Primefit ATK1000 Air Tool Kit with Impact, Ratchet, Chisel, Blow Gun, and other Accessories, 50-Piec

Primefit ATK1000 Air Tool Kit with Impact, Ratchet, Chisel, Blow Gun, and other Accessories, 50-Piece
  • Durable construction and reliable performance tools, ideal for any garage or workshop
  • 1/2-Inch Impact features 250-Foot Pound of torque and power adjustment, ideal for tire changing and more
  • 3/8-Inch ratchet features 90-Foot Pound of torque, ideal for hard to reach areas
  • Also features an air chisel for removing stubborn bolts and metal cutting, a blow gun with various nozzle attachments
  • Heavy duty storage case

I've never owned an air tool set before and only used one once previously. Since I do work on my vehicles some, and just recently needed to borrow an impact driver to change my front brake pads, I decided it was time I should have my own set. I shopped around, read lots of reviews and for the money, this set seemed like a good combination of quality and price. Delivery was very fast and the set does seem to be well built. Make no mistake, this is NOT a commercial grade product and is not marketed as such. The meager included documentation clearly states "For home and DIY use ONLY."

This brings me to my only complaint, tempered by praise for the manufacturer's outstanding customer support. When I opened the case, I found only three, very sparse "Operating" Manuals" which were virtually useless to someone without any previous air tool experience. All the manuals referred to an "Instruction Manual" which was not in the case, so I contacted the manufacturer to request the "missing" manual. To their credit, they responded within one day to let me know that there was no instruction manual but they would be happy to answer any questions I had about the product. I then proceeded to pepper them with numerous questions, to which they courteously and quickly responded. Within a couple days exchanging numerous emails, I had all my answers and am comfortable with proceeding to use my new set.

I was very impressed with Primefit's responsive customer support and they did say they are working on a general manual for the set, but could not provide a completion date.

I bought this for my son. He used it to replace an engine. He and his partner said the kit was great.

I was sorely disappointed with both the 1/2" wrench and the 3/8" wrench. Both were underpowered and I was forced to go back to my old impact wrench I was using to get the bolts off my Sienna. I immediately returned mine for a refund. I guess you get what you pay for.

This item arrived with a broken clasp. Unfortunately it is very heavy and is a Christmas gift and will cost alot to send back. The product is very nice but looks like it was not packed properly and thrown around. I can order things all year round for myself and never have a problem with my product. But it seems the minute I order an expensive gift for my husband it looks terrible.

this package has good quality equipment made to stay for a long time. Almost everything you need to do around the house or at the wirkshop jobs. However, the most important tool is not included in the package. You guessed right, it's the drill which means a lot to people who like to act as handymen at home. The package will be more valuable and easy to understand if it came with video on a CD for illustration of how to use the included tools. Nevertheless the package is great for such price.

This is a very good, excellent made valve to keep pressure levels safe in air compressors. I also Liked the free shipping with this product.

Had to replace a few things because this compressor is 20 years old. The replacement worked very well.

The main problem was the check valve leaking and causing the compressor to cycle every few hours so I replaced

a few things, this among them.

Factory-Reconditioned Porter-Cable 3PAKR Finish Nailer/Brad Nailer/Stapler Compressor Combo

Factory-Reconditioned Porter-Cable 3PAKR Finish Nailer/Brad Nailer/Stapler Compressor Combo
  • 150 psi max allows users to drive more nails than a traditional 135 max psi compressor
  • 6 gal tank allows users to drive a large quantity of nails on a single tank charge
  • 2.6 SCFM @ 90 psi allows for quick compressor recovery time, per ISO1217
  • 10 Amps current draw allows use of compressor with a 16 ga. or heavier extension cord (50 feet or less)
  • FN250C uses standard 16 ga. finish nails from 1" to 2-1/2" long

In my kit, the finishing nailer was refurbished, the rest new. It didn't work at all out of the box. It was so bad it almost surely didn't work when it left the repair center. Porter Cable (PC) would not take the unit back; I had to take it to a repair center which meant taking time off of work. When I picked it up, they said a part was missing, that they couldn't repair it, and that it could not have worked when it left the repair facility. I contacted PC again and they sent me a prepaid return mailing label and exchanged it for a new unit in retail packaging. In the end, PC did the right thing but I'm still annoyed that I had to invest three hours of my time to get it resolved.

