I have been looking for a compressor for a while at the local HD and Lowes. I never really wanted to spend $250 -$350 for something I was just going to use around the house for small jobs. I wanted a medium size tank. The 1-2 gallon tanks are too small and the giant stand up models are overkill for me. Saw this for on sale for $126 with free shipping and could not pass it up. After getting it, I immediately set it and ran the compressor. It is a bit loud, but it did not leak and filled to 120psi in about a minute. I later used the braid nailer to do hang some baseboards and it worked awesome. I bought a heavy duty 50' hose at HD for like $10 instead of the cheapo plastic coil hose that comes with it. Its not a huge tank, so if it gets some heavy use, it will need to run alot. I cannot use it as a air blower to sweep the floor because it runs out of pressure after a short while, but You can use it for blowing off tools effectively. I also use it blow dust off my Harley, etc. Overall Im very happy with this compressor and nailer. I plan to replace my fence and will get a larger nail gun, but I know this compressor will handle that easily. Overall a great deal for a very nice product!

I just purchased this less than one month ago and really love it. It is small enough to carry around the house for small jobs and the brad nailer is good. Very good for light duty around the house. I would recommend buying a better air hose than what came with the compressor. What a great deal for almost $100.

Amazons return policy is nice but very costly on their end. The 1st unit arrived broken in the mail, handle smashed on top, and regulator broken. Second arrived ok, but worked for a day before wouldn't turn on anymore. Tried to order 3rd, but was out of stock, so I settled for a refurb. When it arrived, the regulator was broken, but a call to bostitch quickly got replaced.

I bought this for my dad, but he couldn't turn it on him self because of the poor design of the on-off switch. It has a small red knob that you must pull out. I gave him my compressor, and took this one as my own.

The compressor runs my f28ww well, as well as my jetweld guns. It is not too loud either. The nailer is useless for finish work. . When you shoot a nail in, it puts a mark in the wood the size of a staple. So that is off to ebay.

I bought this product to use for nailing a small wooden shed. It worked fine for a couple of weeks, until a spring fell off. I managed to use a rubber grommet to keep the slide from opening each time the gun went off. Then, after 90 days, it quit cycling. I have another gun and it worked fine, so it wasn't the compressor. Bostich warranty says that any normal wear on the product isn't covered--but after 90 days, should the parts wear out? Never again.

This combo rocks! The items are exactly what I ordered. They performed beautifully. I have completed my first project already. I added a 3rd bedroom to our home. My next project is the middle of this month with our church. We are doing some serving work for our community. Amazon was awesome. They carried a superior product cheaper than ANYONE. They kept me informed with my shipment and made it easy to check on my status. Thanks to Amazon and Bostitch.

This is a great air compressor. It does everything is says it can. The 2 in 1 nailer that came with the compressor does a good job. This is the first air compressor I have ever used and owned and I am very satisfied. I would like to have had a larger unit but do not have the space for one. This compact light weight unit is just right. I received this unit with free shipping and it arrived 3 days earlier than what they said. Amazon beat the prices of everyone online and even lowes and home depot. Get this one you will be happy!

Where has this thing been all my life? :) Great portable compressor and 2-in-1 brad nailer / stapler, easily drives 1" narrow crown staples through plywood. Great deal from Amazon with no tax, free 2-day shipping.

I have been using this compressor for my small woodworking shop and basic garage needs for about 6 months. I love it!

I bought this for my husband a few years ago. He tried to return it, fearing the "To Do" list would grow even longer if we had this tool around the house. He was right, the list grew, but even he thinks up new projects because this tool is easy to use and helps finish jobs faster.

This set is perfect for the regular person trying to complete DIY projects around the house. Everything you need is included in this set. Opening the box and looking at the dials, cords, etc. seemed daunting but don't worry - it was easy enough to set up. All you need to do is connect the hose, plug the air compressor in, give it a couple of minutes to power up, and the nailer is ready to go. There are 1,000 finishing nails already included. It weighs about 40-45 lbs and has a large black handle on top to help move it around (I can move it if I have to).

So far we have used it to put up crown molding, floor molding, make a cedar closet, and fix little items around the house. This gun is designed for small nails (finishing nails) and the compressor has 2.0 hp maximum but it is powerful enough to do the job.

You cannot beat the price for the work this one tool set will accomplish.

I have used this for almost a year now.

It works very well and is great value for the price.

The air seals are perfect - I've left it pumped up at 100+ psi and it still has pressure MONTHS later.

Update: 20 July 2009

Used it with my Bostich Framing Nailer and the included Finishing Nailer on the weekend (@ 100psi) to make a massive bookshelf with trim. Both ran perfectly. The compressor wasn't charging too often so the pump has plenty of capacity. It remains a fantastic bundle.

Here is the Framing Nailer.
