First off, California Air has good customer service. My order arrived from the vendor damaged, obviously beaten up during shipping. It was leaking air. The paper work in the box indicated if there were any problems to contact California Air directly first. So I did. They emailed me a UPS label which I printed out. I shipped the compressor off to them and they repaired it and shipped it back. And they shipped it back double boxed to help protect it during shipping. It took about as long as if I had returned it to the vendor for an exchange, so I definitely could not complain. So 5 stars for the manufacturer's customer service. As for the compressor, 5 stars also. Your neighbors definitely will not hear it and someone in the next room probably won't either (The Mrs. can hear a sparrow fart from 30 yards and this compressor has not bothered her so far). It is not as quiet as the silent compressors marketed for airbrushing but it is pretty quiet. Sit it on carpet or a towel rather than hard floors and it becomes even more quiet. The only loud thing about it is the auto shut off when the tank fills to capacity. The auto shut off releases a rather loud hiss of air, which to my amusement, scares the daylights out of my nosy cat. And as for functionality, it is comparable (if not better) to the super silent ones for airbrushing. And at one third the cost of the silent airbrush compressors, you can't beat it. So, so far, I am happy with it.

This is the second air compressor I've purchased for our airbrush makeup business. I have had several Silent Compressors and this does the job for less than half the price. The first I purchased was used with up to eight airbrush guns, for 8-10 hours a day. Customers do not even know it is running when discussing the options, color, design ect...At peak times it has had to run with three brushes being used continuously for several hours and never overheated. Has been operated in extreme cold and into the high 80's. I highly recommend this compressor!

The manifold allows the use of multiple airbrushes simultaneously which avoids having to stop / clean / replace paint supply every time a change in color is needed.

I ordered this specific manifold because it said 3/8" inlet. I have two 3/8" hoses with 3/8" male threads on the ends, I didn't want to reduce to 1/4" before the split. The packaging even said 3/8" inlet, but it didn't fit. I had to use a 3/8" to 1/4" reducing adapter. The price is good and the fittings seem to be a decent quality, just don't order this item if you really wanted the 3/8" inlet.

Sharp looking item. My wife thought it was a rocket nozzle. Was almost in trouble for having a new hobby or career (Astronaut). Works as an excellent 3 way air splitter also.

  • Low 8 amp draw motor provides easy start-up and reduces breaker tripping;Lightweight (30 lbs), thin (10.5-inch) and compact design is easy to carry and store

UPDATE 8/6/2010: After frustration with the constant water problem, I have modified the tank plumbing to stop the vapor/droplet problem... I have now plumbed the compressor outlet to the bottom drain and the header is still fed by the air outlet alone. This is now putting the water vapor into the tank. It cost about $15 in plumbing parts, but at least when I use it to blow dust out of computers it is not spitting water into the electronics anymore...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Right to the point: This compressor, due to the way it is plumbed, produces A LOT of WATER that goes directly into the header, then into your expensive nailers...

Only workaround, without buying and rigging a water filter, is to tilt the compressor so that the header inlet is at a downward pitch and the outlets are at the top of the pitch. But add higher volume (framing nailer) and you will get water droplets/vapor no matter what position the compressor is in.

The problem is that there is only one fitting on the tank (besides drain) and the air that the compressor makes bypasses the tank and goes directly into the header and into your tool. Sadly, this air is LOADED with water vapor and quickly condenses into water. I get very little water in the tank as the air and water have to take a 90 degree turn to enter into the tank. Least resistance would just take the air straight through into the header during demand times.

The solution for DeWalt: add a second fitting to the tank so that the compressor directly feeds into the tank and then the other fitting goes to the header for use. That way the water enters and stays IN THE TANK.

Otherwise, this is a GREAT little compressor. Very portable and relatively quiet. Tough design. But I would not buy another unless that water problem is fixed by DeWalt. Maybe a less humid environment (I'm in Virginia) would fair better, but I think it is just the physics of compressed air... YMMV, as others seem to give it great reviews and do not mention the water entering the header...

After I use tools on this compressor, I then oil and use them briefly on my large, stationary compressor to blow out any water that has entered the tool.

