By bosch (ny)
compressor is way too loud,but it is more professional tool so thats probably why. so far no problems other than little burn smell when it runs. staplernail gun is used, and scretched. but works. I think it is good buy for the money,when you compare to the new tools.

Delivered fast and works great for small projects I got it for. Case of Brad Nailer was damaged in shipment but tools undamaged inside. Read another comment saying they could tighten up their packaging for mailing and agree. Otherwise, very happy.

 "I love this tool!" 2009-11-01
By Chuck (Texas)
Pros:

Great price

Light weight

Looks brand new

Works great



Cons:

Had to replace drain cock

Safety bumper came off gun after only a few uses



This is a great tool for a great price. I really could not tell that it was reconditioned. The only problem I had was the the drain cock on the bottom of the compressor did not work. So while looking at the new ones in the store, I noticed they had a ball valve instead of a twist-style valve. I ordered a Replacement ball value and now it works great. As it turns out, the old drain cock was not drilled through, so there was no way air was ever going to escape.



I have used this gun for putting up crown molding and small projects in the workshop. I have also used the air compressor to air up the tires on my vehicles, although the supplied attachment does not work the best.



Another thing I like about this compressor is the weight. It is easy for me tote around. I borrowed a friend's compressor before I bought this one and I had to use 2 hands to lug it around. This one I just grab and go.

I have received the product. It said refurbished. But I found every thing like new. And the compressor starts working as soon as I plug in. A little noisy compared to my other 2 cylinder compressor. But it is light weight and easy to carry around. I haven't used the nail gun yet. Recommended .... Good Buy for me.

 "Good compressor and nailer, GREAT VALUE!" 2009-09-20
By evan in maine (maine)
Hi all,



I purchased this combo for the purposes that most homeowners will be using it for: inflating tires and pool toys, running a couple different nailers, blasting dust, maybe a small spray gun, etc. For these purposes and occasional use, it does really well. For regular use or high output tools, I'd suggest an oiled unit with larger capacity.



Anyway, lets start with the good:

The value cannot be beat. It came with everything mentioned and was delivered to my door for under $150. The nail gun seems to be of good quality, although it leaves the brad just barely above the surface of the wood. I like the included case. I think there's a depth adjustment, but I haven't played with it too much. It offers good power for general needs. The compressor is easy to move and doesn't cycle through too often when using the nailer or air gun. It is not deafening, but not exceptionally quiet. The accesory kit comes with everything you need to get started with the exception of the damaged hose.



The bad:

The freight company was incompetent, and I had to return several phone calls because they couldn't find my house. Expect delivery to take 14 days. The packaging was poor, and I think the couple blemishes were a product of this rather than the unit being refurbished. The air hose arrived cracked in half. I didn't return it because I was planning on buying a better hose anyway, but it sounds like they'd make you ship everything back if this happens, which is not acceptable. Just plan on spending an extra $25 on a good hose and save yourself the hassle of a cheap coil hose. I wish the regulator was not plastic because I feel that this will wear out quickly. The compressor is slightly larger than the porter cable equivalent. These were all minor gripes of mine.



For the money, as long as the unit doesn't burn out on me somewhere down the road, I am very satisfied.

 "Loud, low cfm, low pressure, piece of junk" 2010-01-20
By Dustin G. Haugh (Pocatello, ID)
If you read someone saying this is a good product more than likely they haven't used a compressor before. Before purchasing a compressor you should find out how much cfm you'll need for what your doing (cubic feet per minute). This compressor is rated at about .5 cfm @ 40 psi. A good compressor starts at 2cfm @ 90 psi so this is absolute junk. That means that it takes forever for this thing to fill up on pressure and it's LOUD LOUD LOUD!!! You will want to throw it out the window it's so loud. The next part you need to worry about is that it's oil-less. Your motor is not going to last. It's just a matter of time before you start having trouble getting this thing started. I work in a woodshop and it didn't take long for the dust to get into it, clogging it up somehow and making it hard for it to start.

Sometimes you can pay as little as 50 bucks more and get four times the machine. Don't worry about not getting the brad/staple gun, it's junk and you can go to grizzly.com and get one for thirty bucks that you'll actually be able to use.

