I recently completed a ground up restoration of a Powermatic Model 81 Band Saw. This included replacing the original three-phase Leeson motor with a newer single-phase. Leeson provided the exact size, power, and case needed. This is a very smooth, quiet powerful 2hp motor. The re-seller used by AMAZON was experiencing some hiccups in their processing of my order, but their response to my queries came quickly, were helpful, and courteous. I know that when I purchase through AMAZON, that I have their backing and protection through their brokering process.

I just finished removing two tractor transmissions, including wheel lugs, axle bolts, and mounts.

Very powerful, quiet, and fast, overall great quality, no issues whatsoever, and most important... THIS IMPACT WRENCH RUNS PERFECTLY, EVEN WITH MY PORTABLE LITTLE 5 GALLON NAIL GUN AIR COMPRESSOR !!! NO NEED FOR A MONSTER, HIGH VOLUME AIR COMPRESSOR !!! This thing works well even with the regulator set from 60 to 80 psig. It will even take the lug nuts off my super duty van using the little compressor. One caution...Be careful of your fingers when holding back the other side of a bolt with a wrench...you can crush you fingers !

Got this for my husband who has all sorts of tools. He was really impressed with the power of this tool. We don't know much about the company but he's purchased their grinder in the past and he was sold on it so I thought I'd give this tool a try for him. He loves it and says it's everything it says it is, powerful, lighter than is (X) brand and comfortable. He called the aircat customer service for some questions he had and said they were very helpful. Hubby says great tool and would buy from them again.

I do a lot of research before buying my tools, I read reviews and forums all over the internet, and the comments for this gun were better than IR, Snap On, etc. so I decided to buy it considering power, durability, design and price. When I received the gun I made the first test, in which I tightened the lug nuts of my jeep with a cross wrench using the whole weight of my body (220 lbs) until the nuts no longer squeaked and the vehicle started to shake, I plugged the gun to a 3/8 50ft hose at 100 psi using a portable 16 gallon compressor, plugged the 3/4 deep socket, pointed the gun... pulled the trigger fast 1-2-3 and done !! the nut was loose in less than 2 seconds !!... I doubt that I'll find in my jeep any other nut or bolt as tight as this, even if I do I think this gun will turn them loose in a couple more seconds than my lug nuts, but in the end it will do the job. In summary, this gun will be one of my favorite tools, you can't go wrong with this one, it's definitely the best deal you can get for a good quality gun with lots of torque, this gun will pay itself in a couple of projects.

Purchased wrench as a Christmas gift for my son. My husband is the type to research, research, research before buying anything (a good trait) and found this product lived up to its hype. Our son was estatic when opening his present and has used more than can count since the holidays. My husband is tempted to buy one for himself to upgrade from the torque wrench he has.

Hello, I am a "B" auto technician, and I owned a Snap-On MG725 for about 3-4 years and it started to give up on me. Rather than get it rebuilt by Snap-On and pay all that money. I decided to try this "Aircat 1150" in a pinch to keep me working. I must say:

Pros

1. It's just as powerful if not more powerful than the $460 dollar Snap-On.

2. They have a 2 year warranty and they sell tune up kits "YOU" can rebuild yourself.

3. It's quiet, to me noise does not bother me, but for others it's a very quiet impact gun.

4. It's not a very heavy gun.

Con

5. This one is a con of the gun compared to the Snap-On MG725. The 1150 anvil where the socket goes on, the snap ring on the anvil does not hold onto the socket very well, it's just the way it's made. The MG725 the snap ring will wear out, but it will not let your socket go easily.

I must say, I think I'll just keep my Snap-On now as a spare, and make this my main gun.

Legacy L8305 3/8-Inch x 50 Retractable Air Hose Reel

• Levelwind layering mechanism ensures the hose retracts evenly and easily
• 3/4-inch ID swivel reduces flow restrictions and improves performance
• User can select "Free Run" for fast rewind or "Latching" to latch the hose
• Mounting bracket allows the user to secure the reel in 1 of 7 positions
• 3/8" x 50' PVC hose is included

The vinyl hose becomes unmanageable in cooler weather. I am in Austin Texas which doesn't get that cold. At temps below about 50 I cannot even get the hose to retract because it doesn't want to bend. At cooler temps the hose develops a lot of memory to where it is difficult to use. I have about given up on using it until April or so.

