Bostitch CPACK265 Finish Nailer Brad Nailer Compressor Combo Kit

Product Description

Amazon.com

We love being able to get to work with tools right out of the box, so combo kits are high on our list. This one's got not one but two nailers and a great little compressor. First, the nailers: The 16-gauge top-load finish nailer is so light and compact, it's just a joy to handle. It didn't jam on us, but if it did, clearing it would have taken only a couple seconds because of the quick-release nose door. Depth control adjusts easily, and the tip doesn't mar the workpiece. We really like the full-length window that lets you see how many nails you've got left. When it fires, it's got virtually no recoil, and combined with the comfortable rubber grip, it's easy on the user. Because of nose design, it can slip into places other nailers can't go. The 18-gauge side-load brad nailer also has the view window, and it's super easy to load. As with the finish nailer, jams are cleared quickly and easily, firing depth is simple to adjust, it's comfortable in hand and it's extremely light but powerful. Again, it has a no-mar tip. The heart of this combo is a high-performance, oil-free compressor, built tough for the job site. At six gallons, it's not huge, but for nailers, this is plenty. Air delivery is a respectable 3.4 cfm at 40 psi and 2.7 cfm at 90 psi. This is a great combo for the carpenter and contractor, and you can't beat the price. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

4.0 out of 5 stars Great set, but beware when buying from Amazon, September 22, 2005

This review is from: Bostitch CPACK265 Finish Nailer Brad Nailer Compressor Combo Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

This kit is great; I have no complaints about it. However I did purchase this through Amazon. During the checkout process the system indicated that this product was new and would ship directly from Amazon.

Well the box showed up in good shape, but when I started unpacking the contents my disappointment began. Upon lifting the compressor out of the undamaged box, I found that one of the handle mount points had completely broken off of the compressor unit. This was obviously in this condition when the unit was packaged as I had barely laid my hand on it when I discovered this. No sweat, I can live with that. I'll just have Bosch ship me another handle.

Next I plugged in the compressor and flipped the switch -- nothing. The compressor didn't turn on. I tried a different outlet with the same results -- nada. Boy am I beginning to get angry. This is beginning to look like I was shipped a used and untested unit.

Ok, so the compressor has some issues, no problem. I'll just have Amazon ship me another. No dice; Amazon passed the buck and told me to contact the manufacturer for warranty repair. Ok, so I pay Amazon for the merchandise, I wait over a week for it to show up, when I get it and open it up its in bad condition and doesn't work, and now I've got to get a supposedly brand-new item repaired?

Seriously Amazon, that's a complete lack of customer service. You took my money, knowingly sent me a bum unit, then sent me on my way to have a "new" unit repaired. Thanks a lot. I'll be keeping my tool purchases local from now on. And I'll advise others to do the same.

So moral of the story is to beware. You too might think you're getting a new unit only to receive a used or refurbished one.

I am totally disappointed with this purchase. The box looked like repackaged. The handle and Pressure Switch was broken right out of the box, so I have to call Bostitch for those parts replacements. It's been a month now and I still have not seen them. Since Amazon don't stand behind this kind of product, I am out of luck. My suggestion is to buy it from your local hardware store and save the headache.

I had the same problem as many on this board. The handle broke right out of the box. Cheap plastic on cover and handle with skimpy washers holding the handle on. I called Bostich and they said they'd send a new cover and handle to me (haven't received it yet, approx 10 days). I'll use fender washers when I attach the new handle. I've used the nailers to do some door casings and trim out a remodeled bathroom. Nailers worked great, no adjustments needed. The coupling from the compressor to the hose leaked, so I spent about 3.00 for better fittings. The air hose is not the best, too much memory. But for this price, it works great.
