Amflo, 112, Hose 3/8X12In. F/ Amf100 Series Tire Inflators

I AM ABLE TO DO ALL THE DOTS THAT I WANT IN DIFFERENT SIZES!! LOVE IT CAUSE IT HAS A VERY TINY TINY ONE TOO

Expectations were exceeded. Item arrived earlier than expected and the hose fit without having to make any adaptations. It is more flexible than the one it replaced, so I do not expect the outer casing to crack as the last one did.

• 78 dBA (tested per ISO3744) operational noise level for a quieter work environment
• Ehp Efficient high pressure technology delivers exceptional air-tool runtimes
• Oil free, maintenance free pump for convenient use

Two weeks ago, I purchased this item from BrandNewEngines. It was supposed to be factory reconditioned to new specs. Somehow, I doubt it. It arrived in a beat-up box, packed with various random pieces of broken styrofoam in a vain attempt to keep it in one place in the box. Judging from the wear on the wheels, this thing had been used for a while--the date on the tank was 2008, which puts this compressor nearing 2 years old. Who knows how many hours are on it.

To make matters worse, after unpacking the unit , I hooked it up, hoping it ran better than it looked. It ran, charging the tank. And it ran, and it ran, and it ran. And them the emergency valve vented the excess pressure. Nice. Not only old and beat up, but busted to boot.

I've tried repeatedly to contact the vendor with no luck. They seem to specialize in ignoring emails and ducking phone calls. Since they are an "external supplier", Amazon won't help with this issue. Something to think about when you buy. I've never had a problem with Amazon that hasn't been made right, and I've never had a problem with a vendor where Amazon does the fulfillment that wasn't made right.

I'll keep trying, but I suspect I've just made a $300 mistake that will not be made right. Learn from it, and just go buy a new one instead.

Buy Factory-Reconditioned DEWALT D55168R Heavy Duty 15-Gallon Portable Workshop Compressor Now

Received initial order for compressor and packaging was pathetic. The compressor arrived with broken pieces falling out of the box. Portion of the cast aluminum compressor housing that attaches to protetive shroud was snapped off and cannot be prepared. There was paint overspray all over wheels and rust on pressure tank. There appears to be no quality control or pride at the vendor. This is the MOST UNPROFESSIONAL and pathetic shipment I have ever received from Amazon. I ordred replacement unit and it arrived shipped UPSIDE DOWN in box with no protection. The replacement unit is completely broken upon arrival and does not even work. Now I have two broken compressors. The initial unit still runs, but I am concerend about its quality. Not sure what to do now... QUALITY IS GARBAGE!!

By the way... I still love AMAZON. It is the best! I know they will take care of me in the long run, but I am not happy about this specific purchase.

A few scuffs here and there. A little over spray from the factory recondition. Otherwise, the unit appears to perform perfectly. No pressure loss. A great buy IMHO.

I received my compressor in good time. I think the reconditioned paint job had something to be desired. Once I had turned the compressor on it filled the tank with air as expected. After the compressor had filled and it shut off I could hear air leaking somewhere. I tracked down the leak and with 1/8th of a turn with a Cresent Wrench the leak was stopped. This leak could have been caused by the truck ride. Overall, I'm very pleased with the compressor.

I had purchased a compressor at Wal-Mart 2 years ago that came with 71pc tool set and the compressor wouldn't run any of the air tools it came with. My new DeWalt Compressor runs all of my tools (not all at once)(Ratchets, Impact Guns, Spray Gun, Die Grinder, Drill, Air Hammer, Nailer, etc...). Sold my old compressor at a Garage sale for $100 an this new compressor cost only $289 (kept the 71pc tool set).

Whistler Pro-3000W 3,000 Watt Power Inverter

I have purchased many inverters for my service truck, RV, boat, and emergency home backup, and this is what I have learned...

Buying a large inverter is confusing. Most people want their inverter to run the "continuous" loads that they have, plus have enough surge power to start air conditioners, microwaves, sump pumps, etc. Seems simple enough, but when they purchase an inverter, usually it can't handle the startup surge they were hoping. Herein is the problem: most people don't understand "Surge Duration".

Most inverters can put out more than their rated "continuous" output for surge. But the question is: How long can the inverter provide that surge? The vast majority of consumer inverters can only provide surge for 2 seconds with most less than 1 second! This is totally inadequate for hard starting appliances. I have measured the surge on my 2 hp air compressor, and it lasted about 5 seconds before it settled out to its "continuous" wattage. My 1000 watt microwave settles down at about the 3 second mark.

