My father in-law bought this kit at Home Depot back in January. He told me about it and I saw it but just couldn't plunk down the money. Then I helped him put all new baseboards in his house last weekend. I got home, got on Amazon.com and found that there was a sale coupon which brought the price down to about $275.00 for this kit. SOLD!! This is an awesome kit. Great nailers, Great Compressor at a GREAT price. Other people have reviewed the equipment so I won't repeat what you know. Snatch one of these up ASAP before there gone. I know Home Depot in the Sacramento Area no longer sells them, all sold out. If your looking at it, you'd better buy it now, they ain't gonna last much longer. I did the Free shipping and I got lucky. Ordered it on 6/28/04 @ 727 am PDT, and received it today, 6/29/04 @ 1227 pm PDT, OVERNIGHT for free, WOW. God bless Amazon, God Bless Porter Cable and most importantly God Bless the United States of America. Now, I'm gonna go build something, don't know what, but I'm gonna build something.

Take Care

great value nailer kit (Rating: 5.00)
Review : This combo nail gun/air compressor set is a great product combination and wonderful value. I really like it. Each nail gun comes complete with a sturdy plastic carry case, a supply of nails, and tool oil. Everything comes pretty much ready to use. Just break in the air compressor (which only takes 15 minutes) and you are ready to go. The air compressor moves around from vibration when it starts up - I had to put it on a rubber mat to keep it from scooting along my basement floor. It probably wouldn't be a problem on a job site where the floor is not so smooth. The guns load easily. I used the finish nailer to build a display rack for my wife and had no mis-fires or jams using Porter-Cable nails. (I bought the B & C nails that Amazon advertised for these guns, but after later reading the negative reviews about them, I have been reluctant to use them - don't waste your money on them like I did - you can buy Porter-Cable nails at local big name home centers, which are not all that expensive).

This is a great value and well worth the money spent. However, UPS handling has gotten so bad with heavier items that you will be taking a chance by buying it online.

Great value! (Rating: 5.00)
Review : This kit is an amazing value. One Senco nailer costs more than this whole set. As some one said earlier, I got tired of borrowing compressors and guns from relatives. I used the brad nailer to make 11 porch rail columns out of MDO plywood. (That's 44 pieces that needed to be glued and nailed.) This task would have taken me days with the conventional hammer and nails. I finished the project in an evening. The brad nailer is an extremely useful tool when building projects that require gluing. The thin gauge brads hold the project together while the glue is curing and the leave a hole that is practically invisible. This replaces the use of many clamps or clamps in awkward positions.
The finish nailer is easier to load and as smooth as my father's $300 Senco finish nailer. It is also about half the weight. The ability to drive 2-1/2" nails is a big plus.
The compressor is a little loud but extremely efficient. It actually powered a Senco framing nailer better than the Emglo compressor I am used to using. These tools are great for the hobbyist, home improvement guru, or home craftsmen and they will last for many years. However, the everyday use of a professional will probably wear out the finish nailer and compressor in a year or so. But if you work out of your home you can't go wrong with this set up.

Outstanding value! (Rating: 4.00)
Review : What an outstanding value. I picked up my compressor yesterday, and finally opened it in the evening. After a quick 15 minute break-in I assembled the air-hose using the supplied connectors, teflon tape and some wrenches. My kit came with a Porter-Cable accessory package that included an airgun, extra connectors, ball needles etc.

After quickly reading the directions on the nail guns while the compressor ran through its break-in I was in business. Assembling the guns is quick, with only a few drops of oil and loading of the brads necessary. I was able to quickly tack down a particle board top to my workbench and the depth of the nails was perfect right out of the box. My wife has plans for me to install crown moulding and my quick test confirmed that these guns will do that perfectly!

The only complaint is that the connectors supplied with the airhose are robust, and a little stiff. It is a struggle to get the nail guns to latch onto the connectors, requiring a little wiggling while air escapes. I expect they may loosen up over time. I prefer the connectors that came with the accessory kit. In addition, the packaging for the nail guns says they come with allen/hex wrenches but I could not find mine. Not a big deal since I have plenty of them in my toolbox, but if you don't it is something to watch for.

Should have bought it long ago!! (Rating: 5.00)
Review : WAY COOL! What else can I say. Should have bought it long ago, but thought I could get by with a hammer and a nail set. Change is tough. Buy it!!!

Crown Molding the EZ way...... (Rating: 5.00)
Review : I purchased the P-C Combo Kit to install crown molding. This is the best deal available. The compressor is indeed quite noisy. Wear ear protection. Never had a nail gun jam. Wish I had purchased one earlier. I bought this with the "Crown Molding & Trim Instalation Kit by Quint Measuring Systems". Buy the compressor kit with the Quint book & Angle finders & you won't make a single mistake. I didn't. Quint MS also offers an Excel program that is very nice. Just measure & plug in the value..... couldn't be easier. For my first attempt at installing crown molding, you couldn't tell my work from a pro's.

Porter Cable compressor/nailer combo kit (Rating: 5.00)
Review : Although I didn't buy this item from Amazon, I got the very same deal from a local retailer but didn't have to wait for it to ship. The compressor is a bit quieter than I expected, a nice surprise. Everything you need to get started with this combo pack is included - air hose, fittings, and even a roll of teflon tape comes with it - nice attention to detail. The brad and finish nailers have both operated flawlessly thus far. They won't see heavy use but I went out and bought a couple of different sizes of brads and nails to go with the guns even though each comes with 1000 fasteners of the largest size. Obviously, the air compressor will have a multitude of uses around the garage/shop when you aren't using the nailers. If you're the occasional handyman or hobbyist, you can't go wrong with this combo.
