Bostitch CPACKN80 Framing Nailer & Compressor Combo Kit

Product Description

Amazon.com

Here's a tough-as-nails nailer and a hardworking compressor perfect for the professional carpenter. The framing nailer has a 75-nail capacity extruded aluminum magazine that Bostitch says will survive falls, though we didn't try that for ourselves. We can tell you, though, that even though it weighs 8 pounds, it balances well and doesn't strain the user. Depth adjusts easily, and hungry toe-nailing teeth really take hold for slip-free use. It reliably fires 2- to 3-1/2-inch clipped head nails for use in framing, sheathing, siding, fencing, trusses, decking, pallets and wood to masonry. Powering this nailer is a 2.5 horse, six-gallon oil-lube compressor. At six gallons, it's not huge, but for nailers, this is plenty. We like that it's ready to use right out of the box, with all the air line and accessories you need to get started. Maintenance is important: You'll need to open the drain valves a couple times a day and oil it in the morning and at noon, and it'll serve you well.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

I was looking for a framing nailer combo to finish my basement because the thought of toe-nailing a few hundred linear feet of wall by hand didn't appeal to me at all (maybe I'm a wimp, I'll admit it). I originally ordered a Porter-Cable combo, but the delivery date kept getting pushed out, and after three weeks of waiting, I decided to buy this Bostitch.

I am very pleased that I did. It shipped immediately, and at the time I ordered, it came with a free cap stapler. I sold that on Amazon (sold in under 12 hours), and used the proceeds to buy a finish nailer.

I hadn't used any air tools in the past, but I found it very easy to set up and to use. Out of the box there was one fitting missing, I called Bostitch and they had one shipped to me by the next day. My project went very quickly and my sheetrocker reported that the framing was dead-on.

Waited several weeks for delivery. Once I called on it it then showed up too late for a job. Packaging looked like it came via IRAQ. Compressor was covered in oil and all gauges smashed. After reading other reviews I learned that no matter what the brand these types of tools are being shipped damaged way too often. Amazon should address this. When you spend 500.00 plus on a tool and wait several weeks the last thing you want to do is open a destroyed item, then they tell you it will take another month or so to get a new one. Customer service had me deal with the seller and not Amazon. I feel if I bought the tool from Amazon then Amazon should do the work. Overall a terrible experience with both parties. Now comes the return part, oh I can't wait for this one!!!

This set up represents a good value for the experienced user. Mine arrived with a broken gauge which they promptly sent another so no big deal. I missed getting a free finish nailer by a month which had been available as the same package - in my experience if you see a deal you like on Amazon don't wait too long ( for example now the Delta air cleaner on my dream list has gone up 50 bucks in two months...) to make the purchase.

Compressor comes with a 25 foot hose; too short for framing but you should already have a few 50 footers if you are on the job. The gun is great - just the right weight and the heavy duty construction you expect from Bostich. No case though but you can get a great soft bag for it from Duluth Trading for 20 bucks.
I had to immediately change the trigger to the optional bump and fire black trigger to get it to work like I'm used too.

For the Pro I say because you need to have the experience to safely set up and use these powerfull nailers - weekenders and backyard home improvers should stick to a hammer.
