Campbell Hausfeld TL050299AV 1/2-Inch Impact Wrench Grab-N-Go Tool Kit

Campbell Hausfeld TL050299AV 1/2-Inch Impact Wrench Grab-N-Go Tool Kit
  • Includes bonus storage case for quick and easy storage of tool and accessories
  • Delivers 250-Feet lbs. of torque to help quickly remove and install lug nuts and bolts
  • Features push button forward and reverse switch for one-handed directional changes
  • Requires 5.1 SCFM at 90 PSI

Tool does the job at a very reasonable price, especially if you pretty much just use it to rotate tires. No need to buy a socket set for that since it includes a 3-inch extension and a reversable 3/4 13/16 socket. You must use the extension with this socket.

I bought this along with an entry level compressor because I had a crankshaft bolt that I could not remove by hand (could not keep shaft from turning). It did the job.

But, this is no 250 ft/lb wrench. I optimized my set-up, bigger hose, shorter run, no restrictions, not even a regulator. At 125 PSI straight off the tank, 20' of 1/2" line and high-flow connectors, I could not spin off lug nuts that I previously torqued to 100 ft/lb. I maintained and oiled it properly, this was probably after 10-15 uses, I mean pulls of the trigger.

So, it is what it is. If you buy this, you will ultimately wish you had something better. I bought a Stanley for about $80, and I'm good to go. I have not used this CH wrench once since... it sits in my shop with 2 years of dust on it. If you want one and are near Bemidji, come on by, you can have it for free.

This is not powerful enough to do tire changes. For a measly $25 it can be useful for quick tightening and loosening of nuts and bolts that are not too tight but for wheels and lug nuts or taking off stubborn pulleys look elsewhere for more power.

If you do alot of auto repair get a heavier duty one. But for the occasional use 5-10 times a year this is perfect.

I guess good enough for a backyard mechanic but definitely not for a professional. Too weak and poorly built. Went through 2 in 2 months!!

Bynford Laminated & Hardwood Flooring Stapler (uses SB97 type staples)

Bynford Laminated & Hardwood Flooring Stapler
  • Ideally suited for 5/16" floors, can also be used for floors from 1/4" - 1/2" (see details below)
  • Uses Bostitch SB97-1G and Bynford BYN-AFS1 1" 21 gauge flooring staples
  • Now includes BM Plastic Case

I got this stapler to do my Bruces 5/16 hard wood flooring and it was great. Did a room 14x13.5 in two days. 3/4 of the room in 6 hours after I got going. What a time saver and I did not have to rent, which would have cost the same. Do not go buying a 250 floor stapler if it is to do your own floor or if you are going to rent one. Take your time and use this. Jeff Wolfenson

Buy Bynford Laminated & Hardwood Flooring Stapler (uses SB97 type staples) Now

I bought the Bynford Floor Stapler last winter to lay engineered hardwood. I did not want to rent a stapler as I did not know how much time and help I would have. The previous spring I had laid about 250 square feet of 5/16 oak using a brad nailer, which worked fine but was time consuming placing the brads. With the Bynford my 2 sons and I laid about 450 square feet of the engineered oak hardwood in a day and a half, with only a couple of staple jams. This included all cutting and the occasional carpet staple and nails we would run into and have to remove (no matter how much prep you do you will still find these!). We use the stapler with a small Coleman compressor with a one pound tank. We found Bostitch staples in this size at our local Menards, but our local Lowes did not have them. Have not checked Home Depot.

One of my son's friends recently bought a house. My son took the Bynford over there and they laid over a 1000 square feet of 5/16 bamboo with no problems. I have done a lot of construction and remodeling over the last couple of years and this has been one of the best values I have bought in a tool.

I am a home renovator and tend to buy only the best tools possible. Don't let the price of this gun fool you. It is very well made and balanced. Have done over 2000 sq ft of flooring since delivery without 1 problem. Only drawback is no available adaptor plate for 1/2 in flooring. Go spend $250 for a gun with this feature. Installed all 1/2 flooring with it though, with little effort. Just pay attention to your angle or glue a little 1/8in strip to the base for proper fitment. Very easy for most homeowners to use. Make sure you order staples. May be a challenge to find in some areas. This gun will save any homeowner or contractor lots of money. You'll be pleased....

