Speedway 6909 8-Gallon Air Compressor with 77 Piece Kit
- 15.5 A, 1.5HP, 3360 RPM, 8 gallon tank capacity
- 5 CFM @ 90 PSI, 6 CFM @ 40 PSI
- 115 PSI Maximum
- High-efficiency, cold-start twin capacitor induction motor with thermal overload protection
- Ultra-quiet 93-95 dB operation
The unit was not adequately boxed given its weight. This resulted in the tank pressure gauge being damaged. An email request for a warranty replacement took two tries but was then provided quickly.
A small amount of assembly wheels, feet, handle is required. Very visible warnings to be sure to add the oil before using. The breakin procedure is clearly described.
It is noisier than I expected. All fittings were tight pressure held.
The supplied tools, while not professional grade, seem adequate for occasional home shop use. The included air tools are a brad nailer, a die grinder with a variety of stones plus cut off wheels and a ratchet with a set of sockets. There were also an air nozzle, tire chuck and a typical assortment of fittings. The hand tools inch and metric nut drivers are junk.
All in all I found the package a worthwhile value and the warranty response was good.

I went through the recommended break-in procedure, then charged the compressor up fully. The compressor charged quickly, but within 1 hour lost all pressure with nothing connected. The driver sets sent with the compressor are very poor quality. Used the air ratchet once, below recommended pressure setting, and it also sprang a leak.I returned the item for a full refund.

Dam good product. This is a great and handy little compressor. Not to loud... Shipped in a reasonable time... Many little handy stuff I haven't even used yet...I only wish it had came with an impact gun then it would have been perfect.
Everything appears to be well made.

Buy New Air Pressure Regulator 1/4" w/ Free Gauge Now
This air regulator is one of the best that I've seen and used.The construction is machined aluminum/heavy plastic, and the supplied guage is of a high quality, graduated in p.s.i. and bar. That being said, here's what sets it apart from the rest: you connect it to your air source and turn the knob to get your desired air pressure. If you turned too far, then you turn the knob 1/4 turn back and the air pressure backs off. You don't have to back it off 10 turns to release the pressure then try again. It is very easy and quick to set the pressure you want, and once the pressure it set, it stays there.
After dealing with what seems to be a sea of junk air regulators, I'd give this one 6 stars if I could. I highly recommend it.

Just installed this regulator on my portable compressor and it does seem to have reliable ajustment to it. The guage that came with it was made in china but the regulator was made here at least. I would recomend this to anyone that needs a quality regulator for there compressor.Want New Air Pressure Regulator 1/4" w/ Free Gauge Discount?
I am posting this review in hopes that somebody will comment on it and tell me what's wrong.I honestly don't know if I am doing is something wrong or if this is a bad product. I think it's my fault.I've done extensive research on the web to find the source of this problem.My Campbell Hausfield air compressor had a slow leak in it last summer. I used soapy water after unplugging it to try to find leaks. I found one but it continued to leak after I used teflon tape on that fitting.
I figured that i had a slow leak that I could not see in my old regulator. I replaced it with this one. First thing I noticed was that the knob comes off too easily. I'll fix that with some glue when i get around to it. The next thing I noticed was when I tried to cut the pressure back in my line air escapes forcefully out of this regulator. If I allow this to happen my compressor wil be coming on and off a lot more than I like. NO AIR ESCAPES when I have it fully open.My old one did not do that. I still think I have done something wrong so I refuse to downgrade this regulator. When i find out either way I will update this review and grade it accordingly.
I did really like the price of this unit and the fact that it came with an extra gauge. It looks to be of good quality material. That's another reason I think the fault is me.
Did I eventually find my leak??? No...I did not..Even with extensive use of soapy water. My compressor also has a habit of throwing a breaker when it comes on. I'm thinking the valve in the fitting that is between the compressor motor and the tank is bad. It's also possible that the air is leaking back in the motor itself. This compressor is only 8 years old and it is not in frequent use. If the leak is in the motor I'll probably sell this unit as a parts only compressor. I'm tired of dealing with it. OH...shutting this regulator completely off does not help. It's still leaking back in the unit itself.
As I said at the start I will really appreciate helpful comments on this problem.The regulator works perfectly for my old compressor. It is very easy and quick to set the pressure you want, and once the pressure it set, it stays there.

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
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.Read Best Reviews of Stanley Bostitch CAP2000P-OF 6-Gallon 2.0 Peak HP Oil-Free Compressor Here
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.Want Stanley Bostitch CAP2000P-OF 6-Gallon 2.0 Peak HP Oil-Free Compressor Discount?
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!!
