15 Amp 2-3/4 Horsepower 4-Gallon Oiled Single Hot Dog Compresso \| Factory-Reconditioned DeWalt D55155R

DeWalt quality is superb and their reconditioned tools are redone in house with better quality checks that their new tools.
XPower Powerpack 300 Plus Portable Backup Power Source \| Xantrex 852-1840
	$149.99 by Xantrex Technologies Built-in emergency light for illumination at home or on the road Vehicle jumper cables 250 psi air compressor for inflating tires and sports equipment Operates 115-volt AC or 12-volt DC products anywhere Provides up to 300 watts of AC power found in 852-1840's reviews: I use it all the time! - I used the air compressor function to re-inflate it. It takes a long time to inflate tires, compared to those 50 cent air/water machines at the gas stations, but it gets the job done and I can take it with me. Although I do not recommend allowing them to get wet, I do think its an attribution to their quality of workmanship.
*2-1/2" 16 Gauge Finish Nailer / Compressor* Combination Kit \| Bostitch CPACK200**
	$560.00 by Bostitch Kit also comes with a 25-foot airline kit with all fittings and teflon tape 1.5 hp, 5.8-gallon oil-less compressor with wheels for portability 1000 2-1/2-inch finish nails, tool oil, tool carrying case Combo pack includes a 2-1/2-inch 16-gauge finish nailer found in CPACK200's reviews: A Bostitch satisfied customer - Part of my selection came from learnerd advise from a world class cabinetmaker, who has been in the trade for over 40 Years. I needed a compressor and the combo packs offered the best value for the money. That combo was my choice, and after using them for several Months now, I am very satisfied with both the nailer and compressor. Between these three tools and compressor, my projects can all be accomplished with ease. Quality Problems, Quality Problems - Let me say, it is my first air nailer and I love the concept. However, my package arrived without all the parts and absolutely no instructions for the nailer. The compressor was missing hardware for one wheel preventing me from setting it up. The compressor also had a large number of scratches on its side like it had been slid across a floor. The instructions for the compressor are very poor. Horrible directions for a novice, but good equipment - I'd imagine that many people buying this kit are new to air tools (since they need to buy a compressor too). The compressor directions were worse, probably because they were roughly translated from italian. (I can't believe I was actually considering predrilling and hammering finish nails by hand for my project!) I wasn't really happy with the depth control on the nailer since there's no indicator (at least the compressor has a pressure guage). Everything (except the directions) seems to be top quality. I do wish the compressor was quieter, or started up slower (it scared the hell out of me when the pump automatically refilled the tank, even through my earplugs). But the build quality is excellent (the tank welds are top notch). Quality for the $ - I wanted to get a compressor and gun for myself. This is the first Bostitch compressor I have used, and I find it is quieter and smoother than our Porter-Cable and Devilbis compressors of the same horse power and capacity. This is the only small sized compressor I have seen with wheels. I just put a roof on last week using the compressor.
*2-1/2" Finish Nailer/Compressor* Combo Pack \| Porter-Cable CFFN250A**
	$590.00 by Porter-Cable One-Year Warranty/30-Day Performance Certification Oil-free compressor can operate on slopes without risk of leaks Rugged, top load magazine for easy reloading Depth-of-drive adjustment to match nail depth to the application Quick release nosepiece for easy clearing of jams found in CFFN250A's reviews: Excellent Value and Quality - The compressor package truly makes it a great value. The compressor is very efficient, to the point that I was surprised it did not run more often. It is fairly quiet (as compressors go), and is light enough and is easy to carry and move around. Get Porter-Cable nails, which are of higher-quality and comparably priced. More High Ratings - The compressor works very well and is remarkably air tight (held full charge for more than two weeks). I've also used the compressor with a framing nailer and it kept up with no problems. Great deal for name brand quality!. Great Package - The pancake compressor powers all my nailers to drive 16d's at 120 psi all the way down to 3/4" brads at 30 psi. The compressor is easy to move which makes the upstairs finish work much easier. The finish nailer is a quality tool, its a Porter-Cable. The only negative is the hose supplied with the kit failed (the spring loaded connecter came apart and had to be replace in the middle of a job). Even having to buy a new hose or repair the existing one, the combo package is a great buy. What a great value! - I shopped several retail stores, catalogs, and home improvement centers for comparable prices and values and this combination, with nailer, compressor, and all the needed hoses and fittings was, by far, the best value I was able to find. Most nailers alone cost more than this set and the quality of the tools was all I had hoped it would be. Excellent Value - Get this one! - You get a top quality nailer and a good air compressor too - in one ready to use out of the box kit. COMPRESSOR: Lightweight - but a little noisy. It also doesn't trip the breaker like my other compressor does, due to the low current draw (max. If you already have a small compressor* then the nailer (FN250A) is still a great choice by itself. But if you need a nailer and a compressor, this is by far the best value.*
