O Ring Kit

O Ring Kit
  • ORK1 O-RING KIT
  • O-RING KIT

I did have to assemble the unit twice to fix the problem but I won't complain. Instructions were clear and parts worked. I think more grease was needed (fixed the problem on the second try). Happy to keep a good nailer in service since my older unit is better made than many of the new ones.

This was exactly what I wanted. It was the right kit for my air nailer. Unfortunately it didn't solve the problem, but that's another story.

Lot of money for what it is but works. Item was shipped fast and packaged good and included instructions. would have given it a five had it not been for the price.

The kit works exactly as it says. It was easy to replace on my finish nailer, and now the gun works as though it were practically brand new, and it's a 15 year old gun.

The kit provides easy to follow instructions on how to disassemble the nailer and install the new orings and seals. The nailer work like new.

Grex P635 23 Gauge 1-3/8-Inch Length Headless Pinner

Grex P635 23 Gauge 1-3/8-Inch Length Headless Pinner
  • Powerful motor penetrates fasteners through the hardest materials
  • Shoots fasteners up to 1-3/8-inch length easily, even-inch hardwoods
  • Patented design eliminates need to adjust for different fastener lengths
  • Double trigger safety prevents accidental firing of tool
  • Narrow nose reaches tight areas and corners for detailed trim work

I am simply amazed by this pinner. I have used many others with less features and the Grex p635 is a hands down winner. Few manufacturers offer a 23ga pinner as versatile as the P635 with the capability to shoot 3/8 to 1 3/8 pins and self adjusting to boot. No splitting of crown or delicate hardwood mouldings even within 1/8" of an end mitre. I have pretty much retired my 18ga brad nailer for high end trim in leu of the Grex P635. I am impressed with the holding power of the 23 ga pins in hardwood crown on cabinet installs. As a professional wood worker I highly recommend this pinner.

I was introduced to this nail gun at my last job. Now that I am in business for myself, I had to get one. I have used the Senco and the Grex 23g micro pinners. The Sencos that we had at the shop hardly ever worked properly. They weren't self-adjusting, so changing nail lengths was a pain. And, the nail heads almost always stayed above the surface of the material. The Grex, however is self adjusting, and goes all the way from 1/4" to 1 3/8" nail lengths. Even in the hardest wood it always sinks the heads. The only time it hasn't was when I was shooting into maple at a harsh angle, or when the compressor didn't come back on and there wasn't enough pressure. Also, I have had the gun for 2 months and used it almost every work day since then, and I have only had one minor jam. Plus, just the fact that you don't have to fill every nail hole with putty makes this tool a life saver.

I purchased Senco, Porta-Cable, Bostitch, Omer, and Grex. Grex by far is the best! It doesn't jam, or break down. Very reliable and saves me money over the long run from not repairing it every week. Before the P635 my porta-cable and omer both gave me the biggest problems. The Grex gets into the corners and doesn't leave a mark into the finished product. I have owned them for 2 years and now getting one for my father. Also, I have been burned by the big auction web site(won't name names)trying to buy this tool.

(see revision below) I wasn't led astray by others who raved about this 23 gauge pinner. It saved the day as far as doing an intricate exterior Ipe handrail with polyurethane glue. No other brad or nailer would work except my old Senco 1/2 thru 3/4 inch pinner and it leaked and didn't have the power of this new one. With no time to use small screws and countersinks nor tenoning, I found that using toe nailed 23 guage pins with polyurethane glue really held together this hard-as-nails exterior hardwood.

The only small problem was when adding a new shank of pins to a nearly empty gun.. that when the previous shank was used up the new shank due to the smallest misalignment wouldn't pin.. .not a biggy..It just meant one had to very carefully load the pinner and make sure the same size of pins was in-line with the prior shank of pins. Very hard to tell if the gun is firing or not. But minor concerns with such a Great Tool! It's very powerful judging at the strength of penetration into a wood (Ipe) that is very close to being the hardest of woods. 18 guage would shatter and split the wood and only my battery actuated Dewalt 16 guage gun would consistantly penetrate but only at a right angle and with occasional splitting. Only 23 guage pins would toe nail w/o bouncing off.

Someone described this as the "Lexus of pinners". Seems very true. Also the extra finger safety 'flipper' was annoying and my helper just taped it to the handle as we found that it was more likely to accidently fire with the intricacy of manipulating the safety on than having it taped off (down). Works now very well. No hitches. Comes with the usual leaky bottle of oil..but not even one pin in the box. Make sure you order some if you don't have 'em when ordering this gun.

after a month or so...revised review. Now the Grex no longer shoots pin to the surface...pins are proud a good 1/16. Opened it up and the first part of the pin driver is shattered. Thus needing a new piston pin, Amazon does carry it. But was the wood too hard (Ipe) on the pinner or is it just a bad design? Remember my old Senco still shoots pins but only is a half through three quarter pinner. I'd have to demote Grex to two stars. The pin driver seems only meant for softer woods. Need to find paperwork as no local dealer sells Grex or contact manufacturer.

