If this Porter Cable staple gun works for a very long time without breaking down, I will be most satisfied. I am building a boat and have a way to go.

The gun is very lightweight and easy to handle. It loads easily. I am using 5/8" staples. Press the release, slide the slide open, and load staples. Close the slide and allow it to snap shut. In front of the trigger a wheel allows the operator to set the staple deeper or shallower into the material, depending on use.

I purchased poly line separately and hooked up to a tiny compressor. After shooting ten or so staples the compressor turns on but manages to always keep up.

AUGUST 30, 2012 UPDATE:

After firing 21,000 staples, the gun broke. But to be fair with Porter Cable, I must add that I work with epoxies and use the gun to staple down plywood that has been epoxied. Therefore epoxy gets on and in the firing point of the gun. When purchasing a new stapler, I reordered the same Porter Cable gun on August 28th, 2012. That speaks better for my overall satisfaction, than anything.

Works very well at the prescribed air pressure. It never misses a lick. I use this gun every day building cabinets, jewelry boxes and other things. I have the 18ga brad nailer as well. The perfect pair in my little shop.

Porter Cable Crown Stapler is a great tool. You need an air compressor to operate, but the staples are easy to load and the tool has a good grip and a solid trigger button. Well worth the price.

Eagle 1215 Type II Red DOT Transport Safety Can with 1" Spout, 5 gallon Capacity, 15.75" Height, 12.

Purchase this after looking for a gas container that will last; believe me it will last. The only remorse i have is that it is far bigger than the picture on amazon, bigger is fine if you will be using 5+ gallon per week, but it is heavy.... One other note... the safty feature that the "goverment" mandated tank sucks!!... this unit is not for use by my wife.... safty at your own expense i suppose....

Not much to say about the nails They are exactly as described and fit my Bostitch nailer.

Sadly, Amazon shipped them loose in a cardboard box. The factory package broke open and the 4" sticks of nails were broken into 1/2 to 2" clumps. They still work, just more of a hassle loading.

This nail fits the nailer and does the job well. Only problem is related to shipping these. The extra denity/weight requires better packing materials to cushion the rough handling. They arrive with the nail packages all broken and the nails split up and randomly strewn in the over package.

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

• 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.

Honeywell TH6220 FocusPro 6000 5-1-1 Programmable Heat Pump Thermostat

• Selectable to 5-1-1 (Weekdays, Saturday, Sunday) or 5-2 (Weekdays, Weekend) programmable thermostat
• Large, clear, backlit display - easy to read in various lighting conditions
• Adaptive Intelligent Recovery - ensures programmed temperature is reached by programmed time

I originally bought a single-stage Honeywell Digital Thermostat, but it was the wrong one. Apparently I needed a two-stage thermostat for a heat pump. This thermostat did the trick and was easy to install. It has a number of enhanced features that allow you put it in an automatic setting so you don't have to switch between heat and cool. A great two-stage digital thermostat for the money!

Very Versatile Thermostat. Will easily program to work with a number of different types of systems such as heatpump, oil and gas, electric, multistage units. I am very impressed with this one. Highly recommended!

I had this thermostat for about a month on a new furnace before replacing it with a TH7500D so I could have 7 day program-ability. It kept very even temps and is fairly easy to operate.

Be forewarned however that the ease or difficulty of the installation has almost nothing to do with the thermostat itself. It is determined by the equipment you have installed and the manner in which they were installed. Have a simple furnace wired using the standard scheme and it will be 15min easy. Have a heat pump with a two-stage fossil fuel backup,two stage AC that was installed by a non-conformist plumber and it may take a while to sort out. Use the labels include to label the wires as they are removed from the old. If your equipment or wire combo isn't in the install instructions call tech support.

You must use the manual to program it the first time because the screen just shows you a code that means nothing without the manual.

The instructions are very vague and do not help you at all. Had professionals confused. However after paying the $60 installation fee and working just fine now saved money on electricity bill.... Remember you have to program this thermostat for Heat Pump if you want it to work!

This model is normally not available to homeowners....only contractors...It is FAR superior to the same Focus Pro 6000 available to homeowners at your local hardware store. I highly recommend this model even though they say homeowners should only allow a licensed contractor install this unit. It has MANY awesome features that do need to be set properly, but I disagree with other reviewers who said the instructions are hard to follow and engineers and contractors could not understand the directions. I am not in the heating and air biz...I am not exactly Mr. Know it all...if I could figure this out so easily, anybody should be able to...The set-up and wiring was very easy.....It took me about 3 5 minutes to remove my old thermostat and wire this one up....very easy..(I have a 2/1 stage unit with emergency and aux heat, cool and etc..)....I was really sorta shocked it was so easy to wire up and the instructions were very clear, although not really needed..this is like the thermostat for dummies.....awesome features, but very, very easy for anybody to install, set up, program and etc.....After wiring the unit I went in to set-up....It was a breeze...lots of features...very easy to figure out how to set up all features, activate them, deactivate them and etc.....Only had it for 3 days now but so far I absolutely love it and would highly recommend this model. Do not be swayed by the talk of it being too hard to figure out and buy the homeowner model instead. There is no comparrison between the two...They are similarily priced, but this model has so many more features and is very easy to use.....And the features on this not available on the homeowner model will seriously save you some money and works very well to "work with your unit to ensure optimal efficiency as well as 'protecting' your system". I got mine for $50 which was actually cheaper then the Focus Pro 6000 'homeowner model' sold at Home Depot. And again, there is no comparrison...This model is so much better and is very easy for anybody to figure out...If I could do it so easily, I find it hard to believe that engineers and so called experts could not figure this out.....I mean it is so easy I just cant believe the reviews that say experts could not figure it out....Buy this model....you will not regret it and if you got past the 3rd grade, you wont have any problems installing this unit and setting it up....If I could install it in about 3 5 minutes, anybody can....Setting it up took about 10 15 minutes (probably less, but I was double checking every setting) as it does have about 20 or 30 'features' that need to be set...but each setting was a breeze and easy to understand....Once done, you just need to play with your scheduling to find the right temps and right schedule for your lifestyle...Lastly, since installing this I am now wondering if my old thermostat (was not that old...was a very nice programmable Bryant that I had no complaints with) was not "In Sync" with my heating/cooling system or maybe it was, but this models features make everything work better...My system now heats faster and cools faster in far less time and the unit runs about half as much as before I installed this unit...I am thoroughly impressed after only 3 days..well today is actually day 4......Great unit!!!
