Campbell Hausfeld FP2095 2-Gallon Twinstack Air Compressor

• User friendly design with easy to read gauges
• Protective manifold
• Conveniently placed gauges allow for easy monitoring of air pressure
• Sturdy handle allows for easy portability and easy storage
• Great for inflation, brad nailing, stapling and air brushing

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.

This is my first compressor, and it seems to be filling the bill pretty well. I was able to pick it up in a home improvement store, and it came packaged with a finishing nail gun. Bonus! The price was just a tad cheaper, too.

I have been using this to inflate tires and to use two types of nail guns (one finishing, one framing). I'm not using it on a daily basis (just weekend projects) -and it's doing it's job. I probably have about 30 hours of work on it, and no issues yet.

It is a bit loud, but I've heard other compressors, and I don't think anyone makes a "quiet" compressor. The hose that comes with it isn't the best quality, and I expect that will be the first thing that eventually goes, but it's working fine to this point.

Light weight makes it a highly portable unit, and it comes with a few starter adapters, which is nice.

Bought this to do a ton of crown molding. One of the best investments I have made in some time. Not a workhorse, but works GREAT for me.

I bought this compressor from a home improvement store hoping it would be adequate enough just to fill up some floats, tires, and other small jobs around the house. Just to give an example of how weak it is, I tried to fill up a small children's pool you can get for about 10 bucks at Target. It took the better part of an hour. I found that I could blow it up faster with myself.

The compressor does come with a nail gun which does make the purchase a little more worthwhile, but since I have no need in a nail gun I didn't even take it out of the plastic.

This compressor would possibly be good if you wanted to use it only for very small projects, but definitely not worth the money when there are so many other choices on here. Don't waste your time with this one.

Hitachi C10FCE2 10-Inch Compound Miter Saw

• Carbide blade included
• Equipped with a 15-amp motor
• Large pivoting fence
• No-load speed of 5,000 RPM
• Bevel angle from 0-45, miter range from 0-52

Received the Hitachi C10FCE2 yesterday after a longer wait than usual from Amazon. But still within the window they specify.

Assembled the saw accessories in about 5 minutes (flip over fence, rear stabilizer bar, and hold down) and took it out to my shop. First up was a standard pine 2x4. Plugged in the saw and gave the trigger a pull. The first thing I noticed as a nice soft start mechanism, very nice. The blade started spinning and had little to no vibration. I love the horizontal anti vibe handle. Pulled the saw down and cut through the 2x4 like a hot knife through butter. I was impressed at this price point. Next up were some miter cuts. 52 degrees left and right, no problem. The indicator is very thin which makes for more exacting measurements, again very nice. Next up, bevel. Went to 45 degrees, gave the handle a tug and i had a clean 45 degree bevel. Checked the angles and they were spot on, right from the factory. I cut 2x6's, stacked 2 2x4's, and stacked 2 2x6's and it cut them without any problems or bogging down. This saw will cut 4x4 posts no problem at 90 degrees.

With the 5 year warrantee and a saw that performs like this you can't go wrong at $99.00 with free shipping.

I bought this same saw about a year ago at Lowes, I paid something like $150 for it. It's a great saw, really smooth and comfortable to use. Works great for cutting trim boards, but I've also used it as a chop saw to cut 2x6's, it doesn't bog down one bit when cutting larger stock. It's a little heavy, but to me that just means it's built better. It's also quiet compared to other miter saws I've used. This is definitely a great deal! I'm almost tempted to buy a second as a backup!

I received this saw as a Christmas present in 2007. I've used it nearly every other weekend since, and the only complaint I have is with the manual. This was my first miter saw so I wanted to be sure that it was put together correctly, but the instructions were nearly incomprehensible. But, since I'm a guy and am used to not reading directions (j/k) I figured it out eventually.

This saw is very powerful relative to other models in this price range. I had looked at the Dewalt saws, but didn't really think the quality of construction was the same since Black & Decker bought them out a few years back. I've used this to cut 4x4" treated posts and it slices through them like a hot knife through butter, with no motor lag at all. The sawdust catch-bag is a nice feature, but doesn't catch it all. I wasn't expecting it to, and having ANY of it get caught is a plus, and simply less clean up for me once the project is finished.

After receiving this saw, I did some research and found out that all Hitachi power tools have a 5 year limited warrantee. I've blown through 3 drills 1 Skil, 2 Black & Deckers (guess I didn't learn) on my trip to the Hitachi brand, and will never buy anything but Hitachi tools from here on out. I would recommend this tool to anyone that is looking for a professional quality tool at a decent price.

This saw was bought as a replacement for a contractor grade Craftsman compound miter saw and boy... I should have upgraded sooner!

