Works great after ~ 6 months September 1, 2010
REW (Indianapolis, IN)
My wife purchased this model compressor/nailer new from a home improvement store. I have been extremely happy with it after ~ 6 months. I have been using it to inflate endless pool toys and bike/auto/lawnmower tires, and I have used the nailer to install a ton of baseboards after replacing our entire floor. I always had enough power with the nailer, and the compressor fills very quickly. I leave the compressor outside or in the garage during use, so the noise during refill is not that loud. Only occassionlly would it need to run at all to refill the compressor, but I don't find the noise too loud. I would suggest getting a different hose if you can afford it. The standard one works, but is stiff and difficult to wind up. In summary I am very pleased with this purchase.

The compressor and brad nailer both looked new. Drain valve was broken when I opened the box. Easy fix, but annoying. Other than the drain valve everything worked well. It's pretty loud for a small compressor. Overall I'm happy with the purchase. I would have rated it higher if the drain valve was not broken.

This is my first factory reconditioned power tool, but if what I've experienced so far is any indication, it will not be my last. First off the compressor and nailer arrived within the 5 days promised. I've seen some reviews of not being properly packed for shipment. While mine was not packed with bubble wrap or foam peanuts, the box was the proper size and shape to protect it during shipping. The compressor included hose, inflator, fittings, teflon tape and instructions. The nailer arrived in the plastic carry case with oil, box of brads and instruction manual. Basically everything you need to get started.
Appearance: The compressor was in great shape, it was obvious that it was not brand new with a few scratches on the tank paint and a few scuffs here and there. I'm sure the hose and accessories were brand new because they were still in factory wrapping. Some have said that their compressor included a good quality rubber hose, mine sadly did not. I got the 25' PVC hose as listed in the description. It is stiff, and does not coil really well, but will work for me until I need a new one. The nailer appeared to be brand new until I took a close look and spotted a few small scratches on the front.
Quick Test: I decided that I would turn it on and let it run with the tank drain valve open as a breaking in period for around 30 minutes while I assembled the air chuck, uncoiled the hose and installed the QD fittings. It was raining at the time so the compressor was in my garage with the door open. It is pretty loud as many have already stated, I would say it is about as loud as my circular saw, maybe just a little more. I was expecting it to be much louder from all the complaints, but it is as loud as you would expect a compressor of this size to be. If I had to work right next to it for any period I'd want to wear some ear protection. Once I closed the valve and adjusted the regulator to max, it ran for around 3 minutes then cut off. I didn't hear any leaks so I hooked up a blower nozzle I have and held the trigger wide open. After only 7 seconds the compressor kicked back on. I stopped blowing and let it build pressure. After 1 minute it cut off again. So far so good. Next I decided to top off all the car/truck tires. While adding 3-5 psi to each of 8 tires, the compressor had to run twice. I kept airing the tires while the compressor was running and it seemed to keep up. Next I tried out the nailer. I just wanted to make sure it worked so I shot around a dozen 2" brads into stacked pieces of MDF, then pine 2 by 4 and some plywood I had lying around. It drove and countersunk all the nails without any problems.
Projects and use: My first projects using the combo were out of 3/4 plywood. I think I shot around 30 2" brads and another 40 1.25" brads and never missed a beat. If I hold the nailer correctly, the brad is shot and countersunk well into the stock. I didn't need to mess with the depth set adjustment. I shot between 15 and 20 brads before the compressor had to build up pressure again. I've also used the compressor several times for blowing sawdust off power tools and general cleaning (moving dust).
Conclusion: So far I am satisfied with this combo, especially for the great price I got it for plus free shipping. I can't attest to how long it will last of course, but like I said so far so good. The condition of the tools upon arrival was excellent and they seem to be well-built sturdy tools, not cheap or lightweight at all. The original reason I wanted a compressor was just for blowing dust in the shop and airing up tires. The compressor has to run more often than I thought it would have for blowing dust, but if I lower the pressure I can find a happy medium. I guess that is a trade off for having a pancake compressor. I like that I can carry it where I need it and it takes up about the same space as a 5 gallon bucket. The nailer sure is a handy tool that I think I will use a lot if it lasts. I like the fact that the nailer will drive as small as 5/8" or large as 2" brad. Marked down for short power cord and questionable longevity.
 Good product August 4, 2010

The compressor arrived in what looked to be new condition with only a few scuff marks on the air tank. I used it the day it arrived to put in some base molding and quarter round on almost my entire first floor. Being my first nail gun purchase it was easy to use and adjust for drive depth. I'm getting a replacement shipped to me due to a leaking air tank, but otherwise the unit worked perfectly. Also, seeing other reviews I thought it was going to be louder than it was, but it was on par with other large compressors I've used in the past.
Great addition for the tool collection! July 27, 2010

I purchased this combo kit for a crown molding project. The nail gun and compressor where more than adequate for this job. It nailed the nails through the molding which is good! I've caught myself now going to the air tools sections of sears and lowes more often now to see what other things i can get for the compressor.
Pros:
-Lightweight
-includes nailgun
-solidly built (doesn't feel or look cheap, except for 1 or two plastic knobs)
Cons:
-Doesn't include accessories like air tools for tire
-I had a guy working on my quarter round in the living room with his own nail gun, seemed like the connection between the hose and his gun was leaking as it seemed every 5 minutes the compressor would turn on and there was a constant hiss. Don't know why but maybe the hose wasn't on corrrectly or hose wasn't ompatible with his gun. I'm an amateur so couldn't really tell you.
In a nutshell:
I'm glad i didn't rent equipment and made the wise decision to purchase this. It's a welcome addition to my tools.
