BOSTITCH Air Compressor Combo Kit, 3-Tool (BTFP3KIT)

El compresor se ajusta a la descripción del mismo, por tanto funciona muy bien. Sin embargo, es importante señalar que si la intención es operarlo en un lugar cerrado, debe considerarse usar protectores auditivos, pues sí es bastante ruidoso. Otro dato que no se especifica es el tiempo de carga a partir de cero, el cual suma tres minutos y siete segundos (3:07) hasta que se detiene automáticamente en 150 psi. En general, es liviano, estético y funcional.

Quiet, rarely fires up when using air nailer

I worried for nothing. Everything works as well as I hoped. I have several hundred nails through both guns now, and not a single malfunction. The compressor is… well, it’s not quiet, that’s for sure, but as far as compressors go, it’s not bad. The gauges and regulator work well, as does the regulator. I don’t have a lot of experience with air tools, so I tried a bunch of different air pressures fro 80 to 130. One twist of a knob, and pressure is set. The tank has a nice, semi-knurled bleeder valve on the bottom of the tank. That’s to release the pressure if you’re not going to be using it for a while, as well as to bleed out any accumulated water. When I first fired it up, I didn’t know about the valve, and it was open. (Directions? Who reads those??) Obviously that made a lot of noise as the pressure was leaking right back out with a loud whooshing sound. Once I figured that out, it was MUCH quieter haha. With the valve closed, the tank fills up and shuts off in about two minutes from empty, and only kicks on once in a while. I really didn't want to hear it at all though, so I grabbed

I had read some pretty good reviews on this one, and decided to order it. Having been looking around, I found that most 6-gal. pancake compressors were 1 - 1.5 HP. I couldn't find the horsepower rating on this one's advertising, specification list nor the manual. Finally I went to the company website and sent them an email asking what was the HP rating. The next day I received their reply and was disappointed to hear it was only 0.8 HP. So with that I decided to let its performance show its worth. It came two days later (fast!). After reading all instructions I turned it on, watching the time it took to reach its max (150) psi. I was surprised it took only less than 3 minutes! With hoses and a tire filler installed I waited a half hour and checked the pressure gage, and it had not shown any noticeable pressure loss. I topped off the tires of both my car and truck and then bled the pressure off. I then turned the unit around, over, upside-down and inspected it over-all for general quality; Weldment, materials, components and workmanship. Evidently it manages its power well enough to arrive and maintain its pressure rating, and seems sturdy and well made. Btw, I am a retired Quality Assurance Specialist for the U.S. Department of Defense. If I were to inspect this product for acceptance on a gov't contract, I would have no problem giving it my stamp and signature. Bottom line, a nice little compressor, especially at that (sale) price!

Shipped all my other nail guns overseas. Had to have one to do some remodeling. Works well enough to get the job done. No complaints. Would recommend.
