Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Power up pneumatic nailers, impact wrenches, ratchets and more with this beefy air compressor from Bostitch. A powerful 2.5-peak horsepower, 15 amp industrial induction motor with manual reset overload protection lets this 6-gallon air compressor power either three finish nailers simultaneously, or a single roofing or framing nailer. Wired for easy hookup to standard household current, this 6-gallon air compressor delivers enough air power to tackle all nailing jobs and works with most moderate air-tool applications. A high output oil-lubricated pump with cast iron cylinder ensures maximum life. A cold weather start-assist system and synthetic oil pump mean fast and easy startups every time. The compressor also powers sealant dispensers, blow guns, paint sprayers, sandblasters, air brushes, and grease guns. The unit’s compact and lightweight (50-pound) design ensures easy transport and storage. --Brian D. Olson

4.0 out of 5 stars Compressor, March 3, 2006

This review is from: Bostitch CAP2560OL 15 Amp 2-1/2 Horsepower 6-Gallon Oiled Pancake Compressor (Tools & Home Improvement)

The compressor was delivered damaged. I was searching for a compressor online for quite a long time. It seems that most companies have trouble shipping them without being damaged. They need to beef up the packaging I guess.

When I opened the package there was a notice indicating that Bostitch should be contacted prior to sending the product back through Amazon. I called their service centre and they were great. Sent me new parts right away no questions asked. Saved me the hassle of getting a new one delivered.

Other than that, the product works great.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great product, TERRIBLE PACKAGING, December 26, 2006

This review is from: Bostitch CAP2560OL 15 Amp 2-1/2 Horsepower 6-Gallon Oiled Pancake Compressor (Tools & Home Improvement)

My compressor arrived damaged, just like most everyone else's. But this I attribute to Bostitch's horrible packaging and UPS's inherent predeliction to crush everything that comes thier way. Like other reviewers, I contacted Bostitch and they sent replacement gagues, but on top of that, the pressure release valve was bent so bad that it stripped it's threads and now the thing leaks pretty much all of the time. When it decides to not leak, the thing is a beast, and will have you framing walls and tacking up trim all day long. All the faults lie in the packaging/handling. Were it delivered harm-free, it would be a workhorse.

The price was good for the specs but did not have the chance to try out because it was damaged during shipping. Handle was bent (caused the crack in the plastic covering), oil all over the place, both gauges were bent inward and broken (gauge housing is plastic... not metal like others). Box was fine except one hole in the side.