This is a great compressor for what it is designed for which is finish carpentry. I really like the lower noise factor in the oilless design. My only dislike is they did not build this compressor with the intent to be able to attach a water vapor trap to prolong the life of pneumatic nail guns. I was able to put one on with some creative thinking and reconfiguration of the air flow which cost me my time and an extra 40 dollars. Aside from from the one dislikable aspect of the design this is still a great compressor.

(This compressor was refurbished when I bought it through Amazon) I typically am satisfied with Dewalt products and almost every cordless tool or saw I have are theirs. I feel like this compressor is one step above something from Harbor Freight. When I first got it it ran for the break-in period then wouldn't turn on. Got something electrical fixed by the nearest service center. Then after a few months of very light use it started leaking from somewhere around the piston. There's a metal tube that has a poor seal to the piston head. I took it apart and everything is cheaply made. So now it will fill to 130psi, and hiss like crazy for 5 minutes going back down to 0. I wanted quiet and light, but I'm thinking I'd rather lug around 50-60 lbs than a light weight piece of junk. *EDIT* After taking the compressor apart myself I found a check valve that was corroded and leaked. I ordered another one for $12 and installed it myself. By the way, the unit was missing several screws and the plastic housing was held together with two different sized allen screws that looked like spare parts. The compressor now works again but I was just about ready to throw it away.

This compessor was very quite and worked well for about 13 months then the motor started smoking. When I took it in for repair the cost was going to be almost as much as a new unit. Needless to say it sits in my shop collecting dust.

I do residential remodeling, so I'm always using a compressor--inside the house, or outside. I have a Porter-Cable 6 gallon pancake compressor that was part of a kit, and a good buy to get me started, but the PC is NOISY, so I hate to take it indoors. And it's relatively heavy. The DeWalt was just what I was looking for. It's quiet, and as it turns out, it usually has enough capacity to run either the brad nailer or finish nailer, regardless of the job (inside or out). Much lighter to pack and carry, too.

Campbell Hausfeld HU3510 1.2 HP 20 Gallon Oil-Free Wheeled Vertical Air Compressor

Campbell Hausfeld HU3510 1.2 HP 20 Gallon Oil-Free Wheeled Vertical Air Compressor
  • Operates over 14 air tools so you can sharpen lawnmower blades, rotate tires, perform engine repair and maintenance, inflate car and bike tires, paint furniture, install trim and molding, upholster furniture, build a deck, and more
  • Easy-to-use 2-in regulator knob with soft touch points for easy, more comfortable pressure adjustments
  • Easy-to-maintain tank drain with cup, conveniently located on side of tank (regular tank draining extends the life of your tank)

It worked great for about a a year and a half running a nail gun, airing tires, prep sanders, die grinders... Recently it started leaking air from behind the on off switch. It was very slow to build tank pressure, and once the tank pressure got up to about 40psi if it switched off, the compressor would not kick back on. The motor would just hum. It's about 6 or 7 months out of warranty so I took it apart. The main pressure line from the compressor to the tank attaches to a T & check valve assembly right at the lower port of the tank. That means just about everything had to be removed to get it off. Once apart I verified the check valve was stuck open. The check valve has a service port so I disassembled it and saw a small spec of rust on the valve & mating sealing service. Still not sure why it was stuck open but I cleaned it up and reassembled, now everything works again. If and when this valve gets stuck again I'll figure out a way to relocate that check valve so the compressor/motor doesn't have to be removed to service/clean the check valve.

START UP KIT IRTCSS3L3

START UP KIT IRTCSS3L3Purchased for my SS3L3 compressor, this kit was convenient for extending my warranty on the compressor. I've sense upgraded from the minuscule intake filter setup that comes on the compressor from the factory (and I recommend you do the same!) so the filters included with the service kit are no longer of use to me.

Also, I've found there are places to buy the same ingersoll genuine oil in full 1qt jugs for about 1/2 the price of this kit, so thats the route im taking now.

In a nutshell, the kit services your compressor if its all factory and extends warranty. If its not all factory and you're still buying this 'service kit', you're wasting money so look elsewhere.

