I was ordering this for parts to repair an existing filter. The product image showed it to be the old model, which is what I have here, but when I received it, it was the newer version and the parts are not interchangeable. I couldn't use it, and returning it was pointless considering the shipping costs. I was disappointed to say the least.

JET JFR-12 1/2-Inch NPT Air Filter/Regulator

JET JFR-12 1/2-Inch NPT Air Filter/Regulator
  • Air filter removes solid particles and condensates moisture accompanying compressed air
  • Air pressure can be maintained by the steeples regulator accurately over a wide range of flows as necessary for each application
  • Easy to read indicator
  • Full 1 year warranty

I purchased this regulator for a 60 gallon compressor with a 1/2" output. Overall this thing does everything a regulator and filter should do.

Pros:

Filtration on this unit is pretty darn good for the price. Much of the water/oil is captured by the filter. I haven't seen any evidence of any water/oil in the lines.

Line pressure gauge seems accurate as compared to the tank pressure gauge

The filter will automatically dump liquids when pressure is removed from the system.

I generally leave the system pressurized and haven't had any issue with air leakage.

Cons:

Attaching the pressure gauge to the regulator body is a bit of a pain. There is no clearance for a normal wrench between the gauge and the body so I had to tighten the gauge by torquing the gauge body. Perhaps this could be done during production?

For the price there is no doubt that this is a great purchase if you need a 1/2" regulator.

I purchased this regulator because of the 1/2 inch connection. I also selected this particular one because of the low price due to the fact it was listed as "used". The shipment was faster then I was quoted. The regulator was actually unused. The box was a little trashed which made me feel like someone bought it and then return it without using it. The only bad thing was the fact that no air pressure gauge came with it. I contacted the seller as soon as I opened it and they immediately apologized for the error and paid for a new one. The whole issue was very positive. I will definitely do business with them again and would recommend them to others with no hesitation.

This thing seems well made and in hindsigt I'm not sure I needed something so substantial. This definately is an improvement over the cheapo I had been using. I can't really say anything negative about this. It does exactly what I wanted it to do. It seems to filter out mousture quite well too. I like it. My employees like it.

This is a very nice main filter/ regulator. Very solid with 1/2" in and out connections. The adjustment knob is precise and works as expected. The only thing to be careful about is that it is rated at 150 psi input pressure so if you have a bigger compressor (155 psi or more) you need to ratchet it down to 150 if you want to use this regulator.

Also I could not find a manufacturer's web site so I i assume it is a nameless chinese knockoff of some filter/ regulator costing x3.

But I think for the price you cant beat it.

I was reluctant of the combination of water and regulator but this thing holds up well and when put in line you lose the other bowl so it eliminates the possibility for leaks in the line up.

This hose is a MUST for anyone who uses air tools on a regular basis. It is super-light and flexible, making it much easier to carry around attached to your nailer. Try using a standard rubber hose hooked to your nailer while nailing above your head all day. It is so easy to drag around and use while on a ladder or pick. Cold weather doesn't affect these hoses, they stay flexible. If you get a hole in the hose, just cut off the bad section and use a repair coupler or re-use the removeable end fitting, it is very easy to do and it's leakproof. If you're still using the old-fashioned rubber air hoses, try a Flex-Eel, you'll love it!

I always used the heavier old school hoses. This is great. Flexible, lightweight, and easy to coil or lay flat. I have no interest in going back after trying this hose.

Perfect. Lightweight. Strong. Doesn't kink. I use it with my Bosch pin nailer and my Passload 18 gauge brad nailer running off a Rolair JC10 super quiet compressor. Pneumatic nailing nirvana!

Hardcore Tools® Pneumatic 2 in 1 Flooring Cleat Nailer / Stapler HARDWOOD FLOORING 1-1/2-Inch to 2-

Hardcore Tools® Pneumatic 2 in 1 Flooring Cleat Nailer / Stapler HARDWOOD FLOORING 1-1/2-Inch to 2-Inch
  • Light weight die-cast aluminum body. 2 in 1 Flooring Cleat Nailer / Stapler. Colors may differ!
  • Operates with any standard compressor using pressure of 60 to 100 psi.
  • High-capacity magazine reduces reload time. Precisely drives staples at proper angle and depth.
  • Non-marring adjustable base plates allows for 1/2 to 3/4 inch hardwood floor installation.
  • We currently ONLY ship these TOOLS inside USA via fedex ground.

I recently purchased the Hard Core floor nailer based on posted reviews and was not disappointed. The pictures really don't show this is a big tool and well built. I used the nailer to install 3/4" walnut flooring using Bostitch 2" staples and it only mis-fired once trying to push 2 staples through at the same time. I would attribute this to the manufacture of the staple and not the tool. Jamb was easily cleared and it never missed a beat again. The instruction manual stated it used 16 gauge staples and I had trouble finding that size. In fact it uses 15.5 gauge with 1/2" crown and Home Depot had what I needed. Excellent quality tool and the price is right. If your looking I would recommend this item without reservation.

