The Source CLS-200 Heavy Duty Roll BAR Clamps for 2" Roll Bars for The Source High Performance Porta

The Source CLS-200 Heavy Duty Roll BAR Clamps for 2' Roll Bars for The Source High Performance Portable Air System
  • Extra Secure
  • Fits 2" Roll Bars
  • Extra Heavy Duty
  • Comes in Black
  • Fits Vehicle Mount Bracket

I like the clamps, but really wish you could still purchase the CLS-175 for 1 3/4" roll bars. The CLS-200 does fit my 1 3/4" chase rack tubing, but only because it is coated with Line-X. I don't think my tank is going anywhere with these clamps in place!

Factory-Reconditioned Stanley Bostitch U/CPACK1850BN 18-Gauge Brad Nailer and Compressor Combo Kit

Factory-Reconditioned Stanley Bostitch U/CPACK1850BN 18-Gauge Brad Nailer and Compressor Combo Kit
  • CAP2000P-OF 2.0 HP (peak) oil-free compressor
  • SB-1850BN 2-inch 18GA brad nailer
  • 1/4-inch by 25-foot PVC air hose with fittings
  • Brad nailer features adjustable depth guide, tool-free adjustable exhaust and no-mar tip, drives 18-gauge brads from 5/8-Inch to 2-Inch in length
  • Compressor offers 2.8-cfm at 90-psi with 150 max, large 6-gallon reserve tank, impact-resistant shroud protects gauges

Unlike the other reviewers, the unit I received was clearly used (but, not abused). I have shopped for a compressor to use around the house on small projects, and especially for maintaining the air pressure on my car tires. So, when I saw this unit I knew the price was right, and took a chance on it being "Factory-Reconditioned." Glad I did. For the price, it is hard to beat this compressor. ** One caution, the picture of the unit gives one the impression that there is a black rubber 50 foot hose included. Mine arrived with a 25 foot coiled yellow PVC hose. So, just be aware, because you'll need to purchase a better hose if you want to use it for any robust work. ** Otherwise, I'm pleased with the purchase, and even recommended it to a friend.

This is my first factory reconditioned power tool, but if what I've experienced so far is any indication, it will not be my last. First off the compressor and nailer arrived within the 5 days promised. I've seen some reviews of not being properly packed for shipment. While mine was not packed with bubble wrap or foam peanuts, the box was the proper size and shape to protect it during shipping. The compressor included hose, inflator, fittings, teflon tape and instructions. The nailer arrived in the plastic carry case with oil, box of brads and instruction manual. Basically everything you need to get started.

Appearance: The compressor was in great shape, it was obvious that it was not brand new with a few scratches on the tank paint and a few scuffs here and there. I'm sure the hose and accessories were brand new because they were still in factory wrapping. Some have said that their compressor included a good quality rubber hose, mine sadly did not. I got the 25' PVC hose as listed in the description. It is stiff, and does not coil really well, but will work for me until I need a new one. The nailer appeared to be brand new until I took a close look and spotted a few small scratches on the front.

Quick Test: I decided that I would turn it on and let it run with the tank drain valve open as a breaking in period for around 30 minutes while I assembled the air chuck, uncoiled the hose and installed the QD fittings. It was raining at the time so the compressor was in my garage with the door open. It is pretty loud as many have already stated, I would say it is about as loud as my circular saw, maybe just a little more. I was expecting it to be much louder from all the complaints, but it is as loud as you would expect a compressor of this size to be. If I had to work right next to it for any period I'd want to wear some ear protection. Once I closed the valve and adjusted the regulator to max, it ran for around 3 minutes then cut off. I didn't hear any leaks so I hooked up a blower nozzle I have and held the trigger wide open. After only 7 seconds the compressor kicked back on. I stopped blowing and let it build pressure. After 1 minute it cut off again. So far so good. Next I decided to top off all the car/truck tires. While adding 3-5 psi to each of 8 tires, the compressor had to run twice. I kept airing the tires while the compressor was running and it seemed to keep up. Next I tried out the nailer. I just wanted to make sure it worked so I shot around a dozen 2" brads into stacked pieces of MDF, then pine 2 by 4 and some plywood I had lying around. It drove and countersunk all the nails without any problems.