Ingersoll Rand 121K6 Super Duty Air Hammer with 6-Piece Chisel Kit

Ingersoll Rand 121K6 Super Duty Air Hammer with 6-Piece Chisel Kit
  • Professional touch trigger for total control
  • Long-life tool with a tough one piece alloy barrel
  • Easy to maintain, with an "easy out" throttle valve assembly
  • Kit includes: a blow molded plastic case with a removable lid and 6 chisels
  • Air hammer comes in a blowmolded case with 6 chisels

I had to re-tile some bathroom floors, but ran into a problem. The ceramic tile was apparently put down with an adhesive that was meant to last 100 years. In the first bathroom I used a chisel and hammer to remove the tile by hand which took me a week to get the tile up. There had to be a better way so I bought this air hammer and gave it a try.

I was amazed how fast the tile came up with this tool. It works like a little mini hand-held jackhammer. I was able to remove the tile in just a few hours instead of a week doing it by hand. I am sure this handy little tool has many other uses that I may discover later, but for now I am very happy using it for tile removal.

There is one thing you must be aware of. This tool uses an air compressor. I only had a 1 gallon compressor which is not even close to adequate. I had to buy an 8 gallon and it worked great.

I wanted to chip some granite so I bought a 20 dollar Kobalt Air Hammer. Two shifts of four hours running it non stop pretty much trashed it. No umph left. OK, maybe I should have read the directions and added some lubricant. I did that before the second stint and the oomph was back but not for long. I might rebuild it when I get the spare time.

Meanwhile paid 86 bucks for the Ingersoll Rand and am quite happy. The job I am doing is nonstop brutal hammering of rock. The Kobalt I am sure can handle the light work but this Ingersoll Rand feels like it is going to last. More heft and more power. 4 good turns at the rock and it's still quite peppy. I am oiling this one from the start so this review might not be completely fair to the Kobalt.

Chisels from both fit the new hammer. Now if someone could point me to a chisel that fits this hammer which will not wear out I would be happy. I have to grind a new edge every hour or so and they are getting short.

First let me say I went on the cheap for my first air hammer and learned my lesson. This unit does all the usual things needed for around the home. Remove tile, chip out grout, punch a hole through concrete or concrete blocks, etc etc. It's not over nor under powered for those uses and it's reasonable weight makes using it easy. It doesn't overly vibrate and isn't overly loud during use. It works perfectly with my Makita MAC2400 Big Bore 2.5 HP Air Compressor with no real wait time for compressor recharge time beyond the normal pauses for clearing debris or moving about.

It seems about "just right" for typical home owner use.

UPDATE: After a year of use this hammer is still going strong. used it on an outdoor flagstone patio re-grout. (One of those jobs that looked straightforward but turned into a nightmare) It's spent many many hours removing grout, breaking up decaying concrete base and never once even stuttered. It did break a retaining spring but that's to be expected. One of those few tools that is solidly made and worth the money.

Nothing special about this. The spring that holds the chisel in broke on first use. Had to wait to use it until I could get a quick connect one on line. Not sure why the company would not include this for the price they are charging. Works adequately, not under powered but not overpowered either. Bought because reviews on this model were good. I guess I would say I do not agree wholeheartly with those folks.

I paid the high price for this product specifically to avoid buying a Chinese quality one. I have always used Ingersoll Rand tools in the shop and have had good experiences. When I received the tool, I immediately realized that it was made in China. Within an hour of using it, the bit retainer snapped. It was clearly made from Chinese grade recycled metal. a.k.a. they made it out of metal they got from melting down a used clothes drier with the lint still in it. I took it to a certified IR service center and they didn't have an IR replacement bit retainer, but they were able to give me a speed loader off of a similar brand display model that fit. By the end of the day the chisel I was using jambed in the speed loader. The metal was of such obvious low quality that it had deformed from the force of the tool itself. I used a dremel to trim down edge and got it working again. By the end of the second day the tool starting losing force despite being oiled regularly. I took it apart, cleaned it and got it back up to full speed. By the end of the job on the third day the tool was barely functioning and it didn't matter how much I cleaned it. Upon further inspection I realized that too much air was slipping past the hammer due to wear. Again, probably from cheap metal. I spent more time fixing this tool than actually using it; I should have just gone to Harbor Freight and bought one for $15.

