Bostitch BTFP02012 6 Gallon Pancake Compressor

I purchased this to install cedar planking inside a closet in my house. I needed both a brad nailer and a compressor. When i saw that a compressor was $149 alone and a combo was 169, it seemed to be too good to pass up. The Compressor: Wow, i am impressed. First thing right off the bat i noticed was the fact that it is noticeably lighter than other comparable units. This will be nice for the person doing a trim job in a hallway who has to move the unit often. It has two fittings as well which will also lend itself to doing a trim job/crown molding since you can use two different guns without switching air. Its little things like this, that prove to me that the engineers who designed this did their homework. I plugged this into a 15 Amp outlet and it performed well and didn't trip the breaker. Another feather in the designers hat was this machine not only pumps up fast, but it is also in my opinion 20-25% quieter than a run of the mill pancake compressor. I would still wear hearing protection if you are doing an indoor job that requires frequent refilling, but it was noticeable enough to me to note. The final thing i noticed about the compressor that i really liked, was the fact the overall build just feels solid. The wide handle on top for transport and all the accessories on it don't rattle or anything like that. Very nice. Brad Nailer: Obviously this is an add on to the kit, so i wasn't sure what to expect as far as quality. Especially with this only adding $20 to the overall cost of the compressor, i wasn't sure what to expect. The build quality seems solid enough. It's certainly not the most ergonomic thing I've ever held, but for the price it is great. Its pretty much a no frills unit. I attached a picture of some of the cedar paneling i was installing in my closet. I used the supplied brads and i didn't have one jam on me (which was my concern, since i don't see a door to easily clear one). Overall, for the small projects i have around the house like shoe moldings and this project, it will be more than sufficient for my needs. This kit is excellent and a great investment for a home owner. A great time saver for those small/infrequent and monotonous projects. I expect this with proper care, to last me for a long time.

Léger et compact. S’entrepose bien dans un petit logement. Peut servir autant pour des petits travaux de menuiserie que pour l’entretien minutieux de vélo tout terrain (fat bike).

El compresor se ajusta a la descripción del mismo, por tanto funciona muy bien. Sin embargo, es importante señalar que si la intención es operarlo en un lugar cerrado, debe considerarse usar protectores auditivos, pues sí es bastante ruidoso. Otro dato que no se especifica es el tiempo de carga a partir de cero, el cual suma tres minutos y siete segundos (3:07) hasta que se detiene automáticamente en 150 psi. En general, es liviano, estético y funcional.

Es bastante bueno (ruidoso como la mayoría de los compresores), las pistolas de clavos son excelentes, con el mantenimiento adecuado no hay problemas, de hecho hasta ahora ninguna de las dos se le han trabado los clavos. La manguera es muy resistente y de calidad superior. Muy recomendado

I worried for nothing. Everything works as well as I hoped. I have several hundred nails through both guns now, and not a single malfunction. The compressor is… well, it’s not quiet, that’s for sure, but as far as compressors go, it’s not bad. The gauges and regulator work well, as does the regulator. I don’t have a lot of experience with air tools, so I tried a bunch of different air pressures fro 80 to 130. One twist of a knob, and pressure is set. The tank has a nice, semi-knurled bleeder valve on the bottom of the tank. That’s to release the pressure if you’re not going to be using it for a while, as well as to bleed out any accumulated water. When I first fired it up, I didn’t know about the valve, and it was open. (Directions? Who reads those??) Obviously that made a lot of noise as the pressure was leaking right back out with a loud whooshing sound. Once I figured that out, it was MUCH quieter haha. With the valve closed, the tank fills up and shuts off in about two minutes from empty, and only kicks on once in a while. I really didn't want to hear it at all though, so I grabbed
