I was looking for a compressor that was easily movable , yet still had the capability to power a nail gun without having to run all the time. I also needed a brad & finish nailer. Porter Cable's CFFN251N, Combo kit fit the bill . The directions are easy to read. Connecting the hoses to the compressor & nailer is pretty intuitive, The operating directions are instructive if you haven't used this type of equipment before. Including reading all of the instructions I was using the equipment with in a half an hour of opening the box. The equipment has performed flawlessly so far. One of the reasons I wanted Porter Cable nailers is that in addition to be being easy to use , it's supposed to be easy to remove a jammed nail from the gun. The nailers are certainly easy to use. I have shot several hundred nails & brads using Porter Cable nails but have not had a single jam. So I don't know how easy it is to remove jammed nails. The tank is not large but at 150 psi max pressure you can drive a lot of nails before the compressor cycles on again. The compressor is not particularly quiet , but the noise is acceptable. The equipment is very portable. I can easily move the compressor to wherever I am working & I have 25 feet of hose that enables me to move around a room without moving the compressor all the time. I would recommend this kit for anyone who needs a brad & finish nailer as well as a portable compressor.
