Poor shipping procedures--TWICE! [Posted on 2006-07-03]
I ordered this compressor and framing nailer for a shop I was building. I chose the free shipping because I had about 10 days before I was to begin construction. A few days later it had not shipped, so I went to the shipping options to see what it would cost for 3 day. It was ~$50 so I opted to stay with the free shipping. However, the web site interpreted my inquiry as a shipping change and rolled back my shipping date to 7-10 days from that date. Finally the box arrived-late-I had to borrow some air tools. The first thing I noticed is that it appeared wet. The compressor had no oil in it. It had obviously been turned on it's side and it leaked out over everything-compressor and nailgun. The breaker switch was hanging out of the housing and the drain stopcock appeared bent. In some defense of UPS, there were no 'This side up' or 'Handle With Care' stickers on the box. I went to the Amazon site and asked for a replacement which they sent overnight delivery. This time using FedEx. The box was delivered when I was not home. I found it lying on it's side, wet with oil again. This time both gauges were smashed, one broken completely off. Bostich was generous enough to send new gauges free of charge. I installed them, replaced the oil and plugged it in only to get a motor hum that quickly kicked off the breaker. I found a broken wire to the switch. I replaced the connector only to discover another broken wire which I could not reach without disassembling the entire switch. Too much damage. I am waiting for this one to be picked up, and none are left in stock at Amazon. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to use this item. I informed Amazon and FedEx of the shipping problems. They dutifully took the information, but no one seems too concerned. The airgun I borrowed was a Bostich, and it worked extremely well. I will be buying these items elsewhere.

It's Junk!! [Posted on 2006-08-14]
Bought the compressor/nail gun combo. As in the previous review, oil had leaked everywhere, The drain valve was broken and the pressure guages bent. Got it cleaned up and put in new oil. The compressor worked for ~8 hours and failed - won't even come on! The gun seemed to work well, but can't use now. Don't waste your time and money on this - you will be dissapointed when you need it to work and it fails!!

I like it, I like it!! [Posted on 2007-01-04]
This is my first nail gun that I've purchased. It saved time for me big time. The gun is smooth and works as advertised. Make sure to use a couple of drops of tool oil each day and it will work fine. I used three different size nails and just changed the nails. Also make sure you test fire "before" actually using on your work piece. The gun is very powerful with the compressor set to max pressure. It takes a couple of minutes to set up or tune the gun with the compressor. Also if your working on a job site with no heat, you will have to warm up the compressor so it will work properly. The oil in the compressor gets thick in the cold. Make sure you keep the oil level in the compressor properly filled. I used mine for three weeks and never had to fill it. Just check every day before using. Keep the compressor on a level surface or it will spew oil all over the place out of the crankcase vent.
Overall the kit is first class and the parts that come with it are heavy duty. A little general tuning for each project and your working as fast as you can go.

Works fine for me [Posted on 2007-07-02]
I bought this kit in November (I think) and it has worked fine since then. It arrived without issue, and started up fine inside. The gun has worked fine as well, though it does kick a little bit much (a star off) it has not had any serious problems, as long as one oils it regularly. The compressor was a little finicky in cold weather, but heat it up (to around 55F or so), and it will do just fine.

Edit: Still working great...both the nailer and the compressor, though I have found that the compressor likes to be warm to start (when sitting outside, usually under non-ideal powering on older homes). After it has filled, I have had no problems with it cycling.