Projects and use: My first projects using the combo were out of 3/4 plywood. I think I shot around 30 2" brads and another 40 1.25" brads and never missed a beat. If I hold the nailer correctly, the brad is shot and countersunk well into the stock. I didn't need to mess with the depth set adjustment. I shot between 15 and 20 brads before the compressor had to build up pressure again. I've also used the compressor several times for blowing sawdust off power tools and general cleaning (moving dust).

Conclusion: So far I am satisfied with this combo, especially for the great price I got it for plus free shipping. I can't attest to how long it will last of course, but like I said so far so good. The condition of the tools upon arrival was excellent and they seem to be well-built sturdy tools, not cheap or lightweight at all. The original reason I wanted a compressor was just for blowing dust in the shop and airing up tires. The compressor has to run more often than I thought it would have for blowing dust, but if I lower the pressure I can find a happy medium. I guess that is a trade off for having a pancake compressor. I like that I can carry it where I need it and it takes up about the same space as a 5 gallon bucket. The nailer sure is a handy tool that I think I will use a lot if it lasts. I like the fact that the nailer will drive as small as 5/8" or large as 2" brad. Marked down for short power cord and questionable longevity.

This is a very good value, mine arrived in great shape and looked new. However, the release valve does seem to be a weak point in the design as it is plastic and was broken upon arrival. A pair of vice grips solved the problem. Overall a great value. The compressor seems to be high quality and the gun as well. I used it for a small project and both the gun and compressor performed as expected. If it wasn't for the breaking of the release valve, this would have easily gotten 5 stars.

I wanted a light compressor for small jobs and bought this combination becaue of the exellent value. I didn't need the brad nailer but gave it a try. It is far better than my old Porter Cable so I now use the Bostich. The compressor works well but it is noisier than my much larger compressor. I was using it indoors and had it sitting on a dropcloth on top of a carpet which should have muffled the sound a bit. Ear plugs are in order for even the most brief of use.

I was looking around at air compressors for a long time on Amazon. I came across this compressor after being dissappointed with how expensive the other new compressors were. I took a chance and ordered this one for nearly 50% off of a new one. I have been using this product for over 2 weeks fairly heavly.

I was extremely happy with my purchase. The product came and looked brand new. No scratches, dents or anything to lead me to believe it was pre-owned.

Pros:

Great value for price

Easy to operate

came with thread tape and 25ft heavy duty hose

brad nailer works awesome and includes brads

Fairly quiet compared to other air compressors.

No oil to mess with, just plug in and your good to go

Handle makes for easy carrying

Builds pressure quickly

Cons:

it looks like some others got a 50ft hose

-Power button is made of cheap plastic, I can see this breaking when pulling the knob to turn off.

You won't do better for the price! Such a deal and works awesome.

Craftsman Evolv 15206 Air Compressor w/ 2" Brad Nailer

Craftsman Evolv 15206 Air Compressor w/ 2' Brad Nailer
  • 3 gallon oil-free compressor
  • Brad nailer
  • 25' recoil hose

i bought this direct from sears a little over a year ago. we were starting to do some remodeling on our house and found out we needed a new pressure washer when our old one stopped working. we went to sear's to see what they had available and found out they had this set on sale. i'd been needing a pneumatic nailer for a while so we bought it (along with a new pressure washer) and i've loved it ever since. i have since purchased a finish nailer and a framing nailer and use the air compressor from this kit with both of those as well. the air compressor isn't big, but it does the job since it goes up to 100 psi. i did purchase a longer air hose since the coil-type that comes with it can get kinks in it easier than a standard air hose, but other than that this thing has been awesome.

i am by no means a professional but just a weekend (sometimes weekday) diy person. this gives me less time to get the job(s) done i need to get done and move on to something else.

as for the person who wrote the first review, the one thing i've found that others have done when they've been in your situation is that they didn't close the pressure release for the hose. you have to make sure you turn the knob on the front of the compressor all the way until you can't hear/feel air coming out of it. this will allow the air to flow into the hose and to the nailer. if you have done this, then your unit may be faulty.

