JET JAR-338 3/8-Inch NPT Air Regulator

  • 3/8-Inch connection port
  • Air pressure can be maintained by the steeples regulator accurately over a wide range of flows as necessary for each application

I was delightfully impressed with the regulator. I needed a decent regulator at a good price, this fits the bill perfectly. Works without a hitch, no leaks and it is easy to adjust and lock into place. I would recommend this regulator to others.

ordered to replace a pressure regulator on a porter cable compressor The jet regulator appears to be a lot better constructed than the porter cable regulator and has functioned well with my compressor. The porter cable regulator was much inferior to the jet regulator.

The ship time was way shorter than stated. This is an awesome tool. Pricing was fabulous. Best deal I found after 2 days of call around and Web searching.

Stanley G13301 Pattern Pistol Gun and Hopper

Stanley G13301 Pattern Pistol Gun and Hopper
  • 3/2-Inch and 1/8-Inch nozzles
  • Smooth, even coverage
  • Convenient trigger lock
  • 9 pattern orifice wheel
  • Hopper included

I purchased this gun for putting 'knockdown' on my kitchen ceilng and walls. I have had absolutely no experience in doing this before. It was a 'growth' experience. There is a plethora of information on the internet, videos et.al., but none gave a start to finish discussion of how to do this. In the long run, you have to experiment on some scrap material or a section of the wall that will be covered up (by cabinets etc.). I bought the 'knockdown' material from Home Depot and simply followed the mixing directions on the package.

I did the walls first. Great! the gun performed perfectly. It took a number of tries before I got the balance between the opening to be used (I used the 3rd largest hole ..next time I'll use the next smaller hole.), the amount of trigger pull needed ('winged it' mostly wide open) , and the pressure from my compressor (=< 40# ... less may be better). And that's the beauty of this machine.. it's so easy to change settings. I love the all metal construction of the gun and the hopper is made of very good plastic type material. Although there is a variable 'stop' that can be used to limit the amount of trigger pull, I was not able to find the right location...and so as I said I simply pulled it all the way back and relied upon the orifice opening

And now we come to the ceiling (and the reason for the 4 rating instead of the 5). This unit comes with a plastic elbow attachment which is supposed to allow you to tip the gun upwards whilst keeping the hopper vertical, to avoid spillage. Thinking back, I seem to remember an innocuous comment on one of the internet sites (not in the manual!) about tightening the lower part of the elbow attachment with a hose clamp. I really remembered that when the hopper popped of the gun and the material started running down my arm and onto the floor. The stuff was starting to set up so had to finish by trying to hold the hopper in place by putting pressure on it. Made for a sloppy and uneven ceiling job, which turned out to be passable. I did buy a hose clamp and it makes the whole ensemble rock solid ..... but com'on guys... for crying out loud, just put the hose clamp in with the gun... REALLY!

Bottom line: This is a great gun, better than those I saw in the home improvement stores (IMHO) and I would recommend it to anyone who needs to do knockdown on a large area. Just remember the hose clamp or the gun will remind you!

We first bought a cheap pattern sprayer and it broken after a couple weeks. We bought this one and it works great. Easy to take the gun apart and clean it after use. Multiple holes for changing the sprayer pattern. Easy to hold the bucket when doing the ceiling. The only problem you need an extra hole clamp for the 45 degree elbow or else it will fall off.

I had 2 Goldblatts for over 30 years until they finally wore out. I automatically ordered another Goldblatt.. Big mistake! I had modified the first 2 guns with a PVC 45 bend so the guns worked better for ceilings. This new gun has a "rubber seal" where the gun meets the hopper. The hopper is impossible to keep on the gun, even with the clamp provided. They have changed the size of the hopper and gun just enough so a PVC 45 ell no longer fits. The gun is OK for walls, but not worth a darn for ceilings because of the improper angle you have to hold the gun at to get the mud to flow to the gun. In 6 texture jobs, the hopper came off the gun 6 times. Such a nice mess when it does! I cut my finger trying to clean the inside of the gun due to sharp casting edges left in the gun. This appears to be a cheap Chinese mess.