So what to do? Always look for an inverter with a long surge duration. The bigger inverter companies sell them, but they are usually labeled "Industrial" or "Commercial", and are much more expensive.

Which brings me to the Whistler Pro Inverters. Whistler Pro's have something they call "Smart Surge Control" that provides the surge wattage for close to 10 seconds. That is the longest I have found of any low priced consumer based inverter. I gave several a shot, and they work as advertised! They have more than enough surge duration to start my hard starting appliances like A/C, microwave, air compressor, large power tools, sump pump, etc. My 3000 watt Whistler (5000 watt surge) can start my hard starting RV air conditioner with no problem while also running my microwave!

...So add up your continuous wattage needs. Then find the wattage of your most surge hungry appliance (here is a great chart w w w.g e n e r a t o r s a l e s.c o m/w a t t a g e-c a l c u l a t o r.a s p ) and size your inverter based on those calculations.

Example:

Rated running watts ("continuous") of my lights + fridge + sump pump = 1440 running watts

Largest Surge wattage appliance is my big sump pump = 2700 surge watts

Pick the inverter that is above both ratings, in this case I would get a Whistler Pro 1600. It is rated at 1600 watts running continuous, 3200 surge.

Remember: inverters require VERY HIGH current, so the 12v cables have to be VERY large to work correctly. For larger inverters (1500 watt+) the cables need to be LARGER than the cables you see on your car battery. Large cables are expensive, stiff and heavy, but are a MUST! Your inverter will NOT run correctly without them! Follow the cable sizing guides, and don't skimp or you will be disappointed with your inverter's performance! I cannot stress this enough. Also, keep the 12v connectors clean and tight for reliable power.

Lastly, let's talk about your batteries:

Home backup, off grid or RV (large) inverter use requires more than one deep cycle battery, usually many more. Check with an inverter pro to size your battery bank correctly BEFORE you purchase your inverter.

For those of you that are running an inverter in an idling single battery vehicle, the vehicle alternator makes your battery look bigger than it is. In my truck I have a 165 amp alternator with a 1600 watt continuous inverter. It works terrific with the engine idling. I just don't use the inverter with the engine off. The continuous large current draw on an ordinary car battery will shorten its life considerably if the engine is not running. I could install a battery isolator with a second battery, but if I leave the truck idling, that isn't necessary. Remember, BIG cables, TIGHT clean connectors!

I hope this helps you with your inverter buying quest... Good shopping ;-)

Added on Jan 2 2013...

Just to clear up some confusion about using an inverter in a running vehicle:

If you draw more amps than the alternator can produce at idle, you will drain your battery. Once the battery voltage drops below about 10.5 volts, the inverter will shut itself down. Most alternators produce about 30%-40% of their output at idle. High output replacement alternators are readily available. Just Google "high output alternator". Be sure to increase the size of the alternator hot wire if necessary to support the higher amps of the replacement alternator...

Before reading, this is meant as a review and not a guide. However, I put some tips that worked for me, but this doesn't mean they'll work in another individual's situation.

BACKGROUND STORY:

Living in the NJ/NY area, we don't see a lot of hurricanes or even tropical storms. Once in a while, Mother Nature decides to give us a taste of what one can do. Originally being from MA and also living several years in eastern NC, I've seen what damage they can do. I knew some type of backup power may be necessary. Without operation sump pumps in my basement, it would certainly flood. As Hurricane Irene came bearing down on NY/NJ expecting to arrive on Saturday night, early Thursday I frantically looked for a generator. Home Depot, Lowes, Sears were already sold out across the northeastern seaboard. As you can imagine, they don't stock a lot here. Then I had an idea. A POWER INVERTER! I quickly logged on to Amazon and looked for a 3000W that could handle my two sump pumps. I paid the extra shipping fee to guarantee arrival by Saturday morning. Sure enough it arrived when promised. THANKS, AMAZON!

Well, needless to say Irene hit my area with a massive amount of rain. Eventually our local substation flooded and I had no power. The sump pump wells started to fill quickly. Thanks to my power inverter, I was able to react! I hooked it up and got those pumps running saving my basement. I saved my neighbors basement too!

So what does this inverter do? Basically it inverts power from DC (i.e. a car battery, marine battery or deep cycle battery) to AC (110V) which your appliances need to run. In the case of the car battery hook up, your car acts as a generator (recharging batter via alternator when your car is running).

