hose off my wish list for Christmas. Anybody that has experience with polyurethane hoses will know that their light weight is a nice feature, but that they are not nearly as pliable as some of the other alternatives. Flexzilla hoses are the most pliable hoses that I have seen and they are constructed very well. Although this hose is a bit heavier, I still find it easier nicer to work with than the polyurethane hose.

Ingersoll-Rand SS3J5.5GH-WB 5.5 Horsepower 8 Gallon Oiled Gas Twin Pontoon Compressor

• Honda Gas Engine
• Durable cast iron construction
• 100% continuous duty cycle for tough applications
• 11.8 acfm at 90 psi
• 8 gallon twin tanks

I'm strongly considering buying this item, sadly not from amazon because their price is MUCH higher than places such as tsc. Anyway, one of the big reason for my decision to buy this unit is the company IR, IR is basically air compressors, but now I'm much more doubtful based on a customer review for tyhis item that's apparently listed as another product. Here is that gentleman's story in full -not a very good job IR!

Ingersoll Rand Gas Portable Air Compressor 5.5 HP, 11.8 CFM At 90 PSI, Model# SS3J5.5GHWB

The Northern Tool company is great in itself, transaction went through cleanly and quickly and the compressor was soon on its way to my home through freight shipping. Ordered a few other tools along with the compressor and those got to my house quickly and at an excellent price. But then when the nightmare began.

I received my air compressor sometime around mid june and broke the engine in as per manufacturer instructions. First day out on the job I ran it for about 10 minutes and it broke down! cost me 200 dollars in lost wages that day!

I called Ingersoll-Rand customer service. After waiting about 20 minutes to actually talk to someone they told me (in a quite rude manner) that I should take it to a specialized certified mechanic in town that fixes all of their products and that it wasnt a problem with the factory.

I took it to the mechanic they had referred me to only to find out they were not an Ingersoll-Rand service center! IR had revoked his certification because he wasnt meeting some kind of quota set by IR!

I called IR back to confirm the place and they told me not to go to the mechanic they had referred me to earlier, instead to go 150 miles south to a shop in Los Angeles! I, rather annoyed, reminded them that I was loosing money every day this machine was down and that I expected better service from them and better quality of product. Well they basicly told me I wasnt important and told me I had no choice but to take it down to Los Angeles or try to fix it myself.

Well I couldnt wait. I took the compressor apart and found out that some numbnut at the factory did not properly tighten the screws on the flywheels that connect the engine to the compressor pump. As a matter of fact it didnt even have the square key thats designed to hold the wheel in place! The wheel on the engine side had been stripped to the point where it was unusable.

Once again I called them to find out if the parts I could order to get this thing up and running again would be covered under warranty, and they told me since I took it apart it was no longer under warranty and that I was up the creek without a paddle.

50 dollars in parts later I had it up and running and I was making money again.

Since then the compressor has been excellent. It has not failed since I fixed it and it has a higher CFM per PSI than other compressors in its price range, and the Honda engine is one of the best and most reliable on the market right now. In all honesty I love this compressor but IRs customer service left a bad taste in my mouth.

Would I recommend this compressor? Yes, just make sure all the parts are tightened and in place becore you start it for the first time, especially the flywheels.

Am I happy with Ingersoll-Rand? Heck no. If push came to shove I will probably buy an Emglo or Dewalt compressor next time.

the reason for the 3 stars is because when I first installed it I teflon taped every thing rite down to the bowl(where did it leak from you may ask?)directly from the pressure diaphragm(where you adjust the main pressure out)why?because some jack ass installed it upside down.if you buy this be carefull because you may need to take apart the regulator to flip the pressure diaphragm over on the correct side(the side with the spring recess)one side has no recess and the other does,but after the repair it holds pressure perfect.would only recommend if you are mechanically suficient.

Campbell Hausfeld VT6290 20 Gallon ASME Oil-Lubricated Horizontal Air Compressor

• Heavy duty CAST IRON oil lubricated twin cylinder pump
• Powers a variety of air tools for the serious do it yourselfer or contractor
• Product life of up to 5000 hours based on b-10 bearing rating
• Quietest operation
• Durable and safe ASME code tank

I too had a shipping problem though with another carrier (ABF). The shipping box is flimsy and cannot adequately support nor protect the compressor and parts. Mine arrived with a broken regulator, pressure gauge and air-filter assembly all of which apparently snapped off during shipment with no visible exterior box damage.

