That’s a beautiful picture right there.

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012

Thanks Chad! I agree!

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012

Still no word on the Bosch Multi tool or Milwaukee yet but…I got to use my new Klein tools yesterday installing wiring and a light. Sweet, super heavy duty and comfortable. I’m going to HD today to pick up some Klein 8″ needle nose pliers to accommodate my new tools!

Dude. That is one nice looking pile of tools tight there!! I’m super excited for you!

The only thing I can comment on is the JC10 your gonna love that thing.. being in an indoor shop you will really appreciate how quiet it is..

don’t expect to be running g a hvlp gun off it or high consumption air tools but for things like nail guns, blow guns, inflating tasks I don’t thing there is a better compressor out there.

They had an issuextra with the drain plug when they first released.. it was a knurled brass screw plug and it was impossible to make it not leak. They sent replacement 1/4 turn valves with little black handles to anyone who needed it and I’m sure they stared using the new part on all the current production but just something to check… even if you have the old style and it leaks air, I found rolairs customer service to be among the best!!

Ooh, ps.. if you didn’t know, like any compressor your gonna want to drain the tank often.. I usually leave the valve open during longer periods of no use. Condensation builds up in the tank and will prematurely rust it out

Thanks John I appreciate that! How’s about running a small paint gun on the compressor? I’m thinking for applying lacquer and stain to products? I watched Dave Reinhold run a framing gun on his! He wasn’t speed nailing but it was doing a great job!

madman_usMember since Sep 2014

running a framing gun shouldn’t be a problem, you just cant have to wait sometimes until the compressor refilled itself.

im planning to buy the bosch cet4-20w (2hp 4gallon) and gonna run a spray gun on it to apply lacquer and it will do the job.

I just cant do a huge surface. just have to wait like 30 sec between refilling.

framing gun should be fine, you just cant go crazy like back nailing plywood super fast…   i have used it for light framing as well as nailing of plywood and even roofing guns.. its just not the compressor you are gonna use if you were building an addition or roofing a house…    thats when i roll out my gas wheelbarrow Rolair!   that thing is a beast but its loud to listen to it all day… 

 

as far as a paint gun, check the cfm rating of the guns your looking at… they can be all over the place.     rolair lists the jc10 at 3.8cfm/40psi and 2.35cfm/90psi      those numbers should tell you what tools you can and cant use with it

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012

Thanks John. My last compressor sucked (not blew….go figure) and air for tires and my finish nailer were it. This is a real treat. I am still floored when I look at these tools.

comp56Member since Sep 2014

check your CFM rating on tool and check it against specs of compressor you can then decide if it will work or for how much time is waiting to refill….I run a upholstery stapler on low 40lbs or so and rifle out about 300 staples per

It’s like Christmas everyday the mail truck comes bye.

madman_usMember since Sep 2014

chris prolly waits behind the window and looks to the street for the mail man 😀

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012

No time to wait!!!! Gotta go go go! Works has been really busy and I’m working with Samantha to convert the upstairs bedroom into a suite and build my shop! Can’t wait to get and try that multi tool though! I’ve got plans my man…BIG plans! And like Regopit, when the Alpha Unit (Wife) sees projects unfurling my list gets longer and my smile gets bigger!

JavierMember since Aug 2013