I did my first floor with this tool. I have two more to do. It is a massive and well built tool. It came with everything I needed to get it working. I shot the L shaped nails purchased from Home Depot and it never miss or partially fired. I ran the tool off a small Craftsman air compressor. It's the one with the small tank about the size of a long two liter bottle. It kept up fine and the tool worked well with it. Highly recommended for the price.

I researched these things a long time but didn't want to pay the price for a named brand one as I wouldn't have used the same amount of time as a professional. Just for your information, I came across a lot of people warning against the ones that look like the handle is small and held on with two U bolts as they leak after awhile.

Anyone looking for a quality flooring gun this is IT! I am weekend warrior with no formal carpentery training. I did a lot of research looking for the best gun for a reasonable price. I was looking at the Bostich, Porter Cable, Senco and found the Hardcore on Amazon. I am glad I did. The reviews I read gave me the assurance I needed to make my final decision. I hope this review does the same for you.

I am currently doing 1500 sqft, 3/4 red oak in my house with staples. The gun is solid as a rock, easy to use and versatile because it uses both staples and l-cleats. It was setup and ready to go. I did need to tighten a couple of bolts to stop an air leak but no big deal. It jammed once and that's because I inserted too many staples. The tools design made it easy to remove the jam. I'd recommed this to anyone looking for a flooring nailer. At this price you can also buy a good compressor to go with it. Plan on spending another $50 to have it shipped but it's still a great deal. This is a smart choice for anyone looking to buy a 2 in 1 flooring nailer.

Item did not have an issue except with the Grizzly Staples (Which curl up in bizzare ways). Went to HD and bought their stuff and went through everything just fine The unit works with out changing a thing with staples and cleats. Did I say I love it. The case is great also. I am never renting again

I estimated it would take me less than two weeks to install about 1200 feet of 3/4 x 5 inch prefinished oak floor so I rented a nailer from Home Depot instead of buying this one, which I had selected after a lot of research. The Senco nailer I rented is a great tool but but with everything I had going on, I didn't have time available in the two weeks to get the job done. I returned the nailer and bought this one, which is what I should have done in the first place. Another life lesson.

This nailer is every bit as good as the Senco with one difference: the Hardcore is sensitive to how hard you strike it with the mallet. The Senco drives every nail the same if you strike it hard enough to activate the pneumatic action. If you don't hit it hard enough (when you're in tight spaces and can't get the clean shot) it just won't activate. The Hardcore will partially drive a nail if you hit it too softly.

It'll take you 30 seconds to get used to that. Out of about 5000 nails, I had to pull and redrive two due to my soft strikes. The nailer itself never misfired a single nail.

Use the Senco nails (cleats) available at Home Depot in the rental department. If you have a box left over, you can easily return them.

This is a great tool and the seller is top-notch, too.

Ingersoll-Rand SS3J2-WB 15 Amp/ 14.7 Amp 2 Horsepower 8 Gallon Oiled Twin Pontoon Compressor with Du

Ingersoll-Rand SS3J2-WB 15 Amp/ 14.7 Amp 2 Horsepower 8 Gallon Oiled Twin Pontoon Compressor with Dual Voltage 115/230-Volts
  • Designed for maximum maneuverability on the job site
  • Durable cast iron construction
  • 100% continuous duty cycle for tough applications
  • 5.7 acfm at 90 psi
  • 8 gallon twin tanks

When I started looking for a portable compressor that would stand up to the daily use in construction and provide ample air for framing nailers and a texture gun I considered Emglo, RolAir and IR. I have owned an IR and Emglo and both worked well. Once I plugged the IR in I was amazed at how quiet it is. The speed of the compressor is about 580 RPM. It is the same pump used in other IR compressors that use a bigger motor and a bigger motor pulley to produce more CFM.

I did a fair amount of research before purchasing this product. I have many IR brand tools and accessories and have always been very happy with the quality and durability of this product. I was dismayed however, upon receipt of this product, that when I went to discharge the tank after running it that the drain valves appeared faulty. Upon further inspection i discovered that the pit-cocks were painted over which made them 'locked' and immobile without using a pair of channel lock pliers to open. When I finally opened the tank, one chamber was closed and never drained at the factory, which then discharged blackened liquid buildup all over my shop floor. This occurs typically when the compressor is used over time and not properly discharged after use. This is an IR recommended procedure after each use of the compressor. I now need to replace the pit-cocks and clean the threading, or take it to a shop or IR dealer to have it fixed. I should not have to have dealer maintenance performed before the product has even been used.

On another note, Ingersoll-Rand recommends use of synthetic oil in their compressors, however they ship it with standard oil already in the engine. This means they tested it with regular oil and you have to drain it yourself in order to put the manufacture recommended product in.
