Aqua Pro Aqua Pro Standard Regulator, Boxed

Aqua Pro Aqua Pro Standard Regulator, BoxedThis is a sturdy coupling that solved a intake leaking problem with my camper as well as regulating the pressure to the sink to a standard psi

High quality product. Works as advertised. Bought to use in our 2013 Winnebago Vista. Machining of regulator is very good. It does not look like a cheap add on.

Campbell Hausfeld RP071000AV 12-Volt Safety Inflator

Campbell Hausfeld RP071000AV 12-Volt Safety Inflator
  • Compact design for storage in car
  • Easily plugs into 12-Volt outlet
  • Built-in flashlight for safety
  • Keep your car tires inflate properly
  • Includes accessories

I used this pump to fill my low SUV tire. I left it on for about ten minutes because it is slow and VERY noisy. It did the job but then my car wouldn't start. My battery was out for a while. The box that this product comes in is too snug so you can't store it properly and neatly. I guess for the price it's ok, just be careful not to let it run for too long. I learned the hard way. Also, the quality of the product isn't sturdy because half of plug tip just came apart after the third use.

The reason I bought this is that I want to have an inflator on board for emergencies. The other day while on a trip I had to change a tire and put the donut on. The way this thing is mounted underneath my car does not allow to check/adjust the pressure w/o taking it down. As a consequence the pressure was way too low when I actually needed it. Luckily there was a gas station less than 2 miles away so I could bring up the pressure in the donut. Had it been a longer distance I might have needed a replacement for the donut in order to be able to get home. Anyway, now you know why I was looking for this device. I have no experience with any other inflator but this is what I think after having received it and used it once to adjust the pressure on both our cars. The light is not very bright and can only be used without the compressor running at the same time. This should be ok as you only need it to make the connection. It will not help you to read the pressure gauge in the dark anyway due to its position compared to the gauge. I was amazed how fast it brought up the pressure by 4psi on my Honda Pilot. The issue I have with this inflator is that the valve connector almost gets stuck to the valve stem and needs to be ripped off. I can imagine that this could create a problem in the long run to both your valve and the connector on the inflator. So, I will not use it on a regular basis but carry it with me in my car for an emergency which it appears to be perfect for especially when you consider the price.

Filter-Regulator-Lubricator - Piggyback Style

Filter-Regulator-Lubricator - Piggyback Style
  • Sold Individually

The first one I received leaked air on the filter side. Try to wiggle, reset, re-lock it, no go. I had to send it back on my own dime, which I did not care for. Received a new one in a few days, but had to wait on the seller to get the defective one back. So this was a pain to deal with. Hooked the second one up and it did not leak. After a week of normal use the oil side started leaking air and oil. Now I have to send it back again, a second time. I'll be getting a refund. I'm dissappointed the seller was unwilling to pay for shipping. I'm out nearly $20.00 on this deal. What a loss. I would avoid I.R. and this seller.

Works well, looks good. Bowls are an easily detachable 1/4 turn lock style and don't leak air.

These are a stackable type design; by that I mean the oiler and the regulator/filter are individual units joined together by the aluminum rack mounting piece in the middle and an o-ring between them. Each end of each unit is also threaded, AND has a seat for the oring and tabs for rack mount coupler. You can separate them and use fittings between if you like, or put the oiler on the left. You could also add additional filters of the same form factor from IR by getting more of the little silver couplings between.

I like it and I trust the brand name, but its new and I can't comment on durability. Replacement filters are a few dollars-I checked.

ROLAIR 1.5 HP, 2.9 CFM@100

ROLAIR 1.5 HP, 2.9 CFM@100I chose this model over other equivalent models like the Rolair JC10 (lower output), Rolair 3.6 CFM model (a little too loud), the Craftsman (leaky), Senco (I read they are financially in trouble), Dewalt or Porter Cable (not efficient enough), or the Makita MAC700 (too heavy). This model has the right balance between noise, output, and weight. I have confirmed this after using the unit for about 3 months now. Let me go to the weakness of this unit.

