Aero Air Pump with Flashlight
But it does not fit my Aerobed, which is obviously an 'older' model withthe twist lock valve and a wide nozzle.
The adapters that came with the Pump, won't fit into or over the filler cap.
I'll make it work, but it is disappointing that I wasn't made aware of this simple fact in the product description, as I would then have purchased any of a number of other similar and cheaper pumps
as I am not in a position to return the pump ( live far far away) I guess I have to adapt the adaptor to fit! We are good at that kind of think in this part of the worldI have this model pump, but it came with a queen sized Aerobed mattress that cost about $90. Not sure why the pump alone would be $30 plus shipping. It worked well for a year and a half, but died abruptly. I assumed the batteries were dead, so I replaced them, but no dice. The flashlight still works, but the air is completely dead. I've used it fewer than a dozen times. I ordered a Coleman replacement, hopefully that will last.The product is light weight comes with the car charger and different inserts for other inflatables, it is an out-door product! the lights do not work without (8) C batteries in which the lights are pretty bright in which i was amazed! worth the purchase.

Hitachi NR90AE(S) 3-1/2-Inch Full-Head Framing Strip Nailer
- Round-head 2- to 3-1/2-inch framing nailer with selective actuation switch (sequential or bump) for convenience
- 70-120 psi operating pressure; simple tool-free depth adjustment; vibration isolation pads mounted on nose
- 2-piece anodized aluminum magazine, comfortable non-slip rubber grip
- Comes with safety glasses
- Lightweight and well-balanced at 7.5-pounds; 5-year warranty
NAIL TYPES:
This shoots the most common angle of 21 degree (the strips of nails and the magazine on the gun are set at an angle this angle helps give clearance for the lower part of the tool while being used). I have no idea why most specifications for nailers don't say this because there are strip nails sold that vary from 20-30 degrees and nothing but 21 degree will work in this gun (most nailers are 21 degree but if you're not in the know, this can be a real hassle).
If you are confused about nail sizes (and most guys who are not pro framers seems to be horribly confused), you can look it up but i can make it easy for you. With almost any structural work, you want use a nail thickness (shank, guage, diameter it's called various things but we're talking how fat the shaft of the nail is) of 0.131. You will see thinner (0.113) and thicker (0.148+) don't bother with them unless you know that's what is called for.
You're most common nail for structural framing, is known as "8D common." Not "8D" not "8D cooler" it is precisely 8D common, with a thickness of 0.131 and a length of 2.5 inches. Most codes require that specific/exact/precise nail but of course some things require larger nails, like a 16D but that's about length since the fact is, 8D common and 16D share the exact same shaft of 0.131. If you're confused by some of the various packaging statements, just know that you want to see 0.131 thickness. You can get various lengths for that shank but they are usually 2.5 3.5 inches.

I have only been using this nailer for two weeks and it's definitely been one of the best tool choices I've made. During this time it has driven 6,000 3 1/4" stainless ring shank nails into lots of 2 by Pressure Treated. There's really no downside to this nailer that I`ve found. It is very powerful and drives these nails fine as long as the line pressure is at least 100psi. Don't expect a little pancake compressor to feed this rapid fire or you will probably be disappointed. Because I am framing and decking with this gun I found the quick lever adjustment between trigger fire and bump fire to be useful in avoiding unwanted multi-fires. This gun loads very easily, contrary to another review, you can insert your nail strips, then you pull back the tension lever and it will automatically catch after the last nail. I have another 4,000 nails to go for this job and so far it has been a great performer.Update 4-20-11 I've now put 8,000 3 1/4 SS ring shanks and another 3,000 B & C Eagle 314X120HDR/22 Round Head 3-1/4-Inch by .120-Inch by 20 to 22 Degree Plastic Collated Hot Dipped Galvanized Ring Shank Framing Nail (4,000 per Box)through the gun with no jams and only a couple miss-fires. I am now working away from my big shop compressor and I have borrowed a Bostitch CAP2060P 10.5 Amp 2-Horsepower 6-Gallon Oil-Free Pancake Compressor with a PUR-Hose PUR-38X100 3/8-Inch X 100 Foot Polyurethane 250 PSI Air Hose. It works for about 10 quick shots then you must slow down or even stop while the compressor catches up. I'll shoot another 3,000 stainless and then be done for a while. No problems at all with the nailer

I am boggled by negative reviews on the Hitachi NR90AE nailer, have to believe off-brand nails, damaged strip collation and operator error are responsible. I have owned the NR90AE for 3 years, shoot only Hitachi nails and have NEVER had a single jam or miss fire.Can't shoot 8D and smaller nails? Not for sheathing? ..... Say what? Just shot a box of Hitachi galv 2-3/8" ring shanks into studs through 5/8" sheathing with flawless performance.
Build quality on this "made in Japan" gun is sooooooo superior to all the "made in China" framers out there, super light and balanced, yet powerful with a precise depth of drive adjustment. And you can purchase this high quality tool for less then much of the disposable junk coming out of China, now that's value!
Is it perfect? No, would be nice if Hitachi provided a sky hook and bumpers to protect that beautiful finish and grip sloped surfaces.

