Tool Force A-C5 Air Brush Kit

Product is ok for general airbrush work but will not do any finer details as it lacks the precision. The vinyl hose that comes with it stays coiled no matter how much you try to straighten it out. The 1/8" fittings don't mate very well with the airbrush or compressor adapter and leaks air. I've since replaced it with a longer, braided hose.

This airbrush was cheap but perfectly fine to use and higher quality than I expected for the price, though I haven't used any others so I can't compare well. The directions weren't too useful, but it was not difficult to put together at all, it comes with everything you need as long as you have a compressor and a normal-sized airhose, which the adaptor fits.I have been using it to paint different cloths for a costume, and it sprays well from a variety of distances, leaving an even coat, it is easy to heat-cure the paint with an iron. If you need to define smaller lines (down to about 1/4 inch) you can set the nozzle to be smaller and just get the brush closer to the material. It is not hard to hold or direct, and is not difficult to clean with airbrush cleaner liquid and a simple pipe cleaner. If you want absolutely perfect lines you can just use painter's tape to define the edges of whatever you're painting and then spray an even coat.

Overall it's probably a case of you get what you pay for. But at this point I think I have almost as much epoxy on the "regulator" piece that you screw onto a can of propellant as there was plastic to begin with trying to plug up all the leaks, I've found at least 3 so far, but I think I'm running out of places so maybe it will end at 3. The airbrush itself is ok I guess, it's my first time trying to use one so I can't really say to much about that, it sprayed paint though.

its a best seller but i would suspect the air system into is poorly designed for usefullness. i dont like deluting too much the paints. its clogs at time and the bottles fall off the spray head. its a great toy but beside that its going to be a toy.

What size jar lid adaptor does this airbrush take? 150, 155, 175, etc.? I bought a few extra bottles, all with full closed lids, and want one more lid with the adaptor hook-up to the airbrush. I'm a wee bit new at this, so please throw me any info you can.Thanks!Angrew

ok for general but dont expect to do any fine detail work with it. tip is very temperamental, and need to thin paint exact every time.

First off the button leaks, the adapter for a propellent bottle does not fit the hose. The ends of the hose constantly fall out. I had to buy additional parts from the local hobby shop to get this thing working correctly. I found with in a few minutes I wished I had spent some extra money on a quality airbrush. Next month getting a compressor and a 3 airbrush set up. I paint guitars and this airbrush is not worth the 10 dollars I spent on it.

I have had 3 of these airbrushes over the past 14 years and find they are fine for most all types of painting except for very fine lines or dots. Most of that can be overcome by masking.