Now that everything works, it seems to be of decent quality. the compressor is loud, but the largish tank and high pressure are very, very nice. Overall, if I had it to do over again, I'd probably go for the Bostich set for approximately the same price, but I'm happy with the set that I have.

I bought this last week because I am working on a 12ft high x 36ft long x 4ft deep childrens playhouse. There was no way I was hammer nailing all of the roof shingles, trim, etc... So I went on line and saw this package. Let me say that it is AWESOME! It looked brand new. There was no visual signs of any prior use. Other than "Inspected by 3-1" stickers on everything you would think it was brand new. I have used over 4000 Finish Nails, and over 2500 Finish nails since it arrived (I haven't used the stapler yet). It has performed flawlessly. I am so glad I got it. It is a great value!

The compressor was toast. Could not have been tested before shipping. My first and perhaps last refurb tool purchase.

The guns in this kit are great, however I think PC should have stepped it up to the better brad nailer... Guns worked with zero problems, zero jams, zero misfires. Adjustable depth works very well.

Not a huge fan of the compressor, not just with this kit, but any combo kit. I wish they would take some of the better compressors and make them into a combo pack for a little more money. mainly because outside of a combo pack, the guns are pretty expensive. You're basically buying this combo for the guns and a starter compressor till you can buy a better one.

Item arrived in great working condition. It had some other guys last name etched into the bottom, but otherwise in pristine condition. Worked like a charm.

I saw the same kit at Home Depot for $289. So... This is a wonderful value.

Goodyear i5000 Cordless Tire Inflator and 12-Volt Power Pack

Goodyear i5000 Cordless Tire Inflator and 12-Volt Power Pack
  • High pressure 12 Volt portable inflator
  • Inflates 14 inch vehicle tire from 0-28lbs of pressure in under 4 minutes
  • Inflator operates in 2 different modes: Battery or Directly off vehicle current
  • Charges off of AC household current or off 12 Volt vehicle Current, both power adaptors are included
  • Built In 12 Volt power outlet to operate cellular telephones, invertors or other 12 Volt equipment

Received the pump when promissed, so far it has worked as advertised. I really like the auto shut off when the tire pressure reaches your selected pressure. Some advice, if you set the pressure for 32 pounds of pressure and the tire pressure is already at 32 psi or HIGHER the pump will not start, it only starts when the tire pressure is BELOW what you set psi for. I have already used it for the kids soccor balls, my vehicle tires (Ford F150) and my travel trailer tires, with air pumps that need to be plugged in the a power source, this would not work on my travel trailer because the standard 10 foot power cord would be too short for me to reach the trailer tires!. It also came in handy when having to winterize my travel trailer by pressurizing the water lines to blow out the water from the lines. Also, a great price for the convenience of not needing to plug it in to an outlet or cigarette lighter!

Very good machine, works like a champ. Wish it would tell me when it's full, rather than NOT starting on a tire that is already at full charge. It took me a while to realize this "feature". Great to be wireless!

I bought this for my husband as a gift. We have a camper and he wanted something that we could take with us when we travel that doesn't need electricity. The first one we received did not work (worked for about 3 minutes, then quit), but they quickly sent me a replacement and it works great! His father also has this pump, has had it for several years and is quite happy with it!

Be aware that you must cool the unit for 10 minutes after running it for 10 minutes so it doesn't burn out. I added about 4 psi to my vehicle tires and it ran for less than a minute per tire. It runs quiet for an inflator. The built-in lighted dial guage is very accurate, but kind of hard to read because the marks are small and close together.

Setting the target pressure is easy, you just twist the guage until a pointer lines up with the psi you want. The inflator automatically shuts off at that pressure and it is accurate and consistent. No switching back and forth between filling and checking with a separate tire guage and bleeding air to hit the target pressure. The setting stays until you move it again, so you can bring all your tires to the same pressure without re-setting it for each tire. No fuss like with a digital one. Super convenient.

I recommend charging the battery immediately after use and keeping it fully charged at all times. The lead acid battery will have the longest lifetime that way. Once the battery gives out, the only way to run it is directly powered from a 12V vehicle outlet.

The manual and the labelling of switches and sockets is a little confusing, but operation is not overly complicated. There are two switches and two power ports. You'll figure it out.

You could burn it out with a big job like completely filling an RV tire, raft, air tank, etc. unless you stop every 10 minutes. As long as you stay within the limits, this will be a good tool. Probably the most convenient way to maintain vehicle tire pressures.