Bosch FNS250-16 16 Gauge Straight Finish Nailer

Bosch FNS250-16 16 Gauge Straight Finish Nailer
  • Tool-less Adjustable Air Exhaust
  • Tool-less Selectable Trigger - Easily Switch between bump and sequential fire
  • Tool-less adjustable depth of drive - Adjust depth of drive on tool
  • Narrow Nose for Excellent Line of Sight and Slim Body for Better line of sight and better control
  • In-line self cleaning air filter - Keeps debris from the valve and o-ring improving life of tool

The depth adjustment was stuck on the first unit. Either a minor manufacturing defect or it happened in handling. No biggie; I'm expecting a replacement later today.

I used the compressor to control depth of drive and installed about 800-feet of base and door moldings around 1800 nails, 3/4-inch to 2-and-a-half inches, without a hitch even after bending a few 2-and-a-half inch fasteners into perfect "U" shapes when I hit a framing nail, there was never a jam, never a misfire, and never a problem.

Drove all but a handful of fasteners without using the no-mar tip and left no surface marks. These were painted moldings, and I would use the tip on stained millwork, just to be safe.

It is definitely not 20% smaller than competing units, but it is at least 20% more narrow than any of it's couterparts except (maybe) the new Paslode angled nailer. It allowed me to get into the tight corners without assuming a yoga position.

It seems to have less bounce than other 16-guage nailers. Not a lot less, but noticeable.

16-guage is a good compromise for those of us who do not own or do not want a 15-guage, 16-guage, 18-guage and 23-guage nailer hanging around. The Bosch works well at 60 psi with 3/4 inch nails, and I used it with fairly delicate 5/8 pine and white oak crown moldings from the big-box store without damaging the wood. If I were working on cabinetry, I would definitely want a smaller nailer, but this Bosch is a good compromise.

Four stars because it is too pricey. I'm glad I got it; and happy to replace the damaged/defective one with the same model, but really, for what you get, it costs too much.

There is no oil in the case, only a single no-mar tip, no practice nails, and not even a hose connector. And following a trend, the manual is mostly safety CYA's with very little additional information.

I recommend this nailer, with a caveat: there are less costly alternatives that are nearly as good.

The problem I am having with this nail gun is that removing nails is frustrating. In my line of work i change different size nails on one job.

Amflo 201D Standard Blow Gun with Rubber Tip

Amflo 201D Standard Blow Gun with Rubber Tip
  • Provides leak proof seal for blowing out lines
  • Rubber tip is excellent for body shops
  • Will not mar painted surfaces
  • 11 CFM @ 100 PSI

There isn't a whole lot to say in a review of a basic blow gun. This one is solidly constructed and performs as expected for blowing out saw dust, purging water from hoses, air drying parts, etc. The rubber tip, which is removable/replaceable, is helpful in forming an airtight seal with similarly shaped orifices. It has standard inlet and outlet sizes, so it mates well with other standard air hose fittings and blow gun accessories.

Just as pictured, it does not include a coupler to attach the blow gun to your air hose, so remember to obtain one separately.

I give it five stars because there's really nothing to criticize about it, other than perhaps...

...Made in China (which is not a knock on its quality, just information for those who might want to know).

I bought Amoflow because it was supposed to be a quality product. But the rubber nose piece fell off after 3-4 days. The lever is riveted and not secured with a screw, get's loose after a while. Not impressed.

I lost one of these on an off road trip and like to keep one in my garage and in the Jeep that way I'll always have one with me. It's great for blowing up air mattresses, blowing out air filters, cleaning tire beads etc. I've had one of these for a long time and after about 15-20 years you might have to replace the rubber tip. Great product.

This was a replacement for my previous one that lasted about 14 years. The rubber tip split on the old one. Other than that it's great.
