New Heavy Duty Pressure Switch for Air Compressor 25 amp 95-125 Single Port Connection w/ unloader &

New Heavy Duty Pressure Switch for Air Compressor 25 amp 95-125 Single Port Connection w/ unloader & on/off lever
  • Brand New 25 Amp Heavy Duty pressure switch 95-125 - 1 port - unloader & on/off lever
  • FREE SHIPPING
  • 25 Amps at 110, 230 or 460 volt - single or three phase
  • UL Approved
  • Can be used with 1 - 25 amp motors without a magnetic starter

I needed to replace the Siemens switch on my Ingersoll compressor, and chose to save a few bucks. So far, I feel that this switch is worth the money, and right now it works fine. The on/off switch feels a bit flimsy, and in general the assembly seems to lack the durability that I have seen in Square D and Siemens switches. Time will tell. I'm sure that it is an adequate budget alternative for most people. If it fails, I'll spend the extra money next time, but I'm the type of guy that usually buys the high-end brands.

Only problem I have withthis switch is that it has no port for the pop off valve!!!....I had to add a "T" between the tank and switch.....Operation is dead on!!!

This switch is just what you need to replace the pressure switch on your old generic air compressor. because of the unloader valve built into it. Just a standard pressure switch won't do, just in case you don't realize it. Great switch, and the price is good. Mike Brainerd

A very good value for the money. Works perfectly. My only complaint is the on/off lever looks fragile. Great delivery, good piece of equipment at a great price.

It's been a while since I bought it, the switch itself has been in service for about 2 years now. One thing that I did have to do was expose the earth ground down to bare metal as I did get lit up on my unloader valve. Keep in mind that if you're running a heavy duty compressor where your motor amps are 20+, the start amps are usually greater and the amp rating for the switch is maximum, not rms. Otherwise I've recommended this to several friends and wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.

Floor Nailer for Installing Hardwood Flooring - Bamboo, Oak, Maple, Brazilian Cherry, Hickory, Walnu

Floor Nailer for Installing Hardwood Flooring - Bamboo, Oak, Maple, Brazilian Cherry, Hickory, Walnut, Hand Scraped, Prefinished and Engineered Wood Flooring
  • Floor nailer (Hardcore Tools® Brand) light weight cast aluminum, colors may vary!
  • Operates with any compressor with standard connectors, 60-100 PSI
  • High-capacity magazine for reload time. Reliably drives staples at proper angle and depth.
  • Non-marring base plates are adjustable for 1/2 to 3/4 inch hardwood floor installation.
  • Durable plastic carrying case for tool, inclues mallet, oil, hex tools, o-rings and safety googles.

Reliable, works well. The tool includes a complete set of replacement gaskets, safety glasses, hammer, wrenches, and oil. This is my first foray into nail-down flooring. I have floated several engineered floors, but wanted nail-down for a small remodel job. I used this tool to install 5/8 hand scraped birch. This is a heavy tool so you need to be careful not to damage your floors if you are installing pre-finished wood. I used 1-3/4" L-nails (you will probably only be able to find 2" L-nails at the box stores.) Be sure to practice with some test strips before installation. Use a moderate blow, too light and the nail will not fully set and you will have to manually set the nail. If you strike a very heavy blow, you may damage/split the flooring (I set my compressor to 90 psi, which is rated at 4.2 cfm at that pressure, your results may vary depending on your compressor settings/performance). There is a removable plastic sole on the tool and an additional one in the box, make sure you are using the correct one for the flooring width. As a DIY'er, you won't be working as quickly as the pro's, but if you are careful you will have very nice results with this tool. Even for a small, job, the price is well worth it.

Plastair HoseKoil PU425-1-3-AMZ 1/4-Inch x 25-Foot Polyurethane Lead Safe Ultra-Light Recoil Air Hos

Plastair HoseKoil PU425-1-3-AMZ 1/4-Inch x 25-Foot Polyurethane Lead Safe Ultra-Light Recoil Air Hose, Blue
  • Quality Construction fittings Equipped with 1/4-inch npt swivel and rigid fitting.This product has 160 working PSI (with a 3:1 safety burst ratio).
  • HoseKoil extends and retracts to its original compact form giving it ultimate recoil memory.
  • Extremely lightweight and compact for easy and convenient storage.
  • HoseKoil will not kink or tangle and storing it is effortless, unlike straight conventional air hose.
  • Made with virgin-grade polyurethane, it remains flexible in all weather conditions.

I bought one of these hoses several years ago, and was so happy with it that I ended up buying 3 more for a total of 4. I have used them for just over four years and have had two of them fail via a rupture. I leave my system pressured to 90psi all the time, but the hoses get only occasional use. The first one split near the end (coiled end, not the straight end) and my compressor ran until it overheated and shut off via thermal overload. I cut off about two feet of the hose and attached another end with clamps. Last week another of the hoses developed a split about in the middle of the hose and this one was small enough that the compressor (big five horse Ingersoll Rand) would keep up with it until I heard it running and shut it down.

I examined the plastic on both splits and it appears to have degraded and become almost crystaline or granular like sugar. These hoses do not appear to have a reinforcing braid built into them, and therefor the first split was quite large. I have become concerned enough to quit using them and have gone back to the non-coiled reinforced rubber hoses for the time being. I am looking for something just like these that has a better plastic and the reinforced braid built into them.

I recieved this hose and was very surprized at it's quality. I'm extreamly demanding in my tools and was not unhappy. I really like its construction and design. It's very nice to have it with my small senco compressor to just carry right to the work with no trouble. It looks like it will hold up great. The pigtails are a very nice asset and it's small coil design it super, wont tangle easy also. You wont be unhappy, get it!

If you are looking for a coil hose, this is the one to get. FORGET the chinese hard nylon ones, they are completely useless. You know the ones... They are yellow and available at the usual tool discounters that sell mostly Asian goods. This hose is smartly designed with built in whip sections, lovely flexible polyurethane, and made in North America. Best yet, the price is a quarter of what it should be.

Just buy it. You will not regret it. I am here today buying a second one in a larger size.

I purchased this as a replacement hose for my litte dc-powered 12v compressor that I use for airing up after beach trips. The hose coils are smaller in diameter than I envisioned (not a bad thing), only about 3" diameter coils. The hose, coiled up as pictured, is a little under two feet long. The connector on the pigtail has a built-in swivel, which is a nice touch.

I wouldn't use this for shop duty or in a situation where it is always pressurized, but it would be perfect for light use--compact, hard to tangle, etc. Note that the realistic usable length is probably 12-15' before it starts getting really taught, but it will easily reach the rear tires on both sides when the compressor is sitting on the ground near the front of the car. If I were using it for, say, running a trim nailer, I'd get a longer version.

I have two 50' air hoses, and using them when the temperature is in the 20's is no fun at all. For inflating tires or using a portable nailer or other tool, I like to use a portable air tank. This 25' coiled hose is lightweight and compact, so I can carry it with the air tank and use it without fighting with a 50' monster.