First, it was advertised as "new" model. Well, I don't know about that because the unit I received was manufactured in 2008 so it does not have the gauges pointing up just like the newer and more popular Rolair 3.6 CFM model.

Second, is the packing. With such a heavy unit, it came in singled boxed without padding. As a result, the oil cover cracked and oil spilled all over the box. On the bright side though, I brought this up to the attention of the seller (Acme Tools) and they shipped a replacement oil cover quickly. Excellent service by Brian of Acme Tools! One downside is I ended up buying compressor oil at nearby Sears. This is still better than shipping the whole unit back. There was also a small crack at the motor cover plastic but it is small enough (about 1 inch) and is only a cosmetic flaw. Packing could have been better.

Overall, this is a very good unit. Quiet and efficient. I urge anyone to seriously consider this unit if you are looking for around the same output. Just make sure to request for double packing to avoid the same hassle I experienced.

Air Blow Gun Kit with 5 Interchangeable Nozzles

Air Blow Gun Kit with 5 Interchangeable Nozzles
  • The classic air blow gun - essential equipment for every professional and DIY workshop; 1/4" NPT
  • Blow gun with over-sized thumb trigger, PVC-coated for comfort & firm grip; convenient hang-hook
  • Includes 5 nozzles; soft rubber tip, metal tip, inflating needle, 3"-narrow & 4"-large tubes
  • Interchangeable tips increase versatility from one gun; easy-to-handle for close-in or hard-to-reach
  • Heavy-gauge steel construction for long service-life; chrome-plated for corrosion resistance

Got what the picture shows but the gun had NO threads to screw in the attachments...useless. No response from the company to my e-mail to fix the problem. Because it was such a cheap item to begin with I won't pursue the matter BUT I will remember the company and not purchase their products in the future.

Hi All.

This item is very poorly made. As soon as I took this air-gun out of the package, the trigger on it bent. I was able to straighten it back out, but I doubt very much this item will hold up for very long, or for very little use.

A Small usuage kit ideally used for small applications. Well made and should last user many years with proper care.

The attachments on this blower are great. I like the long nozzle for cleaning out my Computers, the computers I work on and any of my old dusty electronics. I've had no issues with this item or it's durability, but I use it in a very light duty environment and not at some hard working construction site or machine shop.

I would buy this again and use it about once a week to fend off dust!

The only thing I was a little disappointed with is the smallest (thinnest) attachment is not a needle nose. But I looked at the description again and it doesn't say needle nose so I give it 5 stars. The attachments are very well made. The smallest attachment does fit (very tightly) into my soccer and basketball though. Good product.

Grip-Rite GRTMP16 Mini Palm Nailer

Grip-Rite GRTMP16 Mini Palm Nailer
  • Shoots up to a 16d nail
  • Powerful compact design
  • Lightweight at only 1 lb
  • 70 Percent lighter and smaller than similar palm-sized air nailers
  • Magnetic nose

Grip-Rite GRTMP16 Mini Air Nailer

I've just finished building a deck, using this mini-nailer to attach several dozen joist hangers and hurricane straps.

Pros:

As you can see from the Customer Images, this mini [palm] nailer is so small, it can fit into places a full-sized palm-nailer wouldn't. On this specific deck, there were two situations where only a mini nailer would fit, so I'm glad this tool was available. Size is this tool's advantage over a full-sized palm nailer.

This tool is very light. Although Grip-Rite doesn't call it a "palm-nailer", the design is a copy of its larger cousins. It's so tiny, "finger-tip" nailer seems about right.

Cons:

The Grip-Rite is far less powerful than a full-sized palm nailer, which isn't surprising. Small hammers aren't as powerful as large hammers.

