 Good Assortment of Accessories | |
| This is a good place to start your air accessory collection, although I would modify it a little to make it more useful. I bought it to complement my Porter Cable 3hp compressor, which is equipped with M-style quick connects. It has two accessories that require a male M-style coupler plugs, (the blow gun and tire chuck), but only three of this style coupler plug. If you have more than one air tool to setup, you will need additional male M-style coupler plugs (Tool Crib #727BK @$1.00). The plastic tire pressure gauge is functional, but nothing special. The brass hose repair barbs are nice, but there are no hose clamps provided if you have to use them. I would be hesitant to put them under pressure without a band clamp holding them in place. The two female couplers and female coupler plugs will complete two 3/8" air hoses. The blow gun is a quality, versatile unit. It comes with a rubber tip, metal tip and pin inflator for balls. The valve is easily operated and it does not leak. With the exception of the plastic tire gauge, all the parts are high quality and useful. I could have done without the tire gauge in exchange for a few more quality parts (male coupler plugs and screw type band hose clamps). If the assortment had been a little more complete, this would rate five stars. You will also need a roll of teflon plumbers tape to seal all the threads. Now you know what else you need to finish outfitting your compressor. | |
 Okay for Starters | |
| I bought this kit because I live and work in a remote place where it takes an hour and a half or more to get anywhere where I can pick up little parts. For anyone living in a more convenient place, I suggest that you go round to your local hardware store or tool supplier and buy better quality parts as you need them. The pieces are okay, but they are not machined very well. For instance, the threaded components require a lot of effort to get them tight enough to stop leaks. Better machining, and good brass or bronze, would make them fit and work better. If you are just starting out, the kit is okay, but that is as far as it goes. | |
| Should have bought something else. | |
| Wish I bought just the stuff I needed at Home Depot. Would have saved some money. Quality was not a problem though I have no use for the tire pressure guage. |