The Bynford flooring stapler is as good as the Bostich and other similar nailers without a doubt! I have owned the Bostich and when I bought the Bynford I was surprised at how well constructed the Bynford is.I have installed about 2000 sq. ft and not one jam or problem!

Was sceptical about purchasing this gun, Not being a name brand but am very happy with purchase. Have shot 7500 staples so far and it jammed twice. Pretty good average I guess. I recomend this for the DIYer but wouldn't suggest for comercial work.

Stanley Bostitch N89C-1 Coil Framing Nailer

Stanley Bostitch N89C-1 Coil Framing Nailer
  • Pneumatic coil framing nailer with an adjustable exhaust
  • Patented push-button adjustable depth guide sets nails to desired depths quickly and easily
  • Lightweight magnesium design; aggressive wear guards to protect the tool from damage on abrasive surfaces
  • Magazine holds up to 300 nails
  • 12-1/4 inches long, 14 inches high; weighs 8.1 pounds; 7-year limited warranty

I purchased this gun as a quick replacement for my Max CN890II which Ive had for about 8 years. At almost half the cost of the Max I'm very glad I switched. No case, but I'd rather have a nice quality gun than a case. I overnighted the gun so I could get back to finishing my barn the next day after my Max died.. Oiled it up and ran about 9 rolls of various nails through it that afternoon and it fired on queue every time.. Very strong quick and predictable. Highly recommend this one!

Buy Stanley Bostitch N89C-1 Coil Framing Nailer Now

Just bought this gun after my old bostitch stick nailer died. I must say this thing is amazing.

As a contractor, I love the features it has. It feels well balanced and is easier to fit in smaller spaces than the traditional stick nailer. I like how I can set it down on its face when im working, I just grab it and go. no laying down and picking up.

A bonus feature that I did not expect nor does the write up tell you about is that It comes with a factory rafter hook that is well placed.

The only thing I can say bad is that it didnt come with a case, not really a big deal but here on the coast rust is a problem so I like to keep tools in their cases.

Cant go wrong with this gun.

Excellent Nailgun. At first I had misfires or jams and couldn't shoot 10 nails in a row. I changed the couplings on my hose (the mild hiss was a give away) to better couplings. I reconnected the gun and had no hiss from the coupling to the gun or the coupling to the compressor. I went through 2,000 nails without a jam or misfire! Especially helpful was the extra trigger to convert the gun from a sequential to a single fire gun.

Want Stanley Bostitch N89C-1 Coil Framing Nailer Discount?

This framing gun is everything I expected it to be. I like the coil nailers better than the stick nailers because they are much easier to work with in tight areas. Not to mentioned the N89C-1 is capable of driving 16d nails which was the advantage of the stick nailers before. Amazon's great price and fast shipping just makes everything that much better.

Note: The framing gun comes with two triggers "Smart" (Black Trigger) and "Sequential" (Gray trigger). I left the "Smart" trigger on as that is what I have always used. Some people like to change out the triggers because of the possibility of a double fire if the gun hits the surface twice. If you can control the gun and not let it bounce back after the recoil you shouldn't have any problems with double firing.

I bought this nailer after working with a stick nailer for far too long. This Bostich is far more compact and versatile than a stick nailer. A friend had his for 18 years and didn't do any maintenance on it, so I figure with maintenance this may be the only framing nailer I'll ever buy.

Stanley Bostitch CAP2000P-OF 6-Gallon 2.0 Peak HP Oil-Free Compressor

Stanley Bostitch CAP2000P-OF 6-Gallon 2.0 Peak HP Oil-Free Compressor
  • Oil-free pump requires less maintenance
  • 2.8 CFM at 90PSI with 150 maximum operating pressure for improved tool performance
  • Large 6-gallon reserve tank with ball-type drain valve for easy drainage
  • Impact-resistant composite shroud protects gauges against jobsite damage
  • Weighs only 38-pounds for portability

Got a great deal on this compressor, it's fairly

new, doing light duty around the house, so it has

not been tested very heavily. It's supposed to be

brand new, not refurbished, but the box it came in

made me question that, the box looked like it was

shipped around the world, and then the plastic carrying

handle on the top cracked on the first job in the

back yard in the first 2 weeks of use. It's supposed

to be brand new, and the plastic carrying handle

cracks in the first 2 weeks....what's with that?