The Craftsman saw weighs in at 55 lbs which makes it a pain to move and setup, however with this Hitachi weighing in at half the weight (just 26 lbs) not only makes it easier to move and setup it feels as well constructed as the Craftsman, if not better constructed. Also the built in carrying handle on top of this saw means no more having to carry it awkwardly or smashing my fingers!

The motor is nice and powerful and can easily cut through pressure treated 4x4 posts, 2x4s, you name it it cuts through it with ease. And the saw itself adjusts to pretty much any angle and beveling degree you can possibly need. The large fence allows you to cut some of the largest pieces of wood (like crown molding, window trim, etc.) without having to figure out a weird and dangerous way to hold the piece of wood while you make the cut. I can't remember how many times I've had to hold a piece awkwardly while making a cut because the fence is too short.

The added vise assembly is a HUGE plus, something that some of the more expensive saws don't even include.

Now you're thinking why did I give it only 4 stars? The dust bag only does a mediocre job at collecting dust and it's made in China... thats right a Japanese company making stuff in China. I really would have preferred to see it made in Japan or the US. It is covered by a five year warranty and made to the high standards of Hitachi... so it is a trade off.

Overall I would highly recommend this saw to anyone.

Pros:

Powerful.

Light-weight but very well constructed.

Fairly quiet, even for a miter saw.

Built in handle on the top of the unit makes transportation and setup much easier.

Comfortable handle.

Cons:

Made in China.

Dust bag doesn't collect a whole lot of dust... better then nothing though.

I purchased this miter saw to replace its predecessor, Hitachi model C10FC2, which experienced a terminal encounter with my garage floor...

First Impressions:

This model is both smaller and lighter than I was expecting. Hitachi has apparently redesigned this product to minimize shipping costs from China. The bed of this saw is about 3 inches shorter than the C10FC2. It is also noticeably lighter. With these modifications, the saw can be packaged in a smaller (and flimsier) box. The saw pivots smoothly and has solid stops at common angles. The "D" style handle offers good control and is an improvement on the earlier pistol grip. I also like the fact that they have enlarged the throat of the dust collection bag; not nearly as much blockage. Finally, the Hitachi 5 year warranty makes this a reassuring choice.

The first thing I did after unpacking the saw was to align the fence(s)and blade. Next I upgraded the saw with a quality 80 tooth blade and an Irwin Miter Saw Laser Guide. Finally, I bolted the saw down to a larger plywood base to minimize tipping.

This saw delivers good basic accuracy at a reasonable price. As noted, the bed is kind of short. I suspect that commercial users will want to add extensions or build a cutting bed to handle longer pieces. The manufacturers have added a "flip fence" feature to the left fence to address some of these issues. Folded up, it provides support for taller material. Unfolded it pivots out horizontally and provides backing for longer materials. I was a little skeptical of the pivot, but it seems to work as intended. The only drawback is that you can't make bevel cuts with the flip fence retracted.

One disappointment is the redesigned material clamp/vise. They've downgraded this feature by using lighter materials and resizing the hand knob to the size of a small dial. The screw down clamp is mounted on a post which slides into a receiving vertical hole in the left or right fence. A second hole is lined up in the bed of the saw. So why couldn't they make these items the same size? The post slops around in the fence hole, but doesn't even fit into the receiving hole in the bed. If I used this feature more I'd be more concerned. It works, but its not pretty.

Overall, I am happy with the saw. Cuts were very accurate and repeatable. A reasonable tool for the hobbyist or home shop. Commercial users will probably need to make some of the noted upgrades. Too early to address durablility issues. I doubt this will be as robust as the earlier saw, but it will probably hold up if not abused (or dropped).

Purchased from Costco, tried to use it once to inflate a kiddie raft. Worked for 20 seconds and died. Don't even bother.

Bought it at Costco today, like one of the other reviewers. It runs, it's loud, yet there is barely any pressure. Certainly not enough to inflate anything. Will have to return it.

I would give this a ZERO, but 1 star will have to do.

I opened the box. Read the instructions. Plugged it in and switched on. It rev'd up and kept going until there was a pop. Now it just revs and no air pressure come out. Tried switching it on and off. Letting it cool down. ... No success. Utter junk.

Don't waste your time.

Will have it for two days because Costco is closed tomorrow, I'll be returning it the day after, it's complete junk!

I bought it from costco two days ago, and left for camping.

right after I pluged it to my quickbed, I had to wonder what is wrong with the machine. there was almost no air coming out. instruction tells that I need to block deflation to increase airflow, but sooner my thumb became tired.

I blocked the deflation with tape and let the machine work with making noise. I guess it took almost 20-30 minutes to inflate queen size air mattress.