As a test, I used it to drive a dozen 14 penny nails (3 5/6" long; .015" diameter), into a 3.5" thick beam of Laminated Veneered Lumber. LVL is one of the denser construction-grade wood products on the market. The Grip-Rite took at least 2 full seconds to drive each 14d nail, and took up to 5 seconds for many nails; even then, most nail-heads were not flush. 5 seconds is an eternity for a palm nailer. As a comparison, my Bostitch PN100 (a full-sized palm nailer) took 1/3 second to drive each and every nail flush; faster than you can say "amazing".

For [short] 10d joist hanger nails into southern pine, the mini-nailer is OK, although it's noticeably slower in hard wood than a full-sized palm-nailer, which sinks those short nails in an instant.

My Grip-Rite nailer leaked from the get-to between the two tool halves; and the factory Allen screws were tight. Not much air escapes, but enough so that a small air compressor comes on every 5 minutes when not using the tool. The "warranty" doesn't even cover seals, so if you buy one of these, check for air leaks immediately, before using it. Your best recourse with a leaking tool is to return it promptly for a refund. Of the dozen air tools in my shop, it's annoying that this is the only one that leaks. (I also removed the screws and the seal looked fine and was properly installed.)

Other:

As with any palm nailer, use hearing protection EVERY time you use it, even if driving a single nail. These tools are incredibly loud; even more so in confined spaces.

Summary:

If you don't own a palm nailer, my advice is to buy one of the full-sized models. Full sized palm nailers won't fit into super-small spaces, but they can drive a huge variety of nails into any wood in well under a second. This Grip-Rite is much more limited in its range of applications, and is simply unacceptable for large nails in hard wood.

However, if you already own a full-sized nailer, if you're a builder, or you are a tool nut like me; and you do so many projects that you'll likely face cramped spaces, mini-palm nailers like the Grip-Rite and Senco PC1195 are the smallest palm nailers on the market.

Very handy, won't replace your nail gun but will drive nails where you can't use a hammer, screw gun, or nail gun. Only short coming was toe nailing, but it more than makes up for that with what it does well. I used it to put up 3/8" soffit under eaves. Looped Mini Air nailer air hose over ladder with nail in it. Positioned soffit, held soffit with one hand and used nailer with other. You can reach out while holding on to ladder and drive nails one handed, so much lighter than nail gun. Worked very well driving nails next to fascia. If I wear it out I will replace it.

I own a Ridgid full size palm nailer and bought the Grip-Rite Mini nailer because I had to work in some spaces where the full size nailer wouldn't fit. My Ridgid drives all kind of nails, big or small, quickly and surely, but the Ridgid's size is a limitation just like a regular hammer. So, enter the Grip-Rite Mini. It does work, fairly well, on big nails and gets into places the big nailer will not.

My Grip-Rite leaked air, right out of the box, requiring tightening of 3 of the 4 cap screws to get it to stop. After fixing that, it worked fine, within its limitations. Contrary to what the company material says, the Grip-Rite Mini won't drive 16d nails well, if at all. The heads on 16d bright common nails are too large to go into the nose piece (impact socket). The opening in the nose piece is just slightly smaller than the average diameter of those nail heads found in a box of Grip-Rite 16d 3 1/2" bright common nails. Since the Mini wouldn't accept and drive their own common nails, I switched to 16d 3 1/2" finish nails for the spots I needed to use the Mini nailer. The shanks are smaller on the finish nails than on the common nails and still, the Mini nailer had difficulty driving them fully.

As a side note, I also own the Senco PC1195 Mini Palm Nailer which won't accept the big nail heads on the 16d common nails either, which was why I bought the Grip Rite Mini. Senco's manual tells you that their mini nailer has a head limitation and won't accept anything larger than .339" and the Grip Rite Mini manual states a head limitation size of 5/16 or .311". (The moral to that story is that I should have gone to Grip-Rite's site and downloaded the manual, instead of only reading the sales hype before buying the nailer.)