As the other reviewer also mentioned the compressor does NOT come with oil so be sure to have SAE30 air-compressor oil ready when it arrives. The manual does indicate the usage of Mobil 1 synthetic 10W-30 too. Also, you will need to provide your choice of air outlet connector.

If it wasn't for the bad shipment packaging I'd say initially that the compressor is a good buy but if Campbell Hausfeld has so little regard to protecting their product in shipment to you I question the integrity of the machine itself. The better products all seem to have better packaging and this one ranks poorly and for that I give it 3 stars tops.

UPDATE 7/15: I am updating this review a full day after receiving and can add more to the trials and tribulations of purchasing a C-H compressor.

I was able to replace the broken regulator and gauge with a Home Depot Husky replacment for $17.99. The oil was another $3 (buy two pints as you need to replace the oil after 1 hour use). A 1/4" quick connect female added $4 as well. The air filter assembly is currently taped but working until I can get a replacment.

After replacing the parts and turning on to run for the 10 minute break-in period I was plagued with mutliple leaks. One leak occurred in the main pipeline to tank (seal was improperly installed), another in the undamaged tank pressure gauge (somone missed adding teflon tape) and the third in the pressure tubing to the cutoff switch (not tightened). All in all if you include travel time to Home Depot nearly 2-1/2 hours were spent just getting the compressor to work only to discover that there is a leak at weld where the pump mount attaches to the tank.

On the plus side is the quietness and the nicely powered 120/240v motor. Do watch r gauge of wire (use 12ga min.) if using an extension cable as this compressor does draw a load when starting.

IMHO I wouldn't order a product like this if you need it for an immediate job as it will take to either repair yourself or to return and await a replacement. I have not heard back from Amazon Customer Service as yet and I am still pondering exchanging or flat out returning the item while waiting for Amazon to consider what avenue of resolution to pursue. I needed this compressor to replace my dead one and ordered it to coincide with my time at home as I could not expect my wife to unload it. I replaced the parts so that I could at least have use during the upcoming week off.

To Amazon: it is just as important for you to insure that your customer will receive a product undamaged and to that end I lay partial blame on you for not checking product quality and packaging. It is now my decision that I will be returning this item.

The manufacturer (25%) and FedEx (75%) are at fault for all the damage the unit received in transit. The box is too weak for such a heavy item. The box was busted on one side causing some of the content to spill outside (a tire and air filter). On top of that, FedEx delivered the box upside down, causing the discharge tube to bend, the air filter to separate from the pump, a busted pressure gauge and a bent handle bar. The FedEx people did not bother to collect a signature because they knew that anyone at home would have refused delivery of the unit in such a poor condition. So they just dropped (upside down) it and ran away.

The kind people at Campbell Hausfeld will send me all the damaged parts at no cost to fix it. I decided to get it fixed rather than return it because the box is not suitable for return shippping anymore and I am going on vacation in a week.

So I filled the ugly duckling with oil, did the 30 minute pump break in, and it worked very well. The tank takes around 4 minutes to fill up to 135 pounds of pressure. No breakers were tripped.

The compressor DOES NOT include oil. It takes 12 ounces of Mobil 1 10W-30 Synthetic oil. You need to get your own couplers and fittings. The air filter supplied causes the compressor to be kind of noisy. When I removed the filter, the noise level drops a few dbs. A motor start-up capacitor rattles inside a round enclosure attached to the motor itself. I wrapped it in insulating foam tape and the noise went away.

Except for the awful FedEx delivery, I am happy with the compressor. The people at Amazon really go the extra mile to make sure you are happy with your purchase. Free delivery, free air hose, no tax, and 10% off. Can't beat that.

The product would have been fine but I received the compressor upside down. I believe the flimsy box it was packaged in was the main problem. Also the product is to heavy for normal delivery and it just gets thrown around by ups. I had to return my item because the gages were all broken. The motor mount was bent down, cooling fins on the head were broke and it was all beat up. I returned it and bought a quincy.

Shipped via UPS. Several parts were damaged and will require replacement including the regulator and discharge tube. Campbell Hausfeld told me to deal with Amazon and/or UPS. I just ordered the parts instead of going through that hastle. So since I have to buy some parts to use this thing I cannot recommend ordering this through Amazon.