It's box says high-flow... and shows mattress to tell that the machine can inflate mattress. YES! it can inflate! but it's a problem of time and noise.

one good thing is that the machine can push more air to higher pressure so that mattress become more firm. but took long long long time with loud noise.

it provides various adaptors. when I came back home, I tried it for my boy's airball. ( I did not use needle, but narrow adaptor to see how it buid up pressure because manual foot pumt( which almost look like a toy) can blow it up in the same way ( without needle)).it is very soft low pressure ball. however it was not able to push more air into it because 1. most air leaked from adaptor since they fit loose. 2. it didn't have enough air to build any pressure ( leaking air >= from machine :) )

I thought I might be doing something worng, and read instruction again, again. ( nothing much on manual). tried to see how it can blow dust.I bet 1.5V hand fan ( toy fan) can blow more air than this.

if you are trying to use it for tires that need just more air, this might work for you. ( when I blocked air from nozzle, I could feel air pressure ( pressure seems OK, QTY is problem to me ... and noise )

returning it tomorrow.

NuMax SBR50 18 Gauge 2-Inch Brad Nailer

• 1 Year Warranty
• Adjustable Exhaust
• Air Filter
• High Quality Internal Parts
• Hardened Driver Blade

THis product is lightweight, well balanced, and has a soft rubber grip. There are a lot of finishing nail guns in the $20-50 range, after a lot of searching around I opted for this one. I have owned a few other brands some costing more and some less..generally after thousands of nails some problems would arise.. this is normal wear and tear and its easier to purchase a new and reliable gun over rebuilding the many seals and pistons in the gun.

My first option was to purchase a rebuilt Bostitch or similar high dollar gun I decided against that seeing how many of the guns took beatings under the abuse of contractors.

Next I ruled out Chicago because the body seemed flimsy and prone to leaks at the main valve seal.Previously owning a Central Pneumatic unit (which comes with a case for the same price) the only reason I didnt buy another is the saftey is bulky and prone to getting bent out of shape. The gun then doesnt fire as easily, and you have to make sure the tip is pressed AND the safety is satisfied.

This gun has good reviews all around, solid construction, and it shoots Brad nails upto 2" (all the way down to 1/2"). No case included and I would replace the air inlet adapter with quality one. Oil frequently.

Postives:

Light, easy to handle

Very few jams

Easy trigger pull

Accepts longer brads (up to 2", although I haven't used any over 1-3/4")

Negatives:

No adjustment mechanism for the depth to which the brads are driven, which is a feature that is quite handy. Even the comparable Central Pneumatic brand (Harbor Freight) brad nailers have this feature.

No rubber foot on the contact point--the tool WILL leave a dent after the brad is driven. With the proper technique (it takes some practice), the mark can be minimized.

Male air coupling provided with the tool did not engage correctly with the female fitting on the air hose. The result was a slow leak that caused the air compressor to cycle frequently, even when the tool was not being used (quite annoying with an oil-free compressor in a small room). Use matching coupling components (i.e., same brand) to eliminate the problem.

Bought this one based on reviews on Amazon.com. Used it for window

trims in my house. It worked flawlessly for the whole project that involved

like 6 windows. Yes, you need a little experience to hold it with the right

amount of force so that it does not leave a dent in wood piece when your

fire a nail. But you can learn this through experiment.

Campbell Hausfeld PA500400AV 50-Feet Hose on Retractable Reel

• Retractable hose reel keeps your shop organized
• 50-Feet 300 PSI is ideal for most projects
• Durable plastic case resists cracking
• Portable design can also be wall mounted
• Non-marking PVC hose

When I started looking at these retractable air hoses I was surprised by how much they cost. I found this one and thought I might as well try it, if it didn't work I could return it. I am very impressed, it is a piece of cake to mount with the included screws and the hose pulls out and retracts very well. The case is high quality. I just have a small home shop and won't be putting too much strain on it but for the price it's perfect for me. The only thing I could fault it for is the process of winding the hose in, if you don't feed the hose in from side to side it can jam up but it's pretty easy to get it to feed back in correctly. I am very impressed with this unit and recommend it to others.

I have had this hose reel for 4 years now and today I had to take it down because the hose split where it connects to the reel. This reel works great in the warmer weather but every winter the PVC hose becomes stiff and will not retract. I have to push the hose back in.

I am trying to get it apart and will replace the PVC hose with rubber hose.

Of course I went thru the installation before I aired the thing up thinking everything would be ok....wrong...after listening closely I found it had an internal air leak that I could not fix, so I exchanged it for another one (which Amazon handles EXPERTLY!!) and so far so good with the second one. I got so tired of see the dang air hose laying around. Hopefully this lasts a few years (fingers crossed).