Measuring several 16d bright common heads revealed an average head size of well over .350". Measuring the heads on a dozen 12d 3 1/8" coated sinkers gave an average of over .330", but all of them easily fit into the opening of the Grip Rite Mini nose piece, which actually measured .350" on my unit.

In short, either Mini nailer is nice to have around, to complement a full size palm nailer. If you're wanting a palm nailer that simply works well on anything you want to throw at it, my advice would be to buy a full size nailer, like the DEWALT D51180 Heavy-Duty Palm Nailer or the Bostitch PN100K Impact Nailer Kit, instead of the Mini. The difference in power and ease of use is well worth the extra money for a full sized palm nailer, in my opinion.

After seeing this tool on the Cool Tools show on tv, I bought three of them, one each for my dad and stepdad and one for my father in law for fathers day. They were amazed at the power and stability of it and all three said they would never use a hammer again unless absolutely necessary! I'm a woman and I tried it myself and it was so easy. It can get into tight spaces where hammers can't. Driving the nails is effortless and it gets the nails flush and there are no hammer marks on your wood. This definitely is a cool tool! I would recommend this to anyone.

Best palm nailer I've used, including much larger ones. It packs the same punch with a faster hit speed than my older one, and it really is small!

Rol-Air 2 Horsepower 5.3 Gallon Bull Compressor FC2002HBP6

Rol-Air 2 Horsepower 5.3 Gallon Bull Compressor FC2002HBP6
  • Heavy-Duty cast-iron cylinder
  • Splash lubrication to ensure longer pump life
  • Overload protection with manual reset
  • Mounted on dolly Cart With Wheels For Easy Maneuvering
  • Factory tested safety relief valve

I bought the HBP6 to use for my home remodel nailers, including flooring, etc.

Day 2 the unit shut down and tripped the thermal breaker and would not run after resetting.

Phone support helped me diagnose the problem as a piece of assembly debris (small chunk of paint or glue) being stuck in the check valve seat so I was able to clear it myself.

Day 3 another problem, at the same location, the plastic overpressure line exploded from the fitting because it was installed without a metal insert inside the line (only had the ferrule). Phone support said they'd ship me the parts but they didn't ship them overnight, so I had to go rent another compressor for the weekend.

I hope that after this issue is resolved I'll get good service from this unit. But be forewarned.

I try to buy tools that last a long time that's why I didn't buy a compressor from the big box stores, but I'm not sure my strategy has paid off.

I am 70 years old, and retired. All of my tools are for play, but I do like to buy the best!

I have a very large, and excellent, Quincy 2 stage upright stationary compressor, a very nice 5HP Quincy belt drive, slow speed, 20 gallon portable, an EC-12 Hitachi (getting quite heavy for me to lug around), and a very old Champion (wheelbarrow style).

This little Rol-Air is absolutely perfect for me.

I can lift it if I need to, but in most cases I can roll it instead.

Convenience is what this is all about, and in my opinion this little Rol-Air wins five stars for convenience.

I haven't used it much but so far this seems like an excellent little compressor.

It arrived in a box that had been opened and once inside noticalby repacked. I don't think it was used, however, because the compressor itelf seemed fresh, without nicks or dings.

-It already had oil in it and ready to use.

-Shipping weight is 64 lbs, but it's not nearly that heavy. I weighed it at 55 lbs and it's a fairly easy lift.

-In reality it's not much bigger than the familiar PC pancake. The added size if any comes from the handle and wheels.

-It is very convenient to wheel around, no problem with stairs, etc.

-Build construction seems very solid and durable. It is rated CONTINUOUS DUTY: Good!

-It does NOT come with connectors or a hose. Oddly, the quick connect I installed on the air outlet touches the metal tube for the pump, making me suspect a rattle issue some day, but not so far.

-The On OFF switch is not convenient at all, but is very postive up and down.

-It's somewhat quieter than my prior PC pancake, but not much.

I think this is going to be a great addition to my tools, and a definite upgrade from the PC pancake which failed after using it three times.
