DON'T BUY FOR HOME IMPROVEMENT - GET THE Stanley/Bostitch CPACK1 INSTEAD
Customer Rating: 




Don't buy this for home improvement use! (which is how I made the mistake)
This is only good for stapling cloth to furniture and things like that.
If you only want to inflate tires and balls just get a little $20 pump with no bottles - it'll also take up less space.
It is made fine, but it's just too weak for any thing practical.
- There isn't enough CFM to hold even low pressures like 40 psi (eg a little air brush)
- The pump is REALLY weak and struggles after 40psi so recharge takes F O R E V E R when you need 40+ psi (eg nailing, bike tires etc).
I _really_ didn't want to spend more than $100 to put up $100 of crown moulding but I've had too... I returned this and I went to Lowe's and got the Stanley/Bostitch 2-in-1 ("CPACK1") - it's here on Amazon too. I would have got it here but I need it NOW. The Bostitch is a 6 gallon/2HP compressor with a 16 gauge (not 18gauge like this) 1-5/8" brad/staple gun combo. I feel better now. I am also confident that I could later buy a nailer (eg for 2-3inch nails) and the compressor would do a good job at keeping up with putting in a dozen nails while reframing a window etc.
here's a link to the Stanley/Bostitch combo:

AMAZON was fantastic processing a no-questions-asked return.
