WL212000SJ Campbell Hausfeld Air Compressor Pump / Motor Kit

WL212000SJ Campbell Hausfeld Air Compressor Pump / Motor Kitoverall quality of the pump seems good. my biggest and only issue is the center section near the fan. the original body was longer. this is where the strap mounts over the pump to hold it to the base plate/ tank. the new pumps center is much smaller and when you put the stap on it hits the plastic fan shroud. i modified my strap mount to make this work. once every thing was bolted down it fired right up and built pressure nice and fast. only other issue is the air intake/ cylinder head is missing a plate where the muffler installed on my old pump. not a huge deal

Fit my compressor with no problem, and it works great. All the small parts the i needed. Would buy for this vendor again.

Neiko Heavy Duty 1.3 mm HVLP Air Spray Gun with Gauge

Neiko Heavy Duty 1.3 mm HVLP Air Spray Gun with Gauge
  • Pro-grade air spray gun with color-coded 1.3mm nozzle
  • Comes with a heavy duty durable 600 cc aluminum paint canister
  • Built-in easy-read pressure gauge with regulator
  • Operating pressure at 40 PSI, working pressure at 10 PSI
  • 1.3 mm nozzle, aimed for urethane and color, hi-viscosity

I was in the market for a new spray gun with a 1.3 mm tip. I had a gift card for Amazon and was searching their site for paint guns. I stumbled across this one, took a chance, and I'm glad I did. I had never heard of Neiko Tools before, but this gun looked nice in the picture, so I ordered it. I was looking for a gun for under $100. The problem with most budget guns is that they all seem to be made by the same cheap Chinese factory. This one is different. The construction seems top notch, the feel is nice, and it really lays down the paint nice. I bought this strictly for clear coat. I've only used it a few times but I'm very pleased. It is also more efficient with the paint than my other hvlp guns. I put the amount that I normally would have used in my old gun into this one. When my project was done I had quite a bit left. The only gripe that I have, and it's small, is the weight. It's a little heavier than all my other guns. I could see where someones arm might get tired if they were painting something big. All in all, for the price, It's a great paint gun.

I basically bought this for spraying primer coats, but it shoots a well patterned spray that I'm sure would work for the finest of base/clear coats. Actually going to order another for backup!

It does not say who made it but the material is all sub-quality MIM or pot metal. Looks nice & breaks easily. Get a different one if you can.

I bought this based on the reviews here. First off, this gun is NOT hvlp. It took many more pounds PSI to spray than what what is stated, both in the description and in the instructions. For that amount of pressure, you are much better off with a traditional siphon sprayer. The tip is too small to spray primer, and would not spray a three part acrylic enamel, without major orange peel. A major disappointment. I returned mine.

I purchased the Neiko 1.3 mm HVLP as a stand in while I replace parts on my regular gun. The gun was not a disappointment. It performed better than I expected, I used it for both base and clear coat applications and it laid down both very well. My only complaints would be the low quality (cheap) gauge and plastic top.

I am extremely satisfied with Ingersoll Rand as a company. The problem is...if you order the wrong item, it costs way too much to return such large products and then you have to pay a restocking fee (usually 15-20%) I could have went to my local Tractor Supply and bought the same thing. Live and Learn I guess!

Porter-Cable CFBN125A 18-Gauge Brad Nailer Compressor Combo Kit

Porter-Cable CFBN125A 18-Gauge Brad Nailer Compressor Combo KitI bought this unit about a month ago, and I thought it was a bargain...!The main reason I bought it was to install wainscot (1/4" pine, tongue-in-groove boards) in a room which was 9'x25'. This tool really made the work go pretty fast. To put up the wainscot, it's preferable to nail it through the tongue; what can happen is that the nail (or your hammer!) splits the tongue and therefore makes the installation go slow. To avoid splitting, the wainscot mfgr. recommends predrilling the nail holes! Talk about slow installation! The porter cable nailer allowed me to put the nails in without much splitting of tongues, and it also put the nail in without requiring a nail set to get the nail even or below the surface of the wood.

The compressor plugs into a regular 110v AC outlet, and only runs when it needs to refill its air tank. I found that I could shoot 20-25 1" brads before the compressor would kick on and run for about 1 minute. The compressor is not quiet, but it isn't that loud either. The unit is easily carried from place to place (approx. 40 lbs) and doesn't take much space at the job site.