THE SET UP

I knew very little about this type of equipment, but it was surprisingly easy to set-up. I followed the instructions as listed in the manual. I have replaced car batteries in the past, so maybe that's why this seemed fairly straightforward to me. If you're not familiar with car batteries, you may want someone to assist you. Be safe!

MAKE SURE YOU PURCHASE WIRES! I am referring to the cables/wires that lead from the inverter to your car battery. I didn't purchase them when I bought the inverter. I had to go to the local auto parts store and beg them to build me two about an hour before the storm arrived. This included purchasing the wire and having the proper ends added and crimped which requires a special tool. See manual for gauge required. It depends on the length of wire you need.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE GROUND WIRE (see manual for specs)

THE USE

Once hooked up to your car battery, follow the proper procedure for start-up. Then you just need to plug in your appliances into the 3 outlets provided.

Insure all connections are good!

Turn on inverter and your appliances should be powered!

Fairly simple, right?

TIPS

Purchase Whistler power cables when you purchase the inverter. If you don't, then bring the inverter and manual to a local auto parts or auto electrician to build the wires for you.

If using your car battery, one obviously doesn't want your car running in an attached garage/area without proper airflow AND ventilation. I unfortunately (?) have a detached garage which was a blessing in this case. I had my car half way in with it's tail end sticking out. Kept everything dry and no worries about asphyxiation.

You don't need the car running all the time. However, depending on the appliances you're using and how much you're using them will determine the amount of drain you'll be pulling on your car's battery. If the voltage from your car battery gets too low, the inverter will shut down and an alarm will sound. Nothing will be getting powered once this happens. You'll need to turn off the inverter, start your car engine and turn inverter back on.

Keep an eye on the voltage usage and wattage usage frequently. The alarm is not that loud, so if your neighbor is running a generator you may not hear it.

If running several appliances at once, you may need to some "power management". I was switching in and out pumps in order to avoid any overload (I was also helping a neighbor drain his basement).

Do some homework on the appliances that you're planning to run. Make sure you understand the wattage each needs to run. Remember, certain appliances like sump pumps and refrigerators need a lot more wattage to start-up than run continuously. For example, when my sump pump would start up it would pull close to 2000 Watts. Once it was running, it was only use 700 watts. So imagine your refrigerator and 2 sump pumps happen to start at the same time. You'll probably set off the auto shutdown. So just be aware of those situations.

When turning your inverter on after a shutdown, unplug all cords. Then plug one in, wait a bit, then plug in another...etc. Again, you don't want all appliances starting at same time (even though the 3000W has something like a 5000W peak...why push it???)

BOTTOM LINE:

I would recommend this item!

Porter-Cable FCN200 Pneumatic Flooring Cleat Nailer

• Drives -inch shape cleat nails from 1-1/2-inch to 2-inch
• Pneumatic driving action consistently drives fastener for better finished installation
• Unit comes fully assembled and ready for use right out of the box
• Strong, lightweight, die-cast aluminum housing
• Non-marring base allows user to drive fastener close to wall;Better balance for stability - tool sits upright for smoother floor installation

This is a great must have tool for DIY wood floors. While every company that's in the tool business seems to make a nailer (Senco, Bostitch, etc.), what sets the Porter-Cable apart is it's balance and civilized look. The look doesn't matter, but if you don't want to mar the wood floors by having a tool keel over and damage the floor, then this is the tool to get.

The "last nail" comment is a very true. If you try to drive that single last nail, unpredictable results may occur. In my case, I had to throw the piece away (actually cut it for the closet), since the last nail went in almpst parallel to the surface of the wood and skimmed the finish off the top. If the wood hadn't been there, it probably would have shot across the room.

Finally, although the pneumatic nailers save you from backbreaking hammering, the nose takes more than just a light tap. A slightly sharp wack will drive the nails perfectly. Too soft and the nails don't get driven all the way. Too hard, and I'd be afraid that the tool would get damaged.

One more item to note is that depending on the hardness of the wood flooring, you will have to adjust the air pressure to prevent cracked tongues. This isn't a FCN200 issue, but just generally true overall.

Highly recommended.

Review Update:

After 4 years or so, the tool is still as good as the first day I bought it. My initial personal project was about 800-1000 sf. I'm now past 2500 sf (helped two friends install their floors in family/living rooms) installed and another 1500 sf or so more to go for my own house.

