Dude, thank you for making this video. I recently picked up this starter kit for my own compressor and I put all the fittings on correctly without any issues. And the idea of using empty prescription bottles to hold the blow gun pieces was genius. I used one and a bigger bottle for the unused quick connect pieces and the male/female connectors.

Thanks very much for explaining about the Air Compressor Accessory Kit detailing the use of all the fittings for different purposes. I had been searching for an adaptor for a Air Blow Gun to make use of an Inflation Needle. I could not find anywhere a single purpose unit to fulfill such a function until I ran into the kits which you have so elloquently discribed. So now I can purchase such a kit with x6 Needles in a pack as there are only 2 in the kit. Many thanks, most useful. 🙏

Thanks for the info, was putting my blow gun together and almost didn't use the quick disconnect on the end of the hose where the blow gun attaches. You saved me from making a bone headed mistake. Gotta love the Harbor Freight specials. My rule of thumb with Harbor Freight is that if it doesn't plug into the wall, and it isn't a tool that will be pushed to its limits, then whatever you get should last a lifetime or close to it. Anything that does plug into the wall is about a 50/50 chance that some of the internal electronics or circuitry will have an issue in the first year or two. Generally worth grabbing a two year warranty if you can get that with the tool you are buying and still come out cheaper than buying elsewhere. Had one drill and flashlight combo crap out on me about 18 months in, and the exchange process was quick and painless.

This is a excellent presentation for new-to-pneumatics like me. I just got a HF Fortress 2 gallon compressor which I think I’m going to love. Just the right size and boy is it quiet!! I got this kit at the same time just to get started. It seems to have lots of useful parts, but...it is much less impressive than the compressor. So far I’ve encountered 3 problems. 1. The threads on the small brass reducing adapter appear to be poorly cut. The adapter will not screw into the airgun. 2. At least some of the male connectors are poorly finished and there is a slight, but significant, air leak at the coupler connection. 3. I find it very difficult to get the couplers connected and properly seated. As a beginner, perhaps I’m doing something wrong, but when I connect to the compressor the fittings slip together just as smooth and easy as can be. 4. This is not a parts problem...just me vs the world I live in...but I hate this kind of plastic packaging. I don’t hate much, but I do hate this. I’m going to try and return this stuff to HF and get better quality parts.

@jaykay18

3 жыл бұрын

@@NoemisDad77 Thank you! Make sure you know where the air is leaking from. You can fill a sink or bucket with water and submerge it and see where bubble come out. If it's definitely from the tip, the blow gun is defective. You can do any of the following: 1. Bring the kit back for exchange, if within 90 days. 2. Bring the blowgun and the receipt, they might swap the one part out for you. 3. They sell the same blowgun separate. Buy, swap, and return. 4. Try to repair the existing gun. The brass piece that goes into it, under the thumb lever, has a hex head. Perhaps it's not tightened down from the factory? Adjustable wrench will make quick work of it. If tightening doesn't work, try removing it completely, and reinstalling it. I once fixed a blowgun by doing that. Had a video on that too: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aoenqLCmkZmdm7w.html

The safety nozzle also has the benefit of when you press the lever on the blow gun and air blows through, the movement of the air creates a vacuum at the side holes which sucks in more air giving you a greater volume of air than what is coming out of your compressor. I hate those curley hoses. I much prefer a regular rubber air nose on a retractable reel.

@jaykay18

You're not the first to tell me either of those things. I still feel the airflow from the safety nozzle is lacking. And yes, I much prefer a rubber hose as well, and I have one on a retractable reel, that's waiting to go up in the garage.

One thing else to Note is the PSI ratings on the pipe. I'm sure it exceeds the pressure created by most home compressors but just letting you guys know for safety reasons.

@jaykay18

2 жыл бұрын

Even with the ratings, there's a margin of safety built in. For example, if the hose says it can handle up to 150 PSI, chances are very good it can actually handle 175 or even 200, for short periods of time. In other words, it's stable up to 150, but that doesn't mean you can't exceed it by a bit. This happens all over in life with things. For example, you might have a window air conditioner in a room. The circuit is rated for 15 amps. The air conditioner is rated for considerably less than that. However, at startup, it pulls MORE than 15 amps. It's just for a very short duration. So the ratings have a margin of safety built in but they should not be exceeded for very long.
