Maxus EX8300 15 Amps / 14.5 Amps 2 Horsepower 20 Gallon Wheeled Oiled Single Hot Dog Compressor Dual

Maxus EX8300 15 Amps / 14.5 Amps 2 Horsepower 20 Gallon Wheeled Oiled Single Hot Dog Compressor Dual Voltage 120-Volt / 240-Volt
  • Horizontal air compressor
  • Quiet operation with ultimate portability
  • It provides the air power you need to finish a wide range of projects
  • It's portable design makes it easy to move around your garage or workshop
  • It has 20-gallon capacity

Worked great quietest compressor I have used. Fast, free delivery plus I bought the unit for half of retail. Only issue was very poor packaging. The compressor fin was broken and the regulator assembly was broken. This all due to poor packaging, but it is not Amazon's fault. Amazon ordered a new compressor to replaced the damaged unit, but I canceled the replacement order as it was easier and quicker for me to spend a little extra to replace the regulator assembly.

I can't give a good review as i don't have the item , two compressors shipped but i never took ownership. It came severly damaged twice so i cancelled the order. Someday, the shipping department will get it's act together on how to pack a large item securely.

Ampro A2570 5 Piece Air Coupler Set Brass, Milton Type

Ampro A2570 5 Piece Air Coupler Set Brass, Milton Type
  • Contains 1ea: 1/4 Female Air Coupler, 1/4" Female Connector and 3ea. 1/4" Male Connector

I installed these on a 3/8 hose. I used tape on the threads and there are no leaks around the threads. However, there is an air leak from the coupler. The male end does not fit snug enough into the coupler. If there is any lateral pressure on the connector/coupler, air leaks from the coupler. For example, when I connect the hose/coupler to the male connector in the end of my Ingersoll Rand 2130 Impact Driver, the hose must hang straight down from the tool. Any slight tug or slight pull on the hose, and air leaks from the coupler. This must be a problem with the coupler (not the connector), since I have no problem with air leaking from the coupler connected to the tank.

The are nicely made and finished. No jagged edges and they fit well my other air compressor accessories. One good thing about this kit is that it includes an adapter with a female thread. I had bought an air chuck that came with a male thread, so I needed this kit and the female thread adapter to fit the air chuck to my air hose, which also has a male thread. Another kit that is sold here did not include an adapter with a female thread, so that one is useless to me. That other one was also made of steel, unlike this kit, which is made of brass.

I like that they give you males and one female, which you might need if you're building a hose.

I've had cheaper generic steel ones that leak air, but these seem to fit perfectly and don't leak.

Bought a compressor and a couple of nail guns in a kit. Wanted to add an oil/moisture filter/separator on a more substantial and longer hose than came with kit. Needed a few quick connects to make it all come together. Selected these. What a disappointment. The male and female with thread configuration did not work correctly with the air flow on the o/m f/s. Had to get a nipple and coupling to make it work. Now the configuration is several inches longer than it needs to be. This is tolerable if I pay attention to what I am doing. The worst issue which is intolerable is the leak rate between the coupler and my nail guns. The fit snaps on well but requires very careful positioning when I set the gun down to stop the air leak. I would not recommend these for any userunless your favorite sound at the job site is hearing your compressor run constantly, they leak that badly on my Porter Cable guns.

Can't use at all. Totally defective. Sliding sleeve does not slide. Dangerous. Poorly made. No quality control. First attempt to put together would have let manufacturer know it was bad. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

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.