This is a professional tool and the quality shows. I haven't had to have it rebuilt or order parts. Clean it ocassionally and use oil and an air filter and forget about it.

Review Update 2:

Still going strong after 7 years now. In fact, I had some floor professionally installed (about 2,000 sf) and the Ramm (something or other) that the installers were using broke on them. They ended up using my nailer for the last 1,500 sf. The installers commented that they liked the FCN200 nailer better.

Review Update 3: (28-NOV-2012)

After over 10 years of use and 1000s of square feet of installed wood later, the nailer has developed a small leak in the nose. I suspect it's because I've lent the nailer out quite a bit and have been remiss in cleaning and maintaining it after each return. Regardless, I purchased a kit on the internet for sub $20 and have replaced the O-ring. Everything seems to be on-track once again. No leaks and the nailer functions as it always has. $20 repair after 10 years of very regular use is stellar in my opinion.

Buy Porter-Cable FCN200 Pneumatic Flooring Cleat Nailer Now

I read another review of the last cleat problem. I had several instances where the last cleat damaged the job before I realized what was happening, the tool also "dropped out" as many as four of the last cleats. One set of four got jammed in the mech. and was necessary to disassemble tool.I called the Porter Cable factory they said, "never heard of that problem, the tool should drive the last cleat".They did reccommend that I take it for warranty repair. I examined the pusher mechenism and could see the reason as the pusher does not go completely forward to push cleat against wall of dispenser. The pusher also hangs up at the last four or five cleats because of the latching arrangement causing the cleats to drop out. A visit to my local tool store showed the same conditions on the same model. I am using the tool to install brazilian cherry which is very hard, there is no problem in that respect it drives the cleats home every time and the tool is easy to use. I have been using Porter Cable products for 20 years and never had a problem before. If they re-design the pusher and refit the tool I will give it a 5 star rating.

Geez, it looks so easy on TV, but I was getting horrible results with 5/8 bamboo. The tool would shift when I hit it, the bamboo was splitting and the nail was hitting on the end of the tongue, so that the next board would catch on the nail.

First of all, order the right cleats. 1 1/2in for 1/2 or 5/8 material, 2in for 3/4 or bigger material.

After studying the instructions again and again, I saw a diagram at the end of the setup instructions, showing the base plate resting flat on the board, and the nose of the tool sitting on the tongue of the board. The diagram wasn't referenced in the instructions. My tool certainly didn't do that -it looked like it might have been set up for a 3/4 or 23/64 thick material. I shimmed up the base plate (the plastic part that rests on the board you are nailing) with about 1/8" inches of paper, and everything looked great. From there, the tool worked flawlessly, drove the nails just where they should be, no splitting, and drove them deep enough that the next board didn't get hung up on the previous board's nails.

So I hope that PC might add some instructions on shimming up the base plate or better yet, ship plates of different thicknesses. Otherwise, its been a great tool.

So far, this has proven to be well worth every penny. It works flawlessly every time, with one exception: make sure you never try to fire the last nail. If it doesn't fall out, it will fire in an unexpected way. I wasn't paying attention to the nail stock, and it fired the last nail just under the finished face of the wood, ruining it. What a pain it was to have to dig out that piece of wood and replace it. I am much more careful now! The foot has a thick teflon (or similar material) layer attached so it never scratches the wood, and even the alignment blade seems to be pretty forgiving when you miss the edge and drag it over a bit of the surface of the wood.

Overall, this is a great product, and I would recommend it to anyone installing wood flooring, although I wish it came with a case...

I bought the Porter Cable nailer based on the reputation of their tools and reviews. It performed very well, easy to use and drove the cleats effortlessly. I put down 5/8 bamboo over about 225 sq feet, on top of 3/4 T&G underlayment. The only times it did not drive perfectly were if I did not tap the button firmly and keep the trigger down. On one occasion I let it run out of cleats, and the last cleat tried to go in upside down. Not good, fortunately it was a short piece that I could pry out and discard.

THe bamboo flooring is somwhat brittle compared to similar oak, and I was concerned with splitting. Some of the cleats did show cracking, but the cleat design holds firmly and I was able to use fewer cleats than I expected.

I can't say yet how well it holds up in production use, but for a serious DIY project with hardwood flooring this tool will do very well.