The "Levelwind" hose tracking mechanism works flawlessly and makes the difference between all those "so-so" hose storage wheels and this engineering jewel. This is a quality, well-constructed product that I expect will be in service for a very long time. As a bonus, delivery was prompt and postage charges were very reasonable.

I was tired of tripping over twisted air hoses and ordered this from Amazon based on good reviews. I use it in a garage to work on cars primarily. I've had no problems with malfunctions in "cold" temperatures that some have mentioned. I'm in Iowa and the garage temp stays between 30-40 in the winter. Ironically, after I purchased it, I discovered that the Legacy company is only 10 miles from where I live in Iowa! Overall, it does what it's supposed to do. What else can you ask for?

Factory-Reconditioned Ridgid ZROF50150TS 5 Gallon Oil-Free Portable Tri-Stack Air Compressor

• Powerful induction motor for maximum power, durability and quick starts
• Innovative steel tank design allows compressor to be configured for a wide range of tools, applications and environments
• Compressor and independently regulated tanks separate for easy carrying and versatile, simultaneous uses
• 1/4 turn tank drain, valve on each tank turns quickly and easily for convenient tank maintenance
• Oil-free, low-maintenance pump

I have used this compressor now for about three months. I am pleased with it's performance so far. The only main drawback is that it is quite heavy. This is made easier by the fact that the compressor can be split in two for transportation and other applications. The twin one gallon hotdog tanks can be separated from the motor and half gallon tank. You can have up to three different guns running at two different pressures (two from one pressure, one from another). This is really helpful when you are using different guns for different applications. Overall I am very pleased with this compressor and would recommend it to someone looking for a contractor grade trim compressor.

When the compressor showed up at my door, it had taken quite a beating from shipping. Using a mallet, I was able to straighten out the parts that were bent. However, the compartment that holds the air filter was cracked. I ended up just ordering a replacement part because it was so cheap (cost about $5 plus shipping). Once I get it installed, it should be in good condition again. Now, this is all because the item wasn't packed well enough. Ok, enough about the seller and shipping issues.

As for the compressor itself, I love it (this is why I rated more stars than not). I was able to fill the tanks, speparate them from the motor, and take it inside my house for some repair work. Quietest method. My kids that were sleeping could keep sleeping because there was not a motor to turn on. I have plenty of air in the 5 gallons (combined tanks) of air. I mostly used it with a brad nailer, but I did use the occasional direct air blowing to dust things off. I was able to do this because of the two air connections available on the front that are connected to the tanks. There is a third connection tied to the motor section had I needed another connection where I left the motor.

Anyways, I highly suggest this system. It has worked flawlessly so far for me. If it does fail or have an issue, I update this review. Todays date: 2/25/13

I am a contractor who has to have mobility in my set ups and this products gives me that, so far.

Stopped at 4 outta 5 stars because I just got this compressor and need more time to see how it will do, but if it is like my other ridgid tools I will expect the ssme gret results.

GREX AOS368 2-Inch 105-Degree Angle Random Orbital Sander

• Patented one piece housing design for more reliable performance
• Uses standard hook and loop sanding paper of your choice
• Ergonomic housing with thermal isolator for continual usage
• Santoprene Grip for superior comfort with a variety of applications
• Ideal for corners and tight areas that an inline sander can't reach

I really like this tool. It works very well for the purpose for which I bought itworking in tight places. I would further comment on a review I read BEFORE buying this tool. IT DOES REQUIRE A HIGH VOLUME OF AIR!! A "kiddie compressor" will not do! I have a 6 Hp/ 33 gallon compressor and it works OK for this tool. A larger system would be better. So, if you wish to use this tool with a small volume compressor, you may be dissapointed in the performance of this tool.

In the Canadian Woodworking magazine (Aug/Sep 08) it states this sander "is one of the few air sanders that can be operated on a portable air compressor" this is NOT true. This sander works less than one minute with a portable air compressor. I discovered later in the Woodcraft October Catalog that they note the sander requires a minimum of a 60 gallon capacity compressor or equiivalent to operate. I am sorry I bought this sander.