Ampro A2570 5 Piece Air Coupler Set Brass, Milton Type

• Contains 1ea: 1/4 Female Air Coupler, 1/4" Female Connector and 3ea. 1/4" Male Connector

I installed these on a 3/8 hose. I used tape on the threads and there are no leaks around the threads. However, there is an air leak from the coupler. The male end does not fit snug enough into the coupler. If there is any lateral pressure on the connector/coupler, air leaks from the coupler. For example, when I connect the hose/coupler to the male connector in the end of my Ingersoll Rand 2130 Impact Driver, the hose must hang straight down from the tool. Any slight tug or slight pull on the hose, and air leaks from the coupler. This must be a problem with the coupler (not the connector), since I have no problem with air leaking from the coupler connected to the tank.

The are nicely made and finished. No jagged edges and they fit well my other air compressor accessories. One good thing about this kit is that it includes an adapter with a female thread. I had bought an air chuck that came with a male thread, so I needed this kit and the female thread adapter to fit the air chuck to my air hose, which also has a male thread. Another kit that is sold here did not include an adapter with a female thread, so that one is useless to me. That other one was also made of steel, unlike this kit, which is made of brass.

I like that they give you males and one female, which you might need if you're building a hose.

I've had cheaper generic steel ones that leak air, but these seem to fit perfectly and don't leak.

Want Ampro A2570 5 Piece Air Coupler Set Brass, Milton Type Discount?

Bought a compressor and a couple of nail guns in a kit. Wanted to add an oil/moisture filter/separator on a more substantial and longer hose than came with kit. Needed a few quick connects to make it all come together. Selected these. What a disappointment. The male and female with thread configuration did not work correctly with the air flow on the o/m f/s. Had to get a nipple and coupling to make it work. Now the configuration is several inches longer than it needs to be. This is tolerable if I pay attention to what I am doing. The worst issue which is intolerable is the leak rate between the coupler and my nail guns. The fit snaps on well but requires very careful positioning when I set the gun down to stop the air leak. I would not recommend these for any userunless your favorite sound at the job site is hearing your compressor run constantly, they leak that badly on my Porter Cable guns.

Can't use at all. Totally defective. Sliding sleeve does not slide. Dangerous. Poorly made. No quality control. First attempt to put together would have let manufacturer know it was bad. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

Paasche 300T-000 Quick Application Tanning Spray Gun

This gun works really nicely. I only have a small 1 gallon compressor with a 1/2 hp motor and after looking everywhere and not wanting to upgrade my compressor this was looking like the best solution. It turned out to be the perfect solution. This gun sprays very well with only about 15-20 psi. The spray is clean, without any globs or chunky spots.

I dont really understand why there are no review on this product anywhere online but I think that it is a great solution for at home tanning. I know that the gun is a little more pricy then a lot of other products but as soon as you have it in your hand you will understand why. There are no plastic parts other then the cup and everything is very sturdy and dependable. I can tell that this will last a long time.

I hope to see more reviews about this in the near future and thank paasche once again for its products.

So happy I bought this spray gun...I first tried spraying this gun with water just to see how it sprayed...it comes out in such a fine mist.....I have even sprayed myself with the ocean spray tan solution with no tint....I couldn't find any streaks anywhere....I actually was able to spray myself..and do it in about 5 minutes....with this spray gun I was able to reach even my back....the spray covers such such a big area with the fine mist...I've never done this before either....the only thing I did was watched some you tube videos on how to spray with this type of gun....I really recommend this because it really gives you an idea how to do it.....The gun is made so well....it's all metal....no plastic at all...when you use this gun you'll understand why it cost so much....it's commercial grade....the thing will last forever!!!

BAZIC Duct Tape, 1.89 Inch x 60 Yards, Green

A slick-finished tape that does not hold very well. This tape is only good for a very temporary fix. It's a step up from masking tape, but not a large step. I use it for protecting surfaces when I'm prying something close. It lifts off without damaging paint or wallpaper.

I realize you get what you pay for, but this tape is useless.

It has little to no 'stickum', it does not hold or even 'apply' I bought two rolls of it and both were like this.