Works great. This item has a way of pre-selecting the amount of tire pressure and you let it run until the tire is properly inflated. Good buy.

Interstate Pneumatics LF10-4H Pressure Switch - 1/4 FPT Four Port - Bend Lever Swicth

Interstate Pneumatics LF10-4H Pressure Switch - 1/4 FPT Four Port - Bend Lever Swicth
  • 6.3 mm unloader valve connection
  • 1/4 npt female connection
  • Cut off pressure 85-125 PSI
  • Amperage Rating 20 Amps
  • Four ports

I have a Central Pneumatics 4 HP 10 gallon compressor from Harbor Freight. This is a close replacement. I involves changing the copper line to the tank but the lever action is less prone to problems as the button switch that come on the compressors. You need access to a flaring tool and less than a foot of 1/4" copper line. The actual switch must be made by the same company as it is identical. I happy with the upgrade.

I broke a fitting off in the original switch on my air compressor, so I ordered this one as a replacement. It installed easy enought and the compressor is working fine again. I am very pleased and with Summer coming with bike tires, balls, and water toys. Oh, and the tires on our vehicles might need some air too.

The switch worked fine just as I needes.

Switch works great. Time will tell how long it lasts, but it appeares to be as well made as the OEM switches on compressors from the big box stores. Having the on/off switch is nice to have. I don't have to unplug my compressor when not using.

The Source CLS-200 Heavy Duty Roll BAR Clamps for 2" Roll Bars for The Source High Performance Porta

The Source CLS-200 Heavy Duty Roll BAR Clamps for 2' Roll Bars for The Source High Performance Portable Air System
  • Extra Secure
  • Fits 2" Roll Bars
  • Extra Heavy Duty
  • Comes in Black
  • Fits Vehicle Mount Bracket

I like the clamps, but really wish you could still purchase the CLS-175 for 1 3/4" roll bars. The CLS-200 does fit my 1 3/4" chase rack tubing, but only because it is coated with Line-X. I don't think my tank is going anywhere with these clamps in place!

Legacy L8611 Heavy-Duty Retractable Air Hose Reel-with 3/8-Inch by 50-Rubber Hose

Legacy L8611 Heavy-Duty Retractable Air Hose Reel-with 3/8-Inch by 50-Rubber Hose
  • Four direction rollers allow the hose to be easily pulled from the reel
  • Durable heavy-duty steel construction with all-welded steel drum
  • Narrow profile ideal for easy placement and storage
  • Self-locking fasteners stay tight even in mobile installations and metal latching pawl
  • Weep holes designed to evacuate moisture are located on the edge of drum and reduce rust

OK, so I'm a nut: I bought the Legacy 8611 to install in my home garage. It seems very sturdy -but maybe I'm not giving it the heavy work-out you might, on the bed of a service truck, or overhead some grease bay. (Note: If you're concerned about such things, this model is from China rather than Iowa; nevertheless it seems well-made. I chose the 8611 over Legacy's newer "LevelWind" models even though they're made in the USA and have the hose-leveler feature -because they are plastic (PP) instead of metal! Also I like the idea of bolting it down to my slab, versus the LevelWind models have rubber feet and a wall bracket.) Though the description doesn't say so, a 3-foot lead-in hose and two fittings are included in the package. Also, the photo is incorrect in respect to the way it was actually packaged: to use it on the floor (as shown), you must unbolt the upper arm and rotate it 90 degrees (tilt it forward). It's no big deal, but just in case you're some kind of wimp who doesn't want to fiddle around with his/her new toys...

Great hose reel. Very heavy and well built and i'd give it five stars if it were not for one little detail. The hose that is supplied seems to have missed the addition of whatever chemical ingredient that keeps it from depositing its red color on everything it touches including your hands. I tried wiping the whole thing down with denatured alcohol to no avail. Oh well. Despite the fact that I was able to install mine on the ceiling by myself I doubt that any ordinary person could do the installation alone. Yeah, it's that heavy.

I have used this for three months and is mounted on the garage ceiling. Very rugged for the price. Why purchase the 25 footer when the 50 footer can be bought delivered to your door(USA) in the $70.00 range, not Amazon though. YEP made in China but fits my light use needs.

This reel was purchased to replace a broken Harbor Freight reel. The quality is much better that the HF one. The hose quality is also much better. We mounted this reel overhead in a busy shop, it sees a lot of use. We have not had any problems with this reel, I would recommend it to anyone. It is the perfect reel for a shop or home garage.
