Homax 4630 New Pneumatic II Spray Texture Gun with Hopper

Homax 4630 New Pneumatic II Spray Texture Gun with Hopper
  • Sprays a variety of patterns and texture materials
  • Includes hopper
  • Air compressor (3/4 hp or larger) and HVLP compatible (80 cfm or larger)
  • Capable of texturing an entire house, yet is also ideal for smaller remodels and small patch and repair tasks
  • Lightweight

This simple little texture gun performed great for me to apply the orange peel texture I was hoping for. With the nozzle angled slightly upward, it applied texture to the ceilings as easy as it did to the walls. Plus I purchased the powdered sack of texture and mixed my own so the cost was kept to a minimum. I set my air compressor to approximately 40 lbs of pressure and never had a problem with the gun plugging up. Cleanup was a snap. Definetely a handy home improvement tool.

Good small area texture gun. Purchased it for my brother he likes the adjustability for texture pattern. Fist one I recived was broken, returned it and promptly was sent a replacement.

I am very surprised at what this could do. Repair jobs do not usually work out well for me, but this little machine was well worth the money. I was replacing wood shingles on the roof, when I put my foot through the slats and took out the ceiling below. I had to repair about 30 square feet, then replace the popcorn ceiling. I tried the small cans and they would have become very expensive for the area I needed to fix and they did not do a good job. So, I took a flyer on this and it worked fine. $37 for the machine and $13 for the texture what a deal.

I was very pleasantly surprised.

I've had 2 of these and the best thing about this gun is the small capable hopper. Other than that the gun broke apart after about 5 days of use. The plastic just doesn't have the strength to hold the weight of the mud for a long service life. If you need to retexture a house or a couple of rooms it's great. But expect to be needing a new one after that.

No chance it would do an entire house. In fact mine crapped out after 3 uses. Spend an extra $20 and get something decent.

Campbell Mfg BTG-100 Test Gauge - 3/4'' Brass Female Hose - Thread Swivel

Campbell Mfg BTG-100 Test Gauge - 3/4'' Brass Female Hose - Thread Swivel
  • Campbell #BTG-100 100 PSI Water Pressure Gauge
  • CAMPBELL MFG LLC

Do not purchase this gauge. I used it one time and it gave a reading of 60 psi. When i disconnected it, it did not return to zero but stuck on 20 PSI. Back on, read 60psi, back off, filled full of water (its not sealed)and reads 20 psi. Purchased a NOSHOK oil filled gauge and it works great and is sealed (46 psi..yeah)

This device, for $11, allowed me to check my house's City of Detroit water pressure. I was hearing a little water hammer noise, & was told my pressure should be set to about 60psi. With this gauge I found out it was at 82psi, so I throttled it down. A handy gadget; a good investment.

I purchased this gauge to monitor water pressure at the outside connection for my RV. Be warned it's not water proof and I now have some water inside the gauge which is from rain. The gauge still works but I suspect that the water inside will cause failure in the near future. I suspect that if this gauge was used in a weather protected location it would work just fine. I suspect that within a year I will be looking for a replacement and will take care to find something that is in fact water proof.

Bought this gauge because my household water pressure was too low but not sure how low. The Campbell gauge worked perfectly. Screws directly onto hose bibb for instant a reading. Easy.

I am very happy with this Campbell Water Pressure Gauge. I wanted a reasonably accurate water pressure gauge at a low price and this one fits my needs completely.

DEWALT D512005 No-Mar Pad 15-Gauge/16-Gauge Finish Nailers

DEWALT D512005 No-Mar Pad 15-Gauge/16-Gauge Finish Nailers
  • Service parts kits provide quick and easy on-site service
  • Includes No-mar pad
  • For use with all DeWalt 15-Gauge/16-Gauge Finish Nailers.

This did not fit my nailer right. I had to grind down the center of the mar guard so the nailer mechanism would not hang up. Though the No-Mar Pad does prevent mars, it slips around to much for my liking.

I have been through a handful of these. They are quite a needed item when working with any soft materials as the standard tip on the gun will leave marks. They are just not very tough. I have had some fail quickly and other last a couple of months. The worst part is that if it breaks and you do not realize it, it REALLY marks up your work piece.

Light weight, easy to coil and un-coil, hose is very flexible. I am surprised that it has the air supply to drive my many tools that require large amounts of air, being a 100 foot long and only 1/4" in diameter.

SPRAYIT SP-33000 LVLP Gravity Feed Spray Gun

SPRAYIT SP-33000 LVLP Gravity Feed Spray Gun
  • One-piece lightweight aluminum gun body with 20 oz./0.6 l plastic cup .
  • Separate and Adjustable fluid , fan pattern and air controls for precise application
  • Air consumption 3.5 to 3.9 CFM @ 30 PSI
  • Working pressure 28-45 PSI. Maximum pressure 60 PSI
  • Fan Pattern: 7.0'' to 10.9''

This gun shot pretty good but still consumed more air than it should have. The reason I bought a LVLP spray gun was that my compressor will only output about 7 SCFM and my HVLP guns needed more volume to function properly. I had to stop frequetly to let the compressor catch up while spraying with this gun. All that aside, it is a good gun for the money. Guess I am going to have to bite the bullet and purchase a larger compressor. I was just hoping this would be the answer to my compressor issue. I don't paint very often but have three project cars that I am working on now that will all require a full spray. If you have a compressor that will handle the air consumption, this is a good gun for a great value.

I am able to adjust down to very little volume of material being sprayed. Construction quality looks good. I have only used it once, but it worked fine.

I used this gun the day after I received it, it worked every bit as well as the $500.00 Iwata that I use at work. I cannot speak to the CFM usage as my compressor would support any gun I use, but I can speak of the difference in the overspray between an lvlp and an hvlp. For my garage work, this is a great gun.