Buy Craftsman Evolv 15206 Air Compressor w/ 2" Brad Nailer Now

We already had a bigger compressor but bought the Evolv about a year and half ago for the portability to use with the brad nailer. We didn't want to spend a lot of money as we only had a couple of jobs to do around the house where we could use the nailer. We had the same problem as one of the other reviewers that the nailer wouldn't always work. When it wouldn't work we'd disconnect it from the air hose and unload and load the brads, reconnect and it would work most of the time. Haven't used it for a few months and went to plug it in and the breaker/safety tripped. Pushed the reset and heard a pop like a small firecracker and it smelled like something electrical burned. We could replace the switch as it's only $5 but shipping brings it to almost $15 and not sure that it will fix the problem. Paid around $70 for it to start, so will likely just get something a little better next time instead of wasting any more $ on the Evolv.

Bought this direct from Sears. Operating instructions not detailed enough for rookies like me. I followed the instructions as best as possible (oiled before using, psi to correct number, loaded brads, etc.) When I was ready to test on scrap lumber, zilch. Pulled the trigger and got nothing, not a sound. Of course, it was a Sunday when I wanted to use it, but the Sears help line is open M-F. So right now I am stuck in the middle of a project. If I find out I did something wrong, I will change my rating, but until they can tell me how to get this thing to work.... If anyone out there can help, I would appreciate it.

1/8" NPT(M) Tank Valve

1/8' NPT(M) Tank Valve
  • Campbell Hausfeld #MP3229 Carry Tank Valve
  • CAMPBELL HAUSFELD

When you go with a brand name like Campbell Hausfeld, you get a good product. This is a solid tank valve that can tell the first time you touch it that it will last a lifetime. I pushed it to the limits and it held up great, I can't speak so positively about my tank. Solid construction and tight threading.

There isn't much of a price difference in valves when buying small quantities. So there's no reason to go with another brand.

Hyundai HPC3010 3-Gallon Air Compressor Kit

Hyundai HPC3010 3-Gallon Air Compressor Kit
  • Compact design allows for maximum portability
  • Oil free compressor pump delivers high performance and no maintenance
  • Lightweight 3-gallon tank with oversized easy to read gauges
  • Compatible with all tools and accessory brands
  • 7-Piece air fitting kit and 25-foot recoil hose included

After following the break in period instructions, I was ready for business. When I started it up for use, everytime the pressure reached 40lbs, the release valve popped and the pressure dropped. I unplugged it, examined the release vlave and noticed that the ring on the valve was jammed and not allowing the valve to completely close. So I unjammed it and the pressure went up without issue in about 10 minutes. The other problem was with the operating instruction. It tells you to turn the knob counter-clockwise when staring up. It doesn't tell you that once the presuure is up you need to turn the right knob clockwise in order to power you're equipment. I bought it to power an upholstery stapler and it worked great! Can't wait to get more attachments!

This was a good inital buy for a first time air compressor buyer. I wanted something better than a plug in pump for bike tires but did not want to break the bank or buy a refurbushed one. This compressor takes about 4 minutes to reach 90psi (max) and automatically shuts off. This is good. The only bad thing is that it comes with no real usable tools (ie tire chuck) and gives pretty bad instructions. The good, it was $100 for an air compressor that I use a lot. The time it takes to fill does not bother me. I am pretty happy with it and after buying a tire chuck I am very happy. Pretty loud while compressing, but a good little compressor. My suggestion is buying the craftsman compressor, you will engjoy a better one!