I have had the gun for a week and it is an awesome tool. It has loads of power no recoil and a nice placement tip. the trigger is adjustable from bump fire to set fire and its a great gun for the money.the only bad is that the nails are not the most common nails to find.I have other Hitachi products and have found them to be well made and dependable. This nailer is no different. I've used 3-1/4" and 2-1/4" collated round head nails without a hitch. The loading is different from my Grizz gun in that you load from the back. The tension spring must be held back when loading so you have difficulty loading with it being held rather than set down. My Grizz spring locks back and the nails drop in through the top of the ramp.
The Hitachi is easier to unload with the nails sliding back up the ramp as you hold the spring back.
Depth is very easier to set. I use a dedicated air control as well and adjust it to the lowest optimum air pressure to save unnecessary wear and tear. A 100 PSI works well on the long nails90 PSI for the 2-1/4" nails.
The tool is fairly light and maneuverable although I could only load two sets of nails even though there was almost room for three. Another 1-1/2" longer ramp and I probably could. I picked up a drier and installed itDedicated to the nailer. I have found corrosion in other air tools from moisture in the compressed air especially in humid weather.
I've been giving it about ten drops of oil every time I use it. It isn't a production tool so my use is rarely over two hours at a time.
So far I'm pleased with the purchase although I saw it cheaper right after I bought it!

Buy Frigidaire FRA054XT7 5,000 BTU Window-Mounted Mini Room Air Conditioner Now
My parents own a home in Florida and they recently turned the walk-in attic into a fourth bedroom/guest quarters. Seemed like a fabulous idea until you are the one sleeping up there, in the HEAT! Since I have been spending so much time in the new bedroom, I knew I had to do something........ buy a window AC!!! I didn't want to spend a lot of money since it's not my permanent residence, so this AC was perfect. I wasn't expecting any miracles since it's a small unit attempting to cool a large open space, but I was more than pleasantly surprised. The converted bedroom turns comfortably cool shortly after turning on the AC and it's sooooo quiet. So long sleepless nights!Read Best Reviews of Frigidaire FRA054XT7 5,000 BTU Window-Mounted Mini Room Air Conditioner Here
Very quiet. I can easily sleep with this in a window about 4 feet from the bed. Cools a room with 9' ceilings and a skylight very quickly.Want Frigidaire FRA054XT7 5,000 BTU Window-Mounted Mini Room Air Conditioner Discount?
I am very satisfied with this a/c. It is light, cools well, easy to install, and quiet. I would recommend it to anyone in need of an a/c for a small room. One thing, though, the filter comes out on the right side, so your installation must be on the left of the window to accommodate this.I have purchased quite a few window air conditioners, but the FRA054XT7 turned out to be exactly what I have been looking for. Even though it's a small unit, it still does a great job of cooling the room. It has easy-to-use electronic controls, a remote, and it's very quiet. Not to mention that it was really easy to install! I'd have to say that this is the best unit I've had yet and for a great price.Thursday, March 6, 2014
Ingersoll-Rand P244-610 1/2'' Female NPT Regulator NEW
- 1 Piece
Since my smaller compressor is used little in the garage on my home, and is a 60 gallon vertical unit, I decided a single station at the tank outlet was sufficient. I also decided a large coalescing filter wasn't needed, like the large expensive one I have on my 7.5 HP Emax, but filtered air is always a must. The P244-610 was just made to order for my use on this 3 HP compressor almost!
The ratings for airflow and PSI requirements, easy pressure adjustments, and filtering were also just what I needed and wanted. The easy read color coded gauge, and the nice metal filter with its sight glass, were all icing on the cake. The 175 PSI rating was also a plus over other filter regulators. But, the modular design is even better.
The color coded gauge is also adjustable, under the gauge cover, for quick pressure viewing. I keep the colors adjusted on mine for easy reading with no more than a quick glance to note 60 or 90 PSI as the numbers and divisions on the gauge are small.
Note: The part number you will receive is P39344-610. The gauge is mounted into the modular housing by two screws, and is not the older 1/4" NPT screw-in gauge model. This is the IR ARO 2000 modular series of gauges.
The P244-610 comes set up with its air input to the left of the gauge and the output on the right. That works out fine if you have your tank outlet fitting on the right of your tank, but mine are on the left of my air reciever setup which would have the gauge facing the rear of my compressor. Thanks to the modular design, that's no problem. I simple unscrewed the face of the gauge, removed two Phillips head screws, and removed the gauge. I also removed the cover plate on the opposite side. Keeping the two rubber air seals in place, I then reversed the position of the plate and gauge, and re-assembled the regulator. The regulator housing is also made so the filter can be replaced 180 degrees opposite of the factory configuration. This gave me the inlet on the side I needed, kept my gauge facing forward, and put the bowl sight tube toward the front. All you lose from the frontal view are the painted ARO emblem, and the "lock" and "un-lock filter emblems, on the housing. The filter regulator performs just as well in either configuration and mine looks great! It wouldn't have been so great with the gauge and sight glass facing the rear of my compressor, but Ingersoll Rand has covered that problem with the well thought out modular design.
The bowl bleed works easily with a light touch from the front and seals instantly when released, and the metal bowl is easily removed and replaced with the pressure cut off to the P244-610 and relieved from the bowl. The bowl locks in place while pressurized.
My entire change to the unit, and installing it to my compressor with thread tape, took only a few minutes and I didn't have a single leak!
Since I use a 3/8 industrial quick connect to a single rubber hose on this compressor, it now looks much neater using the compact design of the P244-610. A gate valve cuts the pressure off to the filter regulator, and the whole assembly is close to the side of the tank and easily accessible. This also makes for a sturdy mounting of the sturdy P244-610 unit. I was previously using a very bulky DevilBiss filter regulator that stuck out much further from the side of my tank. The Ingersoll Rand P244-610 makes the DevilBiss look like a very bulky and weak antique by comparison. It's also much easier and faster to service than the DevilBiss. I expect this new P244-610 will last a long time just like my other Ingersoll Rand ARO regulators and filters.
Rated for a maximum 175 PSI connection with a maximum setting of 140 PSI air regulation, this is a very flexible unit that can be used in numerous air pressure line configurations. The compact size is roughly 3-inches x 11-inches.

Only had it for a week so far it has worked without any issues. It did Have a little hiss at the bowl but I just re-greased the seal and it stopped. I would recommend if you need one with range if offers.
