Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was a little disappointed with this,
the plastic housing and belt clip are cheap and very flimsy,
a better grade plastic and a metal clip would have been a better choice if you were going to market this as workman's tool.
I could not get the Co2 cylinder filled at the welding supply shop since they did not have the fitting or scale to fill so small a cylinder, so I ended up at the paintball sport shop which did fill the cylinder for $2 and could sell me an extra backup cylinder either an 8 or 12 oz.
So I bought the 12oz for $20 and filled it to for $2.
My first time attaching the supplied 10oz cylinder to the regulator, it gushed and leaked badly
I found that the O ring seal on the bottle was getting pinched and torn, they give you 5 extra with the kit but they are cheap and gummy so every time I tried the same thing happened.
I didn't expect to have to repair a brand new tool, a little aggravated with that fact I gave up on Jac pac's bottle, and I screwed in the cylinder I bought at the paintball shop and no problem, the O ring on that bottle seams to be made of a stiffer better quality material, I guess I'm going to have to buy seals at the paintball shop for the Jac Pac bottle to work.
although the whole kit is worth the sum of its parts, this is not new or unique as they would like you to think. You can buy the Co2 bottles at the paintball store and a better quality regulator with higher pressure output from HyperFlo (google it) and a belt clip and hose from H.D. or Lowes.
First question I had, Does it work?
Brad Nailer- of corse, they have very low air pressure and consumption.
Trim nailer - yes, ran my bostitch FN60 no problem
Roof nailer- yes, But did not sink all nail heads (Bostich N12)
Framing nailer- yes, But did not sink any heads, 1/4" to ½" sticking up (Bostich N80cb)
Palm nailer- yes, but air consumption may lead to freeze up due to compressed Co2
because of the compressed Co2 this will condensate and sweat around the regulator and fittings
With the roof and framing nailer it acts as if your using too small of a compressor, but still it does work, carry your hammer with you and you don't have to haul out the compressor and hose, worth it for the convenience and time savings on smaller jobs and excellent for trim punchout.