I bought this for my husband mostly for bike tires and to pump up balls. We had to buy all new attachments because this doesn't come with those. We only used it about 5 or 6 times over the period of a year and the last time my husband went to turn it on nothing happened. Pretty frustrating because it was right when the warranty was up.

I ordered this compressor for light duty around the house/garage. The first time I went to use it, it seemed to work well enough to add a bit of air to my riding lawnmower's slighty-delfated tired. After that, I figured I'd top off the rest of the tires and then move on to checking our car's tires. Sadly, the compressor stopped working at this point. The pressure emptied when I tried to use it and it didn't turn back on to refill itself. I tried powering it off and back on, unplugging it and plugging it back in, and manually depressurizing it. The motor only slight flickered on once briefly hen I was moving it aroudn while examinging it.

I had followed the instructions (including the "break-in" time) but still I went back and dboule-checked to see if I was just missing something. I found no solutions.

The good news is that Amazon was amazing at handling the return. I submitted my request, stuffed it all back in the box, and the UPS driver came the next day and took care of the rest. I've decided to just buy one of these on sale locally.

Looks nice and pumps air but quite, NO! You need ear protection if using in a garage or you'll have hearing loss real soon.

California Air Tools CAT-4620A Ultra Quiet and Oil-Free 2.0 Hp 4.6-Gallon Aluminum Twin Tank Air Com

California Air Tools CAT-4620A Ultra Quiet and Oil-Free 2.0 Hp 4.6-Gallon Aluminum Twin Tank Air Compressor
  • Ultra Quiet only 70 Decibels
  • Oil-Free Pump for Less Maintenance & Costs
  • 4.6 Gallon (Rust Free) Aluminum Tank
  • Lightweight for easy transporting - 64 lbs
  • Powerful 2.0 HP(Rated / Running) Motor

Since Thomas stopped making air compressors I have been looking for something as good. I'm a trim carpenter and use it every day, i've had it for 3 months now and it still works great. The air filters could use a redesign but other than that it is great. At first it cuts off until it breaks in, so the first couple of days are a little frustrating. It's not everyday you can get an air compressor that can be used with 300ft of 12gauge cord while using 3 miter saws and a table saw. Highly recommend.

Updated:

The log which the regulator and fittings are connected to is made out of a really cheap pot metal. If you have to replace female air fittings be careful not to tighten it like you should. It will break! At least there is another location on the side of the log to put the fitting and the port plug will still seal the broken port with the help of a little sealant. Also the pressure cut off switch has decided to stop working now. Time to contact California Air for a replacement of both.

California Air really needs to reconsider the parts they are using on this. For the price they are asking I would think the could use something better than pot metal for a part that you will eventually need to be replacing things into and a pressure switch that appears to be missing a hose.

Used this for my plasma cutting setup for a project that I just completed. Has sufficient airflow for use in this task, and is much more quiet than my red pancake HDepot standard model that I've had forever.

As others have noted, packaging and shipping are hit and miss. The plastic cover to the control box was cracked upon opening due to the heavy thing shifting around in the box during shipping, but nothing else was bent or broken.

Works well, can run 2 hoses, controls are tight and precise. The starter switch/wire is a little weird and not really crisp when moving to the on/off position, but it seems to be fine.

The sheet metal that hold the gauges is a little thin. May not hold up to direct abuse, but seems again, to be ok.

The purge valve on the bottom works easily and well. Not much water has been coming out, but it is winter and humidity has been low.

