BostitchBTFP1KIT 1-Tool and Compressor Combo Kit

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.

It works beautifully.

This is the perfect residential nail gun. I cannot stop using it. Perfect size, easy to use. I could not be happier with it. It’s perfect for all those unfinished projects and small fixes that need to be done around the house. It’s my new favorite tool.

Really good small air compressor. A bit noisy - buy an extra length of air hose to keep the air compressor at distance. Quick recovery.

PROSRelatively lightweight and portable: great compressor for tires, brad nailer and staplers.CON2.6 SCFM @ 90 psi is not enough air to run impacts, ratchets or grinders.

I bought this as an inside (clean) house, small project compressor for driving nail/staple guns. Well rated, a reasonable price, relatively quiet, holds air reliably, fast refill, decent instrumentation/control, convenient bleed valve and smaller footprint for an easy-to-move tool. The included hose is sufficient for smaller rooms or the unit conveniently moved avoiding a too long tangle plus it was a match for my quick release tools. I haven't used the included gun as yet preferring my own but it seems solidly made. Works great and should last a long time...

First compressor I ordered was damaged and did not hold air. Amazon quickly replaced it! I am a DYIer and this compressor was easy to use and soooo convenient. I used it with the 16 brad nailer to put up cedar tongue and groove in our sauna. The nailer jammed once and was not too easy to clean out, had to look on You Tube for instructions. All in all, I am very satisfied with this purchase!

For this price the set is better than expected. The compressor and Nail Gun work very well despite being mid-priced tools. The air compressor is not quiet but I've never heard one that is.Update: The depth that the brads are driven is inconsistent. It ranges from flush to 1/8" deep even at max pressure and the nailer set for max depth. A couple taps with a nail set resolves this though so not a big problem.