I'm a woodturner, and use this sander a lot for finishing bowls and other turned vessels. It's great for removing concentric scratches and tool marks that can happen when turning wood on a lathe. Mine has worked flawlessly in a busy shop for about four years so far. I keep it lubricated as described in the documentation and have had no problems with it at all. Yes, it requires a real compressor. The gallon and horsepower numbers mean nothing. If your compressor can't produce about 8 cfm of air at the required psi, expect it to run a lot. Previous reviews talking about "6 hp" compressors are going by the "peak" horsepower ratings, and not the actual running horsepower. If you're plugging your compressor into a 110v outlet, it's probably not gonna be able to keep up with this sander. (I know this because I used my Grex sander with a "6 hp" buzz bomb compressor for over a year before I got a compressor running a real 5 hp motor on a 40 amp 220v circuit.) If you've got a real compressor, this is a great tool.

I bought this to use with lathe spindle and bowl sanding. It works great! I have a 1.5 HP 20 gallon Emglo compressor and this tool works very well with this set up. I would definitley suggest not using a pancake compressor, but the 20 gal kept up. The ability to swap out sand paper quickly and easily with the hook and loop sandpaper is a nice feature. The sanding disc paper is not cheap, but does last a good while. The safety catch takes some getting use to the first few times, but then becomes second nature. The angled head allows you to get into tite spots very easily. I really like this tool and the price is very reasonable for the quality of the tool. Options are a 3 inch disc and an extension allowing you to get inside hollow forms. Great Tool!

This thing does not perform well at all! It spins well until you put against something and then it stops with very little pressure. I am running it with a large compressor (6 HP 30 gallon tank)with proper pressure and volume. It is almost useless. I wish I would have just bought a small angle die grinder instead. Don't waste your money on this tool!

Tru-Flate (17-547) 10-150 PSI Digital Straight-On Dual Foot Service Tire Gauge

• Swivel head design
• Same design and function as standard straight-on service gauge
• Easy to read backlit digital display
• Reads in PSI, bar, kilopascal and kilogram-force/cm2
• Swivel head design enables tire valves to be reached from all directions

I checked the readings against my other gauge of known accuracy, and it was within 0.3 psi very good. The backlight makes it easy to read in most light conditions; the reading is held so I can pull the gauge off the tire to look at it in awkward situations; and the end swivels so the valve stem on outside dual tires can be easily reached.

It does not have a valve for releasing excess air, but I can achieve the same thing by pressing it lightly onto the valve. That's slower, but acceptable to me.

It reads in 0.1 psi increments. I use psi, but other units can be selected.

• Secondary aspiration plus balanced valve provides quick response and accurate pressure regulation
• Rolling diaphragm for extended life
• Removable non-rising knob for panel mounting and tamper resistance

I'm using it as a drop down between 2 other regulators to protect my plasma cutters internal regulator from my shop air being cranked up to high. Works 100% perfect for that. Probably works great as typical regulator, but I can't say for sure.

• Straight magazine, accepts 18 gauge nails ranging in legths from 5/8-inch to 2-inch
• Easy access to the nosepiece for the removal of jammed nails without the use of screwdrivers or tool wrenches
• Part of the XRP DEWALT cordless system contact trip lock-off allows trigger to be disabled when not in use

Where has this puppy been all my life?!

I already had two 18v batteries so I didn't need the whole kit, so this worked out perfectly.

I bought the brads from the local hardware so I could inspect them I'm buying this to make my life easier and collecting a bunch of brads that came apart in shipping is not my idea of easier.

This thing... man I'm kicking myself for not buying it sooner. I had it in my head that this was just a novelty/nice to have item but I can do fine without it for the cost. Was I wrong. I can't express how much easier and faster this is, and leaves a much smaller hole. I've used it on trim (baseboard, casing, etc.) and even to face nail some HARD, thick flooring that I had to replace. Punches through with no problem and you don't have to worry about having room to swing a hammer, or use a countersink, splitting, etc. Hold it up, POP, done.

