Bostitch Air Compressor Combo Kit, 3-Tool (BTFP3KIT) 21.1 x 19.5 x 18 inches

I worried for nothing. Everything works as well as I hoped. I have several hundred nails through both guns now, and not a single malfunction. The compressor is… well, it’s not quiet, that’s for sure, but as far as compressors go, it’s not bad. The gauges and regulator work well, as does the regulator. I don’t have a lot of experience with air tools, so I tried a bunch of different air pressures fro 80 to 130. One twist of a knob, and pressure is set. The tank has a nice, semi-knurled bleeder valve on the bottom of the tank. That’s to release the pressure if you’re not going to be using it for a while, as well as to bleed out any accumulated water. When I first fired it up, I didn’t know about the valve, and it was open. (Directions? Who reads those??) Obviously that made a lot of noise as the pressure was leaking right back out with a loud whooshing sound. Once I figured that out, it was MUCH quieter haha. With the valve closed, the tank fills up and shuts off in about two minutes from empty, and only kicks on once in a while. I really didn't want to hear it at all though, so I grabbed [[ASIN :B08M61SD3L another 25' length of hose.]] It's not that loud, but it's much quieter when it's in another room. That hose is a lot higher quality than the very skinny one that comes with the kit, but hey, it's a hose, and it works fine. The kit doesn’t come with any nails or staples, but I bought an assortment of different lengths for both the nailers and the stapler. I initially thought the stapler needed some kind of special staples, but no, it takes regular T50 staples you can buy anywhere. Good news, cuz I have a ton. The 18 gauge brad nailer and the 16 gauge finish nailer sound like they’d be about the same thing, but no. One peek at the guns and you can see the 16 gauge is a monster. The 18 gauge nailer is adequate for trim and baseboards and light work, but the 16 gauge nailer is much more powerful. Not for framing, but pretty much anything else. That one has an easy to adjust depth setting thumbscrew on the nose. I had no jambs at all with any of the tools, and I used nails from 1” to 2 ½” in both nailers, with pressures from 80 to 130 psi. A couple of times when nailing on baseboards I hit drywall screws. The nails bent, but never jammed my nail guns. I can’t believe I waited this long to get this. The only problem with this compressor is that it has a tendency to want to spin on the floor. I put it on a rubber doormat, and that stopped it. The feet are rubber, but there’s usually sawdust or dirt on a jobsite, and apparently that’s all the feet need to let it spin. Might be that all of these pancake compressors do the same thing, I dunno. In any case, this was definitely a good buy, and I’m thrilled with it. Build or fix something for your spouse, and it’ll be justified. Pros + Zero problems after hundreds of nails. + Simple to use regulator. + Comes with hose, two guns, stapler, and instructions (if you feel like reading them). Cons - No nails, staples, or tool oil included. - Wife now wants a lot of projects done.

Amazing value package. Not let me down once. No jamming.

Nice little package, decent price. Arrived timely and undamaged. There's no real set up other than plugging it in and loading staples/brads. All tools worked perfectly and made my deck project SO simple and effortless. I ordered stainless staples and various brad sizes at the same time as this. Finished the job well ahead of my guesstimated time. Now I'm moving on to a trim project at my Dad's condo. It's not overly loud compared to several other compressors I've used but it's not quiet by any standard and it doesn't cycle often using the included tools. Very easy to haul around with you. The included air hose was just perfect for my deck job but might be a bit short if you're insulating or trimming a large room. I've got a much longer hose from the old days and it works just as well. I added my water trap but the compressor has a drain in the bottom also. Still looking for my old tire attachment but I might just break down and order a new one. Very happy with my new toys.

All is good with this product. Everything works as it should.

I ordered this Bostitch compressor and 3 gun combo a few weeks ago to use for a bathroom renovation project. I looked into renting a compressor and nail gun, but it was actually cheaper to buy this combo kit, which I got on sale for $119.00. I finally had a chance to use it for the past few days, and I am very happy with it. I used the 16 ga. finishing nailer with 2.5 in. nails to put up shiplap boards on walls, and used the brad nailer with 2 in. and 1.5 in. nails for the baseboard and shoe trim. both guns worked flawlessly, as well as the compressor. It was also very easy to adjust the depth of the nails in the wood by adjusting the pressure on the compressor. The guns are very well made and are of solid quality. The compressor worked great and wasn't as loud as some others that I've heard. I don't think I will have much use for the crown stapler, so I may sell it. I did buy a longer 50 ft. hose and some other accessories like a tire inflation tool. Overall, very happy with the purchase and would defiantly recommend it.