Arrived in nice condition, appears to be well made, wasn't powerful enough to handle blowing out my irrigation system but I knew it probably wasn't enough cfm's to handle that job, though it did pop the heads on 2 out of the 7 zones. Seems sturdy, has a pop out breaker on the engine which I didn't see right away, so if you trip it be looking for that. My 15 amp outlet had trouble with blowing the breaker in my breaker box, but the 20 amp outlet I tried next had no problems. If you are going to use an extension cord make sure it is heavy enough gauge.

12/6/12 update

Still own this compressor, still functions fine but the amount of air it leaks after filling is more prevalent now than when I first got it. I think the quality of fittings is just not that great on the unit. You are suppose to empty a compressor tank when you are done using it anyway, but don't buy this thinking you are going to fill it once a month (or week) and use it repeatedly off that fill.

Ramsond CUT 50DY 50 Amp Digital Inverter Portable Air Plasma Cutter Dual Voltage

• Automatic Dual Voltage/Dual Frequency (110/220v 50/60Hz)
• Integrated Digital Display of Current (Amps) and Pressure Gauge
• Integrated Pressure Gauge Display
• 60% Duty Cycle
• Max Severance Thickness: 1-InchMax Cut thickness: 3/4-Inch

Ordered from Amazon on Monday and received on Friday. Four days from Michigan to Missouri is fast shipping.

This machine was packaged well enough to be air dropped if necessary. The outside box was lined with Styrofoam. The inside box was lined with about 1" thick foam that was made to fit the cutter.

It came with everything except an electrical plug which makes sense because it will work on 110 or 220 so there is no way for them to know what type plug to send. I wired mine for 220.

The first thing I cut was some 1/8 " steel. It zipped right through that. I then tried some ¼" with no problem. The next thing I cut was ½" steel. I got through it but I had to take it easy. I didn't have anything thicker but with my lack of skill I'm not sure I would tackle anything thicker than the ½".

I also tried some very thin steel and it did a great job with a low amp setting. 1/8" and ¼" aluminum cut with no problem.

I don't have a steady hand so most of my cuts looked pretty rough but the machine cuts so fast with no resistance it was hard to get a straight cut. Anyone who has used a cutting torch will know what I mean.

I still don't know how they can produce this much cutting power in a 25 pound machine but they did. I am impressed with the machines quality and performance

I was a little apprehensive to purchase this plasma cutter because of the price, but I'm so glad I did. Ordered on Monday and got it Thursday. Right out of the box (after attaching the air filter and adding a 115v plug to the cord) I was cutting 18 ga. floor panels for my 54 Ford Victoria. I was impressed! I learned to use a piece of angle iron to cut straight edges. I later cut 1/4 inch angle iron like a hot knife trough butter. For those whom rebuild cars, I highly recomend this cutter.

Want Ramsond CUT 50DY 50 Amp Digital Inverter Portable Air Plasma Cutter Dual Voltage Discount?

Is this thing as good as the expensive Millers, Hypertherms etc the short answer is no it is not. But for what it costs and how it performs it is worth every penny for the home hobbiest. It produces a clean cut through the 1/4" steel I routinely cut. No experience cutting much thicker then 1/4" but at the settings I am at for 1/4" it just may do 1/2" just fine. I should note that I have it wired 240 volt.

The regulator is cheap but works, I may replace it with a better one in the future though.

The torch head is also cheap and will not hold up to abuse. I have not done long cuts but the cutting I have done the handle has not even become warm so I have no worries of it's ability.

So in short it is a inexpensive hobby type plasma cutter that works as it claims. It is not a plasma cutter to use in a high demand work shop.

I was in the market for an affordable plasma cutter. i searched online and found a CUT50DY plasma cutter from Ramsond corporation for around $500 with free shipping. I had never heard of the brand, but I had seen good reviews of the cutter so I figured I'd give it a try. Upon receiving the plasma cutter (which was packaged very well in full styrofoam), I wired an outlet in my shop for 220 volts to run the machine. I was curious to see if the machine performed as stated, so I hooked up my air line, plugged in the machine and found a piece of nearly 1 inch thick solid square tubing. I was VERY impressed at how it cut through the steel. I operate a small farm on the side of my normal job (law enforcement), and the day after I received the cutter, while planting corn with my planter, I broke a large bolt and welding on the planter. I brought the planter over to my shop and used the plasma cutter to remove the old bolt and also had to cut at least 1/2 inch thick steel tubing and again, the cutter performed beyond my expectations to fix my planter. I would definitely recommend the plasma cutter so far. I can not attest to the long term durability of the cutter but it definitely exceeds my expectations of a lower priced plasma cutter.