 "Somewhat better than bottom end portable compressors" 2009-09-18
By Scotsmanbully (Houston, TX USA)
I bought this compressor to keep my car and bike tires properly inflated. This is a marginal product and only slightly more convenient than a hand pump (bikes) and a service station (car). First, the attachment for inflating tires fits the hose very poorly and leaks air like crazy. This creates a problem when you're trying to inflate something as the compressed air resevoir is losing a lot of its pressure just due to the leakage. Also, this compressor will barely reach 100 psi and, due to the leakage, it will lose that pressure very quickly. That's not such a big deal for car tires that don't inflate to anywhere near that pressure, but it's a real pain in the neck for inflating bike tires. The only way I can inflate my 85 psi tires is to do it iteratively and even then I can just barely get up to 85 psi. Several of our bikes call for up to 100 psi and there is no way this compressor will inflate that high because the leakage runs down the pressure before the tire is inflated. Not only does the inflation attachment leak it's pretty poorly designed and doesn't fit over the inflation stem on a tire very well which further aggrevates the inflating process. Oh yes, the onboard pressure guage is about 20 psi inaccurate so you will want to use a separate guage to measure the psi of what you're inflating. The tool kit that comes with this is a sorry example of the worst of Chinese manufacturing; very low quality stuff. Finally, the cord is very short and you will most likely need an extension cord. I'm considering just buying a good bike hand pump and using this compressor for the car.

 "Inferior compressor" 2009-07-16
By K. Presnell (Austin, TX)
This is not a good quality compressor. I expect more from CH. The air feeder lines from piston are car fuel lines and not air hoses. The two feeder hosed rub against each other (due to poor design) because of vibration and will wear a hole in each other. I have had this compressor for 1 year and 2 months, used it 5 times and now the hoses have worn through and air leaks out. What a piece of crap. I spent 3 hours fixing this, cutting away crappy fittings, reinstalling air hose and clamping off. Do not buy this.

 "For my purposes" 2009-04-24
By D. Halbach (Leawood, KS, United States)
this has worked well. Use it around the house with my Ridgid brad nailer, haven't tried the included nailer. It's light, easy to carry around, even for those small jobs where you don't want to carry much. No problems. Loudness is in the ear of the beholder but I certainly don't expect quiet from a compressor so would say this is average in that regard. [...] So far so good would be my evaluation.

 "It works, but I don't like this compressor." 2009-03-25
By Lucas Scharf (Urbana, IL)
I purchased this air compressor at a local big box store. I'm a homeowner and a woodworker, so I use this air compressor a couple of times a week. I'm not satisfied with it.



Here are the issues I encountered:



* The box implied that it could deliver 90 PSI. It can, but the unit it really designed to keep the pressure between 80PSI and 100PSI. When the pressure goes down to 80PSI, the motor starts and pumps the tank back up to 100PSI.



* I discovered after purchasing this unit that I like my bike tires at 100PSI so, after inflating each bike tire, I have to let air out of the compressor so that the compressor will run back up to 100PSI before inflating the next tire. Since I ride a bicycle regularly, this is not the air compressor for me.



* The brad-nailer / stapler included with this unit failed after 2-3 clips. My guess is that it was a problem in the safety mechanism, but I didn't investigate too deeply. Also, the easiest way to adjust the depth that the staples go to is to adjust the pressure regulator on the air compressor, and depth varies depending on the state of the compressor. I've been much happier with the Ridgid stapler that replaced it, since the Ridgid stapler drives the staples to a consistent depth, regardless of small variations in the air pressure (the included stapler isn't terribly consistent about the depth to which it drives staples).



* This compressor is really noisy. The little pump runs fast with a small cylinder, and it makes enough of a racket that I either put in earplugs before starting the compressor -- or plug it in and run to another part of the house while it pressurizes itself. It's almost as noisy as my table saw, and it takes its time coming up to pressure -- especially if you empty out the pressure-tank before storing it.



* It's easy to tip over, especially when inflating car tires.



That said, this device does work. It's also light enough to carry around easily with one hand. We built 40 feet of garden fence out of 1x2's using the Ridgid stapler this weekend, which means that we drove around 750 1-1/4" staples into cedar -- and this unit powered the whole thing, and it was able to keep up if we didn't staple continuously. I've also used it to run other small air tools, inflate car tires, and the other jobs that you'd expect to do with a small portable air-compressor around the house. But this unit drives me crazy with it's slow/noisy performance, and the quick breakage of the nailer/stapler makes me skeptical about its long-term reliability -- so I plan to replace it with more powerful compressor at the first opportunity.