ALSO I ordered 'red' tape, and this stuff is a faded, washed-out color, more a pale pink or even a pale-orange in places.

Don't buy it, spend a little more, it's worth it in the end

Duct Tape 1.89' x 60 yards should be 1 pound, if you can check with Uline or Adhes Tape.

For 7.7 ounces in weight, either the thickness is very thin or the length is not correct.

This is not your normal duct tape. Or not the kind I am use to at least. It is overly sticky on the back. If you get this stuck together on itself you are not getting it pulled apart. I used it to cover some wooden dowels. And it worked great. I still have TONS left over because 60 yards is a lot more then I guess I thought it would be. Nice product and super sticky.

Campbell Hausfeld HV2500 58 CFM Fine Finish HVLP Paint Sprayer

• HVLP fine finish paint sprayer with 2-stage tangential turbine and 2 air filters
• Sprays light, medium, heavy-stains, varnishes, oil-based paint, and latex
• Durable metal body, plastic hose
• Includes spray gun, 25-foot hose, 2 needle/nozzle sets, wrench, viscosity stick, strainers, cleaning brush
• 12-1/2 by 22-1/2 by 12-1/2 inches; 32 pounds; 3-year limited warranty

I've had this unit for a couple of years now...and in short it's priced fairly. Not too great but not too bad. It got me started with HVLP. It just does not have enough power for shooting any thick (even kinda thick) finish. If you just want to shoot waterborne poly it works fine.

I wanted to shoot paint and oil based poly. For paint, forget it. Even with the heavy needle it just shoots splatter. For oil based poly it can't shoot a smooth even finish. With the heavy needle in it you get orange peel.

It was a good intro machine for me, but I ended up going for the top end

Accuspray on the second go round. Triple the price but you get professional results (why waste your time spraying if you get sub-par results?) and 3M's PPS which makes clean up a breeze. You know it's hard to justify the price for an expensive unit but think how many hours you have into your project. Why risk an average finish on it.

I have tried HVLP conversion guns in the past...Well, cheapy ones and was left dissapointed. A bathroom project that consisted of spraying a significant amount of Urethane and a bathtub with Acrylic polyurethane was on my list so I needed an HVLP and decided I wanted a turbine. Not wanting to invest alot of money I did a tremendous amount of research and decided on the HV2500. Although it is only a 2 stage unit I was satisfied with the specs and decided to give it a try. This unit comes with a fine and general fluid set. For an affordable $15 I bought a thick coatings fluid set should I attempt latex.

I used the Fine fluid set for the clear urethane which came out fantastic with great atomization and no runs. For the white Acrylic Polyurethane on the bathtub I used the general fluid set with satisfactory results. I got some orange peel but I blame that more on lack of experience than I do the HVLP itself. I need more practice spraying and getting the settings just right. The gun is reasonably easy to clean and should last a while so long as your not using this commercially. The unit comes with a 25' hose which is great to afford you the ability to keep the unit far away from the spraying vacinity and since they sound like vacuum cleaners the farther away the noise the better.

Overall if your looking for a decent HVLP with good parts availability at a really good price, give the HV2500 a try. It may suprise you.

Bought the CH HV2500 to paint all the cabinets in my house. Had never used a sprayer before. Took me six days to prepare the cabinets (remove hardware, wash, sand, prime, tape off face etc), and only about three hours to spray the whole job, 62 cabinets. I sprayed acrylic latex. The hardest part was in getting this thick paint thinned down to the correct viscosity. I also used Floetrol to help the latex lay flat. Once I discovered the correct mix, the CH HV2500 put on a mirror-like finish. I am very happy with this product.

(although the 2 stage won't accomodate paint) we are so happy with it that we are going to stick with this one!

It takes practice to achieve great results to this system. The manual is very poor. I would not consider purchasing a cheaper system.

I'm spraying latex which needs to be thinned with water to look like chocolate milk. I also add Flotrol to help level out the finish. Don't expect to be spraying like an expert on your first try. However, after my third or fourth attempt I was happy. I'm assuming the finish will only improve as I get familiar with thinning paint and using the system.

The finish looks great but the application of paint seems to take forever. It does beat using brushes and/or rollers. There is hardly any overspray. I'm using it to spray custom cabinets/tables, etc.

...no one said finishing would be easy...this just makes it a little easier...