After asking around on woodnet i found that this one is the only one that does not leave a small dent from the driving pin( at least in this price range)

the one drawback to all of these micro pinners is that you cant control the depth of the pin

it will never go more than about a 32nd into the wood

not quite enough for filler

SPT WA-1010M 10,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Manual Controls

SPT WA-1010M 10,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Manual ControlsI've had this running for over 7 years almost non-stop to cool a small computer room. It is still working and does it's job very well. People who complain about it not cooling just have no clue on the proper use of a portable air conditioner. As far as noise complaints that I have also seen about this unit, the noise level is about average as compared to others portable AC units that I have used. You can get much quieter ones, but they are significantly more expensive.

Do not buy this AC,,it does not keep any room big or small,

cool or cold.It is very over priced.I tryed four kinds,this one has the most BTU but high price,it was very loud.All the other brands, did a very good job of keeping,not only one room cold,NOT COOL,but my hold one bedroom apartment as well.BUT this unit did not keep one room cool,so cold was out of the question.Do not buy this unit.And I got it new,right out of the box.It doesnoting but made alot of noise.

It is extremely noisey even on the low setting, but worse is that it does not even cool. IT didn't seem to cool at all so I let it run all night in an attempt to cool down a small room, the next morning the room was 1 degree cooler than the other rooms. A fan would do similar work and have less noise and cost.

Black & Decker JUS350B 350 Amp Jump Starter

Black & Decker JUS350B 350 Amp Jump Starter
  • 350 Instant starting amps for maximum performance
  • Low-profile design for easy storage within vehicle or garage
  • Visual and audible reverse polarity alarms warn against improper connections to battery terminals
  • Ultra bright area light for increased visibility in dark areas
  • Cables and clamps store easily on unit

I purchased this jumpstarter from a local retailer (I only paid $50 for it). Car is an older Camry. It was sitting dead in a parking lot for 4 months.

This jumpstarter says you need to charge it for 48 hours before first use, but i was on a time constraint so i used it after 24. The unit started the car right up. Used between 25% and 50% of the charge.

The unit itself is small enough for me to easily throw into a backpack or keep in a corner of my car. I don't think the light is necessary but whatever.

The only thing i didn't like was that the AC charger is a two prong plug sticking out of the unit. See that black panel next to the light in the picture? That lifts up and reveals the recessed prongs. If you buy this unit, you will need an extension cord.

I used it three times before re-charging the unit. All you have to do is connect + to + and to , turn the switch and start your car. It's that easy!

This product works fine on small cars. Even when it was left out at freezing temperatures it started my car. Note that if you have a truck or larger car you will probably want the 500amp version.

Compact jump starter. Fits behind the seat of my single-seat pickup truck.

Only thing to mention: you need an extension cord to charge it (not provided). You have to open the little black cover on the front panel and attach the extension cord there to start it charging.

I bought the Black and Decker 350 Jump Starter as I inadvertently left the headlights on my 2004 BMW 330i ZHP.

I did not realise this until about 36 hours later when I tried turning on my car and realising my mistake. My automobile just would not start.

Well, I purchased this jump starter and left to initially charge for about 33 hours and guess what? It managed to start my automobile. Product worked as stated. Very light and compact. It also comes with a USB port to charge an electronic device and with a bright work light. Both are very handy.

As others mentioned, you must buy a slim profile extension cord to charge the jump starter but other than that this is a good bargain.

Factory-Reconditioned Ryobi ZRP300 One+ Nailer/Stapler

Factory-Reconditioned Ryobi ZRP300 One+ Nailer/Stapler
  • Brad nail size: 3/4" up to 1-1/4"
  • Staple size: 1/4" up to 9/16" (3/8" crown width)
  • Easy to load magazine accepts up to 100 brad nails or 84 staples
  • Front activation pin on the magazine helps prevent accidental firing
  • Overmold grip for increased user comfort

This stapler/nailer barely performs for even the most remedial tasks.I would not suggest buying this item when there are much more affordable tools out there that out perform it.I bought the old style hand held staple gun,had zero problems and completed my project.As a stapler this thing works okay,but it wont drive brads through the thinnest of materials and bends half the nails it does drive.Nothing but a bad attempt at what is supposed to be a helpful tool,and I am a huge fan of Ryobi products.

I have used longest 9/16 staples, and they could not punch together 1/4 plywood and 1/2 MDF. The bearingly punched 1/4 plywood through, forget about the MDF.

I could use it or P301 for running staples around loose upholstery on your chair or sofa. BUT I would not use it for lumber work: wood, hardwood, plywood, or MDF. Too weak! Use compressor staplers instead.

What a great concept, portable, no hoses or cords to incumber you. However, as a brad nailer it does not perform well. It would not seat a 1-1/4 inch brad through a half inch vinyl quarter round to a pine baseboard. I leaves about 1/8 inch of the brad protruding. In addition, accuracy on a small piece is a challenge with the wide driving end of the tool larger than the piece. I had a similar problem fastening 3/4 inch wood trim, The brads are not driven completely into the piece, regardless of the setting adjustment. Trying to seat the protruding brads with a hammer presents another challenge, They inevitably bend over unless hit perfectly square.

Tried driving a 3/4" brad through a soft cedar fencing plank and the nailer couldn't even get the nail all the way through. The concept is good for a light and convenient compressorless tool, but it can't do its basic function of driving a nail.

I am a huge Ryobi One+ fan, but sadly this unit is not powerful enough to fully set any staple or brad nail into wood. Additionally, the strip of staples or nails falls apart in the loader so they get jammed and most of them have to be discarded.