Made me question the quality of construction of the

whole thing, it's a high pressure compressor for

goodness sake, but still using it, others swear by

it.

I've had mine for about two years, and use it mostly for putting air in our tires. Started a woodworking project this weekend and after the first few hours the pressure reducer has gone out, and the compressor no longer works. I now have to decide if I want to try to repair it or buy something different.

Do NOT purchase this compressor. Mine burned out with very little use. Others have had constant problems with the regulator. The pressure regulator is a piece of junk.

Bostitch used to be synonymous with quality. This compressor is garbage. Air chuck leaked almost immediately and was replaced, regulator always leaked. Cooling fan stripped out and exploded within a year. Fan was replaced. Motor has now died after only two years. When you can get a compressor, 3 nail guns, hose, bag, etc... for $250, I guess you shouldn't expect much, but when you are in the middle of a job, you can't afford for things to be breaking down. This compressor is not reliable.

My buddy owns this compressor, and has had it for at least 3 years. We do a lot of handyman work. He and I have run roofing nailers, framers, trim nailers, and used it pretty heavily throughout the years. Never had a problem that I know. The air regulator is stiff and not too dependable, but we don't usually turn the pressure down and just leave it at max, which is about 120 psi. There's not too many tools that can't take that pressure.

I like the fact that it is light and relatively quiet. So you can plug it in indoors and you can talk over it. It vibrates a little and wants to walk around on a slick floor, but oh well. It is too dependable to not give a high rating, although there are obviously compressors that put out more air.

Bostitch makes pretty good stuff, and this is no exception. The thing I like about it most is that it will start reliably when it is cold, and being oil-free it won't spill oil when tossed in the back of a truck crooked... which happens to be one of our favorite pastimes!!

Ingersoll Rand C38341-600-VS 1/2-Inch Filter-Regulator-Lubricator Combination, Black/Gray

Ingersoll Rand C38341-600-VS 1/2-Inch Filter-Regulator-Lubricator Combination, Black/Gray
  • Combination ideal for multiple applications
  • Manual drain and polycarbonate bowl with guard
  • Easy relieving with gauge
  • Machined aluminum fittings
  • Other configurations can be used depending on application needs

These are generally light duty regs and filters, the water resivoir is far to small for high CFM use, the fittings are machined from aluminum and easy to damage and overall the set up is light duty. I would spend more if i had it to by again and get a larger unit from elsewhere with an auto bleeder on the filter side.

When i pulled the unit out of the box the center screw had ripped straight through the pot metal backing. It was an easy fix though. I ended up putting a longer screw and a washer that would overlap the broken pot metal. The air knob is easy to adjust and is very precise. It stores lots of liquid and also contains an adjustable lubricator vessel. Although it has it's one fault I am really enjoyinf this unit.

Great product for the home shop, Not industrial grade but suits my needs. Easy to drain, regulator works great and the lubricator keeps my tools oiled. I do recommend shutting of the air and bleeding the lines to add oil to the lubricator. Has I/2" female NPT on both sides for in and out connections. Main body is aluminum so don't go gorilla attaching your lines or you'll strip them out. Bowls are plastic.

I am sad to say that the photo of this switch shown on this date is a misrepresentation of the product. The photo shown clearly indicates that the switch is "Made in the USA". In fact it is "Made in Mexico". I will say that I installed it and it worked fine from the get go. How well it holds up remains to be seen. I actually went out of my way to buy a Square D Switch as I have always had good service from their products. I don't understand why we can no longer make a switch like this in the USA. I hope Square D's quality control in Mexico is as good as it was in the USA. Delivery of this switch was very timely, I'm just sad that it wasn't made by one of my unemployed neighbors.