• Adjustable force

• Lights area when nose is pressed

• Nose has protective rubber piece so as not to mar surface

• As stated, nose piece easily pops apart to fix jams

• Decent balance to it once battery is on

• Easy to load/unload brads

• Basically what I've come to expect from DeWALT

I haven't tried the sequential firing setting yet so I can't comment on it.

What I can say is hold on to this thing, otherwise the brads won't sink properly. In fact, if the nailing surface or the nail gun are not secure when firing the nail won't penetrate properly (may be less of an issue with soft wood). Do some testing before hand to get a good feel for it and to get the depth set right, especially if you're doing something like flooring where you really want it right the first shot. I assume this is the same for any brad nailer, but this is my first so just throwin' it out there for anyone else in the same situation.

Just received my 18V-18 Gauge brad nailer and fired some test nails. What a tool! I've been using the 16 gauge finish nailer for a number of years and love it, too. When I first used the 16 Gauge gun, I called DeWalt to see if they planned an 18 gauge brad nailer and was told it was not in their plans, so I went with the Paslode gas fired gun.

The Paslode isn't a bad gun, but over the years I've had it repaired a number of times, and it's rather finicky about firing every time. It seems like it never fires the first time when you are in an awkward position holding precision pieces just so. The other issue with the Paslode is keeping fresh gas. They tell you to store in a cool place, which is impossible when your tools go with you everywhere and are continuously baked in the Florida sun.

This DeWalt brad nailer has none of those issues. It's a great tool, makes very little noise, and sets nails perfectly according to the variable depth dial. If you do finish carpentry for a living, don't leave home without it. At first look, it will seem rather large, but I can get it in any place that I used to get with my Paslode, or my old Bostitch air gun.

I use the whole line of 18V DeWalt tools (circular saw, jig saw, vacuum, impact driver, hammer drill, cutoff tool, 16G finish nailer)every day, so I invested in the Lithium Ion batteries. The Lithiums are far superior to the XRP batteries in charge time, operating time and longevity, so while I'm offering opinions, I highly recommend them as well.

With this unit, like its big brother the cordless Finish nailer, I don't have the hassle of loading up a compressor and hoses to do a small job. Production use? Not sure. If you wanted to put trim on a bookcase, shelving, etc. this is the unit. A bit bulky compared to pneumatic nailers, but hey, trade off seems worth it. Haven't gotten in to heavy or prolonged use so my review may change if I encounter problems in the future. Home craftsman? Buy it. Light maintenance/furniture refinishing? This will work nicely.

I had planned on buying a compressor and nail gun combo to do some trim work in my dining room and bedroom, and I found this Dewalt cordless nailer while doing some online research. After reading the reviews, I decided that this was what I needed. Since I already have two batteries and a charger from my Dewalt cordless drill, this seemed like a good deal. I couldn't be much happier with my purchase. I had feared that it might be too big and heavy but after using it, it's not a problem. It has plenty of power, battery life is great, it seems very well made, and I don't have to drag out a compressor and hose every time I want to put up some trim. Delivery was quick, and the price from Amazon was excellent. I'm very satisfied.

I think my title says it all.

I have owned the Dewalt nailer for 5-6 months now. I have remodeled our entire second floor including two bathrooms, 3 bedrooms all with base and crown molding and one room with chair molding, using this tool. I opt'd for the upgrade to the lithium ion batteries,(I got the drill driver/impact wrench set)and I love the longevity. I only have two batteries, but with charge times less than 1 hour per, and run times that far exceed that, I have never been without (even using the driver and nailer together).

The only down side to this tool is how silly you will feel for not buying it sooner. Seriously one if my favorite tools ever. I have owned a Bostich and Rigid nailer (corded to compressor) and I will never go back to dragging around a compessor. This tool uses NO cartidges, so you will save big $$ vs most competitors cordless CO2 models.

UPDATE 5-4-12

I have now lent my nailer to two friends, both of whom have gone out and bought one shortly after using mine. I can't say enough good things. I can't believe big box retailers don't carry this product. Congrats to Amazon for scooping up all the sales. This should be in any DIYers aresenal if quaility finishings are important to you.