*5.5-Horsepower, 8-Gallon Gas Powered Air* Compressor \| Porter-Cable CPL55GH8W**
	$816.99 by Porter-Cable 1-year limited warranty Oil-lubricated for cool running and longer life Wheelbarrow design with pneumatic tire for portability Gas-powered for use on remote job sites High-pressure design allows almost twice as much usable air found in CPL55GH8W's reviews: Real Happy!! - This is a high quality* machine.Mine is a updated verson with braded stainless steel hose connecting the tank to the compressor instead of copper tubing like it says in the product discription.*

*2-1/2" 16 Gauge Finish Nailer/Compressor* Combo Pack \| Porter-Cable CFFN250S**
	$590.00 by Porter-Cable 1 year limited warranty Complete kit with quick-connects, 25' 300 psi air hose, thread sealing tape, nailer case, and wrenches Oil-free compressor produces 3.7 scfm at 40 psi and 2.7 scfm at 90 psi Nailer features cushion grip, depth of drive, piston catch, quick-release nosepiece, and directional exhaust Professional nailer shoots 3/4" to 2-1/2" 16 gauge finish nails found in CFFN250S's reviews: A nice tidy package! - I guess to keep the price low, Porter-Cable outfitted this kit with their 135 psi pancake compressor, rather than their 150 psi compressor which is sold with their 18 gage brad nailer kit. The positives of the kit are; 1) The 17 piece accessory kit with the pistol grip blower, 2) The gun has a balanced and quality feel, 3) Easy to load gun, 4) Easy to clear jammed nails, 5) Shorter and more streamlined design of gun, 6) Enough power to countersink a 2-1/2" nail into red oak, 7) Portable and reasonably light-weight compressor, 8) Very good sight line of nailing surface, 9) Value purchase. The negatives of this kit are; 1) Noisy compressor, 2) Gun does not warn user when it runs out of nails, 3) Should have provided 2-1/2" nails, rather than the 2" nails, 4) Compressor's auto on/off lever can dislodge from the switch assembly when the lever is pushed/pulled at the wrong angle, 5) Must order the free black coloured trigger separately, 6) The gun will at the odd time spall the MDF moulding surface at the nail's point of entry (which means more caulking).
*3 HP, 4-Gallon Pancake Compressor* \| Porter-Cable CPF23400P**
	$415.00 by Porter-Cable One Year Warranty Supports use of all brad and finish nailers and moderate use of framing and roofing nailers High-flow regulator allows more work at higher pressures 3 hp induction motor for quieter operation High-pressure technology provides more usable air for longer run time found in CPF23400P's reviews: *Good Quality, Great Service* - There are a lot of pancake compressors on the market, but this one stands out for two reasons. First, the quality is better than most of the oiless models out there. If you're anywhere near a medium sized or larger city, spare parts and repair are just a phone call away. For the remodeler working alone, or the handman looking for a small compressor* for the shop, this machine is an excellent chice.* *Maybe a good compressor, but beware of shipping* - I ordered my P-C 3HP/4GAL compressor from Amazon, and their tool supplier, Tool Crib, shipped the unit to me via UPS. When I unpacked the compressor there was a broken piece of plastic in the bottom of the box. I took the compressor to the local Porter-Cable service center and they tell me the boxes the P-C compressors come in are NOT designed to handle the rigorous treatment of UPS shipping. The compressor is very heavy and the support inside the box is just flimsy cardboard, so the unit will shift alot during UPS shipment. I'm just wondering what other parts may have been damaged in the shipping. Won't know until the replacement part comes in and we can turn the unit on. Be advised about this shipping problem with this compressor.
*Pattern Pistol with Electric Compressor* \| Goldblatt Trowel Trade Tools GB13300**
	$1,000.00 by Stanley Hand Tools Comes complete with gun and hopper, compressor, electric motor, 50' of air hose, 25' power cord, 2-wheel dolly and instructions Two interchangeable air stem nozzles to double the range of patterns and spray pressure Cool running, 1 HP capacitor-start electric motor drives a rotary vane compressor that produces up to 30 psi when used with 3/32" air nozzle found in GB13300's reviews: Goldblatt Trowel Trade Tools GB13300 Pattern Pistol with Compressor - Once I opened the box, I was dismayed to find a bag of parts requiring assembly. One part, the oil reservoir was completely broken. I immediately sent the unit out for repair. Fortunately, the repairman was able to use parts from an old non-working unit to fix the new unit so it is operational.