So this is as quite as they claim it to be. I'm really impressed with mine but I've only had it for about 12 hours. I bought this because of how little noise it makes and because of how powerful it is. My intentions were to use this in my house to do upholstery work and then to take it out into my garage to run my new plasma cutter off of it. I knew this would be a home run for the upholstery work if it was as quite as they claimed it to be. And as I said it is! No worries about a loud work space with this compressor. Here is where I was truly impressed. When I hooked this up to my plasma cutter and it didn't miss a beat. My plasma cutter manufacture recommends 5cfm @ 90psi with a 20gal tank. This compressor is strong enough to not require the 20 gal tank for normal use. I plan on heading into my garage and really putting it to the test tomorrow. If it falls short I'll update this review. If you don't hear from me buy it!!! I contacted the manufacture after I ordered mine through Amazon and got the updated ball valve on the bottom of the tank. that makes it easy as hell to drain the tank (this should be done every time you're done using it).

  • Easy-to-read, conveniently placed gauges allow for easy monitoring of air pressure
  • Sturdy handle allows for easy portability and easy storage
  • High-quality one-piece manifold to protect user from hot and moving parts

I believe most refurbished items have been returned by a buy... generally without anything wrong with it and so sold as refurbished. You might think that means the item had something wrong with it and now that problem has been corrected. You might even think you are getting something that has "all the bugs worked out of it" and brand new. The brand new part may be right but I think this company Campbell-Hausfeld doesn't give a care about their products. I had to return a refurb as it was DOA... no air pressure and louder than my giant garage compressor. Then I went to a pancake compressor (new... same company)... instructions say "break in with regulator valve turned clockwise all the way" for 5 min... NO regulator... and for an airbrush!! 100 psi. Thankfully that one didn't work either... no air pressure at all after 15 min of running and so darn loud it was running in my basement and my wife was worried I might interrupt my neighbor's dinner (100 ft away in another closed house). I will keep my eyes open for this brand Cambell-Hausfeld and run the other way. No reflection on Amazon by the way...

This is a good compressor for what I think it is intended. If you expect to do nothing more than fill a car tire, blow up say a Intex pool, a pool float, bike tire, basketball, football, use it as a blower while working on your car....you won't be disappointed. If you expect to build your dream cape cod...well.

It is loud, but then not as loud as my 10 gal. Craftsman. I wouldn't recommend using this in a inclosed room sitting two feet away. I fired it up outside, and I would say its less offensive than a 2 stroke weedeater, leaf blower. The neighbors didn't come out with pitch forks, and torches looking for it. It filled to 105 psi in three or four minutes out of the box and held pressure. I blew a completely flat tire about 3/4 of the way up off the above 105 psi.

The compressor as a whole looks good, fittings, lines, guages are what I expected for less than $60.00. Which is not to say bad. The guages consist of a tank pressure, line out pressure, which can be regulated. The lines between the compressor, tanks, and regulator are fuel lines. I put a couple of wraps of cloth tape between anything touching to address the vibration issue. The accessories are on the cheapish side but serve the purpose. As a whole it is quite sturdy, and should be able to handle anything a non-contractor throws at it.

The one complaint I have is, the air line itself. Its brittle, coiled, and definitely not meant to be stretched out. If you try, you will break it, guaranteed. I have a 10ft piece of Goodyear airline that I will add when the stock airline gives up. And it will, sooner than later :-)

Like I said for the money its a nice sompressor, it will serve my purposes quite nicely, Its portable, it fills with, and dispenses air, so I am very happy with my purchase.

This is not a good quality compressor. I expect more from CH. The air feeder lines from piston are car fuel lines and not air hoses. The two feeder hosed rub against each other (due to poor design) because of vibration and will wear a hole in each other. I have had this compressor for 1 year and 2 months, used it 5 times and now the hoses have worn through and air leaks out. What a piece of crap. I spent 3 hours fixing this, cutting away crappy fittings, reinstalling air hose and clamping off. Do not buy this.

I bought this to replace a defunct Campbell Hausfeld pancake compressor. The seller shipped it right away, but unfortunately it is not powerful enough to be practical, never exceeding 90 psi, and incapable of firing a framing nailer more than once without repressurizing.
