Great Value but...

2007-11-08
I have used Dewalt tools for the past 10 years and have never taken one to the shop. This compressor kit was a great value for the money but the "pump" died after 30 minutes of use. Fortunately for me a certified repair center was only 15 minutes from home but if you are not close to a center you might want to weight that fact in your purchase (as with any other mail order purchase). My authorized repair center used the serial number and did not even request a purchase agreement for the free repair.

Still, it is a great value and I like the nailers better than other brands I have used in the past. There are sturdy and easy to access a possible jams.

My kit arrived with a travel "bag" but I would prefer if they had include a plastic case - being a little more rugged.

It is the quietest compressor I have ever used for the 125 PSI pressure rating.

Worth the money!

great for my projects

I bought this combo kit a month ago and it has opened up a whole new approach to wood working projects for me. Using the brad nailer, in just a couple of minutes I can create a fixture out of scrap wood to hold all the parts of my current project (bird feeder, small table, etc) at exactly the right angle so I can assemble it easily and quickly. My stuff sure looks a lot more professional that it ever did before. The old maxim still holds true: if you want to do the job right, you have to use the right tools.

My only complaint, the kit does not include hard cases for the two nailers. So I ordered them from [...].

Dewalt Compressor/nail gun combo

2007-09-27
I do a lot of drywall repair and re-texturing of ceilings & wall areas. I had to replace my old compressor which weighed 50 lbs and was looking for something easier to carry. This compressor works fine, is easy to carry but does run low on compression sometimes because of the small tank. This has not been a problem for me because it does recover quite quickly. I have really enjoyed the compressor in my day to day work and have also used both nail guns on a couple of projects. They worked well and made my jobs so much easier. I am really glad that I made the purchase.

Good Tool for a Newbie

I'm not a pro, so I considered purchasing a much cheaper compressor and nail gun to install some trim in my home. I'm glad I decided to spend the extra money for this tool. It's made installing the trim a breeze. I'm looking forward to tackling new projects using this, and it's made me a believer in DeWalt products.

DeWalt Combo Kit

Excellent combination of heavy-duty nailers and air compressor kit. Dependable equipment and can do the job fast and efficiently.

Great little set

2008-03-07
I purchased this set to finish putting up bead board and chair rail in my family room. Amazon had great shipping and everything arrived as stated.

The guns performed well as did the tank. The tank is smaller than I expected and it had to recycle often to keep up even with a moderate amount of nailing.

The tank is small and can be easily carried to whatever room or location you need to use it.

I am planning to order a larger one for my shed where I can use bigger tools on it.

It was a great value for the three items and I would purchase it again.

Might be great, but DOA

Unit arrived quickly. Got it all assembled and ready to test and discovered that the lever for the drain valve was broken off. I looked around some more and found the lever in the bottom of the packing container; the brass shaft was sheared off and can not be reconnected.

While unpacking I noticed some things that made me wonder if someone else had returned the unit--that now seems likely.

So now I am left with the options of trying to repack and return it to amazon or taking it to the nearest DeWalt repair center to be repaired. I hate the idea of keeping something that is defective from Day One, but the size of the box will make this a challenge to return.

Any suggestions?

This is great!!

I recently purchased this item and am completely satisfied with its performance and value. This is my first experience with a nail gun and compressor set, and can only say I wish I would have bought it sooner. It works GREAT!!!!!!! I've done a fair amount of finish carpentry work in the past, and can really appreciate the time savings this unit provides. It's compact, easy to carry, and and lives up to the high standards that my other Dewalt tools have set.

Great starter combo kit

What a great buy! I bounce from house to house installing windows and doors and this DeWalt Compressor has done it all from framing to finishing. Its easy to carry room to room and up and down stairs, definitely better than the Porter Cable pancake compessor. The two connections for separate hoses is great, especially when working with other people. The guns a very durable. I only wish the finish gun had the angled clip for tight spots like doing crown, but it still get the job done. No complaints about the brad gun. A must buy!
