Power Up Your DIY Projects With Bostitch 3-Tool Air Compressor Combo Kit (BTFP3KIT) Review

my first compressor arrived DOA. It would no turn on and I wasn't about to start disassembling a brand new out of the box compressor. I filed a return request with ebay, they arranged UPS to pick it up at my door and two days later I had a new replacement. That's an A plus for ebay. Now the compressor. I needed a small portable compressor in addition to the old shop standby that I've been using for decades. I've been putting this through the paces that includes 3" framing nails all the way…

I was hesitant purchasing an oil-less compressor. There were three air tackers included as a package deal and that seemed a good buy. It was. Set up the compressor, it worked great and ran reasonably quiet as compressors go. After shutting down the power I left the tank pressurized at 125psi and the manifold pressure at 90psi. The compressor held pressure 5 days & 4 nights with no leak down.So far. I'd say this is a first-rate little portable compressor.

This is my first air compressor & tools, and using the stapler to lock down some chicken fencing was an utter blast. getting there took a bit. The instructions are quite long and expansive, and the little bit to close up the pressure release valve on the bottom wasn't too clear to me at first, as I couldn't figure out why the unit wasn't building pressure after plugging it into the wall. Once I finally found that line in the instructions, things went nice and quick and so much fun. This weekend

Works great. My contractor uses the same one, so I feel good about the purchase. The hose left something to be desired. Seems like it leaks at certain angles, but the value with the tools rolled in makes up for it. Not terribly loud, but you don't want to use it at night. Pancake compressors just are what they are. Not the most ergonomic design, but seemingly a good one for performance. Carrying it around with that shape isn't great but you shouldn't have to move it every 5 minutes. Enough CFM…

I've installed about 1500 sqft of wood flooring (nail down) and several hundred linear feet of baseboard with this set. No major issues and performs fine. I had one jam in nail gun but was able to clear in a few minutes.Could not beat the price for this combo at any box store at the time of purchase.However if I was do this over again I would buy battery operated guns with built-in compressors against this style. Its worth the convenience of not having to listen to the compressor turn on all…

My one and only complaint is that some parts of the air compressor get far hotter than I'm comfortable with, but it's not enough to smoke out anything or risk a fire. Just wish the one rubber hose attached from the pump to the tank didn't get so hot, or that it could have maybe been made out of something that felt a bit more durable. Plus, that rubber hose comes out of the plastic housing rubbing on a rather sharp edge of plastic. A super heated rubber hose rubbing on a sharp edge while in…

We needed this to complete our kitchen reno and it was such a great value with the included tools! We have used everything except the stapler and we are very happy! Great for all kinda of diy projects and I used it with the Critter paint sprayer (love that thing!) to paint my cabinets and it worked wonderfully! Highly recommend for diyers.

Bought this for a project, and wish I owned one of these a long time ago. Makes the job so much easier. Tank fills fast and all the tools operate and feel well made

Great combo kit. Everything has worked just as it should.My only two complaints are extremely minor ones: Firstly, the pressure release valve pull ring is pretty flimsy, but super easy to replace (basically a key ring). Secondly, emptying the tank after use is painfully loud - but this true of compressed air systems in general.

This pack is amazing. I especially love the compressor. I have had a 33 gallon craftsman compressor for years and needed something portable, and more efficient. This little baby runs my framing nailer, and all the nailers that came in this pack better than the craftsman does. I didn't buy the pack for the stapler but thought it was a nice bonus, but after actually using it to hang Christmas lights up last week I am thoroughly impressed!I have not had a chance to use the brad nailer yet, but I…

First time using this machine, I started pressurizing and as it reached about 90-100 PSI, it started making a metallic rattling sound, as if something inside the machine was being thrown around (as opposed to the loud pressurizing sound that the compressor should be making). I switched it off and tried to inspect it from the outside but could not see any issues. I switched it on once more, this time with video in case I can get someone to diagnose the issue (see upload), and quickly switched it

This was a Christmas gift for my husband. I purchased it before Thanksgiving and was going to surprise him. Failed! LOL! ebay always puts every order I've had delivered in one of their boxes, they didn't this time, Go Figure! Guess who went to the door when it was delivered! My husband! Oh well! He loves it surprise or no surprise! Just pulled it out of the box and everything worked great! Remodeling some bathrooms and used the nail gun first, sure made it a lot easier replacing trim. It's…

it's a great Value and it works as advertised, in the description it says it's ultra quiet but for me it's extra loud, what they mean by that it's quitter than others but it's still loud for some people, It fills up in about 4 minutes so you won't have that noise all the time, i bought some valves to fill up car tires, also a blower to blow dust away, longer coiled hose, and an impact wrench, it comes with a 15' hose but this tank is designed to take 2 hoses at once so you can have 2 things…

This air compressor is the perfect size for the small projects I will need it for. The price I paid for it and the 3 guns was a total steal.

Tools worked great no problems. Bought nails and staples at hardware store. Very good tools. Would buy again. Very happy. Adjusted depth on tool and pressure adjustment for nail depth. Where ear protection eye protection. All I needed was safety gear,air tool oil (two drops in tool) and Buy nails. And in business. Use owners manual for care and use of tools.

Unless you set up camp on a jobsite for months this is all you need. It will not keep up with a framing gun, but it can run two brad or finish guns just fine. It is light and easy to deploy and collapse back. I have owned these compressors for the better part of twenty years and none have ever failed me. They work when it is freezing cold(-20F) or when it is hot (100F). They are loud and sound like they'll explode at any second. But they won't and they are work horses. I have watched many work…

Well to start the compressor set came fast and packaged well from damage. Then let ms tell you about Quality PLUS price. I am the world's biggest nitpicker and have way too high expectations.,and this set met my high expectations. Easy to maneuver and is perfect for around the house projects. I am helping a friend build a small home and thanks to this set it is almost done! I'll add more pics later

I am surprisingly happy with this combo for the price. I expected something cheaper for the price but I see no issues. Love my new tools!

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…

Can’t speak to general contracting use but for a diy homeowner this has been fantastic. I’ve replaced a bunch of trim with this. Even redid a shed roof. The compressor has worked perfect. The nailers included have all worked great as well.