Campbell Hausfeld HV2500 58 CFM Fine Finish HVLP Paint Sprayer

Campbell Hausfeld HV2500 58 CFM Fine Finish HVLP Paint Sprayer
  • HVLP fine finish paint sprayer with 2-stage tangential turbine and 2 air filters
  • Sprays light, medium, heavy-stains, varnishes, oil-based paint, and latex
  • Durable metal body, plastic hose
  • Includes spray gun, 25-foot hose, 2 needle/nozzle sets, wrench, viscosity stick, strainers, cleaning brush
  • 12-1/2 by 22-1/2 by 12-1/2 inches; 32 pounds; 3-year limited warranty

I've had this unit for a couple of years now...and in short it's priced fairly. Not too great but not too bad. It got me started with HVLP. It just does not have enough power for shooting any thick (even kinda thick) finish. If you just want to shoot waterborne poly it works fine.

I wanted to shoot paint and oil based poly. For paint, forget it. Even with the heavy needle it just shoots splatter. For oil based poly it can't shoot a smooth even finish. With the heavy needle in it you get orange peel.

It was a good intro machine for me, but I ended up going for the top end

Accuspray on the second go round. Triple the price but you get professional results (why waste your time spraying if you get sub-par results?) and 3M's PPS which makes clean up a breeze. You know it's hard to justify the price for an expensive unit but think how many hours you have into your project. Why risk an average finish on it.

I have tried HVLP conversion guns in the past...Well, cheapy ones and was left dissapointed. A bathroom project that consisted of spraying a significant amount of Urethane and a bathtub with Acrylic polyurethane was on my list so I needed an HVLP and decided I wanted a turbine. Not wanting to invest alot of money I did a tremendous amount of research and decided on the HV2500. Although it is only a 2 stage unit I was satisfied with the specs and decided to give it a try. This unit comes with a fine and general fluid set. For an affordable $15 I bought a thick coatings fluid set should I attempt latex.

I used the Fine fluid set for the clear urethane which came out fantastic with great atomization and no runs. For the white Acrylic Polyurethane on the bathtub I used the general fluid set with satisfactory results. I got some orange peel but I blame that more on lack of experience than I do the HVLP itself. I need more practice spraying and getting the settings just right. The gun is reasonably easy to clean and should last a while so long as your not using this commercially. The unit comes with a 25' hose which is great to afford you the ability to keep the unit far away from the spraying vacinity and since they sound like vacuum cleaners the farther away the noise the better.

Overall if your looking for a decent HVLP with good parts availability at a really good price, give the HV2500 a try. It may suprise you.

Bought the CH HV2500 to paint all the cabinets in my house. Had never used a sprayer before. Took me six days to prepare the cabinets (remove hardware, wash, sand, prime, tape off face etc), and only about three hours to spray the whole job, 62 cabinets. I sprayed acrylic latex. The hardest part was in getting this thick paint thinned down to the correct viscosity. I also used Floetrol to help the latex lay flat. Once I discovered the correct mix, the CH HV2500 put on a mirror-like finish. I am very happy with this product.

we've been waiting to purchase an hvlp sprayer and have been experimenting with much more pricey outfits (1,000-2,000)We were in a pinch and decided to buy this outfit because we needed one asap. we figured it would hold us over till we could get one of the outfits we had been looking at purchasing. what a surprise! this is a great hvlp. we've used it numerous times now. no hassle to set up. no hassle to use. no hassle to clean. the hose is great for getting behind larger pieces and the spray flow is perfect to use with lacquer or poly. (although the 2 stage won't accomodate paint) we are so happy with it that we are going to stick with this one!

It takes practice to achieve great results to this system. The manual is very poor. I would not consider purchasing a cheaper system.

I'm spraying latex which needs to be thinned with water to look like chocolate milk. I also add Flotrol to help level out the finish. Don't expect to be spraying like an expert on your first try. However, after my third or fourth attempt I was happy. I'm assuming the finish will only improve as I get familiar with thinning paint and using the system.

The finish looks great but the application of paint seems to take forever. It does beat using brushes and/or rollers. There is hardly any overspray. I'm using it to spray custom cabinets/tables, etc.

...no one said finishing would be easy...this just makes it a little easier...
