Factory-Reconditioned Campbell Hausfeld FP209400RB 3 Gallon Oil-Free Hand Carry Horizontal Air Compr

Factory-Reconditioned Campbell Hausfeld FP209400RB 3 Gallon Oil-Free Hand Carry Horizontal Air Compressor
  • Small tank size for easy portability and storage
  • Easy to read gauges allow for easy monitoring of air pressure
  • Scoop handle makes the unit easy to carry anywhere
  • Perfect for inflation, stapling, air brushing

This compressor stopped working after I used it twice for light airbrushing. Turns out that you cannot run it on an extension cord, not even a heavy duty one. That was the first thing the manufacturer said when I called about the broken compressor. It doesn't mention anywhere in the compressor's manual that you cannot run it on an extension cord but it will void the manufacturer's warranty if you do. I also called one of the repair centers from the manufacturer's website: They recommended to buy a Maxus compressor instead. It's worth spending the extra $$.

It works great for it's size! I bought this to blow out the water from the trim on cars that I detail. It wasn't big enough to do a full car so instead of buying a much bigger one for $$$$ I went to Homedepot and got 3 10 gallon air tanks for $30 each and made a "custom" "air compressor system". Now it is awesome! One downside to my setup is that it's a 3 gallon compressor filling 33 gallons of tank...(it takes an hour). But thats ok because I can't wait for a compressor to refill so I just have one that's big enough and let it fill after I'm done.

Now the compressor itself is craaaaaaaazzzzzzyyyyy LOUD!!!! I measured it with a Db meter. It's about 110 Db which is the same as a rock concert. If you have it anywhere near where you work you will go def. My "custom" solution was I set it on the concrete floor of my garage and built a brick and mortar box around it with a sound proof foam lid 8" thick on top. I took the power supply from an old computer and the cooling fans and made a cooling system for it so it wouldn't overheat in the box. Now it's about 70 Db which is the same as a casual conversation. Nuf sed

I am sorry to say that I am very disapointed in the performance of the unit I received. It is slow and week when attempting to build up and recover psi, excessively noisy, and had pressure inconsistencies making the shortest of airbrushing strokes difficult. I have $10.99 diaphragm unit for inflating tires that outperforms this unit. If I had not become ill and been able to test the unit before return time expired, I would have requested a replacement or refund!

Item shipped from seller very fast. It is smaller than I thought it would be, which in my case is a good thing. I wanted something that could be stored in the house and moved as needed. It will primarily be used to inflate tires and toys for my nephew. It is a small compressor, so don't buy this thing thinking it will power an air ratchet or paint sprayer. It is very loud, so you may want to let it fill where it won't bother anyone or wear ear protection. Would buy again.

Amico Air Compressor Fitting Metal 2 Splitter Adapter Connector Coupler

Amico Air Compressor Fitting Metal 2 Splitter Adapter Connector Coupler
  • Product Name : Air Compressor Adaper;Color : Silver Tone, Blue
  • Female Thread : 11mm/ 0.43";Connect Pipe Diameter : 13mm/ 0.51"
  • Total Size : 7 x 6.3 x 3.7cm/ 2.8" x 2.5" x 1.4"(L*W*H);Material : Metal
  • Net Weight : 181g
  • Package : 1 x Air Compressor Splitter

I rated this a 4 because if I had the correct setup this would have worked great. I knocked off a star due to the poor description.

I am a little novice when it comes to different types of quick connects. Honestly I never thought there was. When I set up my shop everything I bought worked together and rarely had to make any changes. When I bought a new tool the male connector was always the same.

I am not 100% but I believe this particular fitting is considered an NPT Female quick coupler. They have ball barring inside the ends. Anyway, the point of this post is really to just make those novice like me do a little research to make sure you get what you need. Because this item takes forever to ship since it's coming from Hong Kong.

Hyundai HPA-AK17 Accessory Kit, 17-Piece

Hyundai HPA-AK17 Accessory Kit, 17-Piece
  • Includes built-in shut-off valve sealing in air when not in use
  • 1/4-Inch female NPT threads
  • Can be used with a number of accessories
  • Blow gun can be used to clean your work area, garage floor, and similar spaces Slim design allows for use in tight areas
  • Angled head allows for easy inflation

Looking at the picture you would swear that the connectors are made of brass, which they most assuredly ARE NOT! They are steel, and even though they seal well enough when used with PFE tape, they are not nearly the quality pictured. And the pressure gauge is one of the c h e a p e s t things I have ever seen. Feels like it will break if you look at it hard. The only things that seem like they are as pictured and also not total cheapo are the blower handle and the tire inflator. I only bought this particular kit because I needed to be able to use my new compressor, and it looked like a good quality kit. Don't let the picture fool you! Do not expect the connectors to be the brass ones pictured. If you read any of my other reviews you will see that I am not one to complain, or freely hand out bad reviews, but this kit just barely rated 3 stars to me. Hope this helps people make up their minds.

I purchased 3 of these units with great success. I installed them on an airline splitter. The fit and finish was very nice as well as the function. Many cheaper die cast couplers will have a leak or a poor fit when in use. These sealed nicely and coupled easily. Very nice product. I intend to purchase more. FYI, I run 140-150-PSI and they work well.
