Blow Gun W/Tip Straight

Blow Gun W/Tip Straight
  • RUBBER TIP BLO GUN

It's a Milton. I expect top quality. The gun is excellent. Only problem was the rubber tip would not stay on. I don't need it so that does not bother me.

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.

This is a great unit. It arrived it what seemed to be new condition. I used it the very next day and cedar lined a closet using the Brad Nailer. Other than one Jam, it worked flawlessly. I believe the only reason that it jammed was that I forgot to oil it before using it. This will be used many times!!!

its fairly light weight and very powerful. so far, i've used it for trim, wood siding, crown moulding and a wood ceiling. the brad nailer jammed on me once so far. other than that it worked nicely.

Took a chance on a reconditioned item and the finish nailer I received with this set never worked at all from day one.

I called Bostitch and they sent me to a local repair shop. The guy could tell it was brand new so he had no issues fixing it for me for free. 3 weeks later I have my reconditioned reconditioned Finish nailer and all is well. Tank is light and portable with soft feet o as not to mar the flooring. The hose is the lightweight plastic one, but that is fine for my trim work around the house. I would recommend Bostitch again.

I was delighted with this purchase. I had committed to saving money by going with a factory re-conditioned product and was thrilled that it appeared to be like new with no sign of any blemishes, and It works like a charm.

I really like it. I have had zero problems with guns. The regulator on the compressor is a little finicky, and difficult to get set to a particular pressure. Other than that, it is great!

Stanley Bostitch CAP2000P-OF 6-Gallon 2.0 Peak HP Oil-Free Compressor

Stanley Bostitch CAP2000P-OF 6-Gallon 2.0 Peak HP Oil-Free Compressor
  • Oil-free pump requires less maintenance
  • 2.8 CFM at 90PSI with 150 maximum operating pressure for improved tool performance
  • Large 6-gallon reserve tank with ball-type drain valve for easy drainage
  • Impact-resistant composite shroud protects gauges against jobsite damage
  • Weighs only 38-pounds for portability

Got a great deal on this compressor, it's fairly

new, doing light duty around the house, so it has

not been tested very heavily. It's supposed to be

brand new, not refurbished, but the box it came in

made me question that, the box looked like it was

shipped around the world, and then the plastic carrying

handle on the top cracked on the first job in the

back yard in the first 2 weeks of use. It's supposed

to be brand new, and the plastic carrying handle

cracks in the first 2 weeks....what's with that?

Made me question the quality of construction of the

whole thing, it's a high pressure compressor for

goodness sake, but still using it, others swear by

it.

I've had mine for about two years, and use it mostly for putting air in our tires. Started a woodworking project this weekend and after the first few hours the pressure reducer has gone out, and the compressor no longer works. I now have to decide if I want to try to repair it or buy something different.

Do NOT purchase this compressor. Mine burned out with very little use. Others have had constant problems with the regulator. The pressure regulator is a piece of junk.

Bostitch used to be synonymous with quality. This compressor is garbage. Air chuck leaked almost immediately and was replaced, regulator always leaked. Cooling fan stripped out and exploded within a year. Fan was replaced. Motor has now died after only two years. When you can get a compressor, 3 nail guns, hose, bag, etc... for $250, I guess you shouldn't expect much, but when you are in the middle of a job, you can't afford for things to be breaking down. This compressor is not reliable.

My buddy owns this compressor, and has had it for at least 3 years. We do a lot of handyman work. He and I have run roofing nailers, framers, trim nailers, and used it pretty heavily throughout the years. Never had a problem that I know. The air regulator is stiff and not too dependable, but we don't usually turn the pressure down and just leave it at max, which is about 120 psi. There's not too many tools that can't take that pressure.

I like the fact that it is light and relatively quiet. So you can plug it in indoors and you can talk over it. It vibrates a little and wants to walk around on a slick floor, but oh well. It is too dependable to not give a high rating, although there are obviously compressors that put out more air.

Bostitch makes pretty good stuff, and this is no exception. The thing I like about it most is that it will start reliably when it is cold, and being oil-free it won't spill oil when tossed in the back of a truck crooked... which happens to be one of our favorite pastimes!!

Paasche 300T-000 Quick Application Tanning Spray Gun

Paasche 300T-000 Quick Application Tanning Spray GunThis gun works really nicely. I only have a small 1 gallon compressor with a 1/2 hp motor and after looking everywhere and not wanting to upgrade my compressor this was looking like the best solution. It turned out to be the perfect solution. This gun sprays very well with only about 15-20 psi. The spray is clean, without any globs or chunky spots.

I dont really understand why there are no review on this product anywhere online but I think that it is a great solution for at home tanning. I know that the gun is a little more pricy then a lot of other products but as soon as you have it in your hand you will understand why. There are no plastic parts other then the cup and everything is very sturdy and dependable. I can tell that this will last a long time.

I hope to see more reviews about this in the near future and thank paasche once again for its products.

So happy I bought this spray gun...I first tried spraying this gun with water just to see how it sprayed...it comes out in such a fine mist.....I have even sprayed myself with the ocean spray tan solution with no tint....I couldn't find any streaks anywhere....I actually was able to spray myself..and do it in about 5 minutes....with this spray gun I was able to reach even my back....the spray covers such such a big area with the fine mist...I've never done this before either....the only thing I did was watched some you tube videos on how to spray with this type of gun....I really recommend this because it really gives you an idea how to do it.....The gun is made so well....it's all metal....no plastic at all...when you use this gun you'll understand why it cost so much....it's commercial grade....the thing will last forever!!!