I've always wanted one of these, and I can see using it for a variety of around the home build-it jobs. One more thing, I bought nails for the nailer at Loew's, and they were

Ramsond CUT 50DY 50 Amp Digital Inverter Portable Air Plasma Cutter Dual Voltage

Ramsond CUT 50DY 50 Amp Digital Inverter Portable Air Plasma Cutter Dual Voltage
  • Automatic Dual Voltage/Dual Frequency (110/220v 50/60Hz)
  • Integrated Digital Display of Current (Amps) and Pressure Gauge
  • Integrated Pressure Gauge Display
  • 60% Duty Cycle
  • Max Severance Thickness: 1-InchMax Cut thickness: 3/4-Inch

Ordered from Amazon on Monday and received on Friday. Four days from Michigan to Missouri is fast shipping.

This machine was packaged well enough to be air dropped if necessary. The outside box was lined with Styrofoam. The inside box was lined with about 1" thick foam that was made to fit the cutter.

It came with everything except an electrical plug which makes sense because it will work on 110 or 220 so there is no way for them to know what type plug to send. I wired mine for 220.

The first thing I cut was some 1/8 " steel. It zipped right through that. I then tried some ¼" with no problem. The next thing I cut was ½" steel. I got through it but I had to take it easy. I didn't have anything thicker but with my lack of skill I'm not sure I would tackle anything thicker than the ½".

I also tried some very thin steel and it did a great job with a low amp setting. 1/8" and ¼" aluminum cut with no problem.

I don't have a steady hand so most of my cuts looked pretty rough but the machine cuts so fast with no resistance it was hard to get a straight cut. Anyone who has used a cutting torch will know what I mean.

I still don't know how they can produce this much cutting power in a 25 pound machine but they did. I am impressed with the machines quality and performance

I was a little apprehensive to purchase this plasma cutter because of the price, but I'm so glad I did. Ordered on Monday and got it Thursday. Right out of the box (after attaching the air filter and adding a 115v plug to the cord) I was cutting 18 ga. floor panels for my 54 Ford Victoria. I was impressed! I learned to use a piece of angle iron to cut straight edges. I later cut 1/4 inch angle iron like a hot knife trough butter. For those whom rebuild cars, I highly recomend this cutter. Can't find better for the money.

Recieved in a timely manner. Works great with 110. Great for small jobs. Great product for the price. Cutting panels for patchwork for old cars. Play with the air pressure, and voltage to your satisfaction.

Is this thing as good as the expensive Millers, Hypertherms etc the short answer is no it is not. But for what it costs and how it performs it is worth every penny for the home hobbiest. It produces a clean cut through the 1/4" steel I routinely cut. No experience cutting much thicker then 1/4" but at the settings I am at for 1/4" it just may do 1/2" just fine. I should note that I have it wired 240 volt.

The regulator is cheap but works, I may replace it with a better one in the future though.

The torch head is also cheap and will not hold up to abuse. I have not done long cuts but the cutting I have done the handle has not even become warm so I have no worries of it's ability.

So in short it is a inexpensive hobby type plasma cutter that works as it claims. It is not a plasma cutter to use in a high demand work shop.

I was in the market for an affordable plasma cutter. i searched online and found a CUT50DY plasma cutter from Ramsond corporation for around $500 with free shipping. I had never heard of the brand, but I had seen good reviews of the cutter so I figured I'd give it a try. Upon receiving the plasma cutter (which was packaged very well in full styrofoam), I wired an outlet in my shop for 220 volts to run the machine. I was curious to see if the machine performed as stated, so I hooked up my air line, plugged in the machine and found a piece of nearly 1 inch thick solid square tubing. I was VERY impressed at how it cut through the steel. I operate a small farm on the side of my normal job (law enforcement), and the day after I received the cutter, while planting corn with my planter, I broke a large bolt and welding on the planter. I brought the planter over to my shop and used the plasma cutter to remove the old bolt and also had to cut at least 1/2 inch thick steel tubing and again, the cutter performed beyond my expectations to fix my planter. I would definitely recommend the plasma cutter so far. I can not attest to the long term durability of the cutter but it definitely exceeds my expectations of a lower priced plasma cutter.
