[@morkmeatshield5373]

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.

[@jaykay18]

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. 🙏

My hose from the same kit still seems to be going strong 7+ years later under occasional use, although admittedly the coils aren't as tight as they were when they were from the package.

[@jaykay18]

With occasional use, not left under pressure for an extended period of time, and stored out of sunlight, they can hold up for some time.

[@lawrencehipple7696]

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]

You should see another video I have called "Harbor Freight By Any Other Name, It's STILL The Same". After viewing that, you'll realize it doesn't matter if it says Central Pneumatic or Dewalt on it.

[@Chronic2001]

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.

[@davida7229]

8:50 do we have to connect this coupler into the end of the hose or can we just connect the blow gun and male connector on to the hose?

[@jaykay18]

You can connect the hose directly to the blow gun. But then you can't use the hose for anything else. That's why I recommend using the quick-disconnect fittings for your air tools.

[@Mixwell1983]

When you say at 1:11 its not useful you missed the option where people screw these 2 together to act as a pass thru when say converting an old propane tank into an air tank and need to fill up their auxiliary propane/air tank.. i know the videos old but there are some uses.. Yah I know it isn't typical but I am actually considering doing that and have both the male ends with female and male theads as you mentioned being useless but I am wondering if i should buy the female quick connect, 8 ft 3/8 hose etc when i could possibly just buy this kit and use what i need and have spare parts. This kit seems like a 1 stop shop for me but perhaps i may 86 the cheap 1/4 line and buy the 3/8 to use. I would never use the 1/4 line for my actual air compressor but for an auxiliary tank on the cheap id consider it.. its best to buy a 3/8 hose if you plan to hook it up to a dedicated air compressor.

[@jaykay18]

Most times, the type of people buying a kit like this are new with compressed air, and would have no such use case. With that said, I have both a male-to-male and female-to-female adapter made up, along with an Industrial-to-Automotive adapter and Automotive-to-Industrial adapter. It's extremely rare I will use any of those 4 adapters, though I have in the past. There's nothing wrong with any of the parts in this kit per se. They are not the highest quality out there but for limited use case they should be more than sufficient. 1/4 line is great for jobs that aren't as demanding. In the same location that this was recorded, I have an old junker 6-gallon compressor gave me. 3/8" hose runs along the ceiling to the other end, where a 1/4" coiled hose is attached, and a blow gun for dusting. The 1/4" hose lets me pull it down from the ceiling when I need it, and goes back when I'm done. 3/8" hose should be used for more demanding applications.

[@tallboyyyy]

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.

[@tallboyyyy]

The nozzle on the blow guns I have at work are longer with much larger side holes so maybe that is the difference.

That sounds like something I'd love to see!

[@jaykay18]

@@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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/boTWd4Gjlptqobs

im still lost what piece do you connect to the compressor i cant find the right piece im so lost great video

[@jaykay18]

Every compressor is different. Some just have a tire chuck at the end. Others will have a female quick disconnect fitting. Yet others have no fitting at all and just a threaded hole. A picture of it, like a website listing showing the controls and where the air comes out would suffice.

[@SkibidiUnc]

when you put the fittings on the hose do you use the teflon tape and or do you tighten the brass fittings with a wrench (or just hand tighten without tape)?

[@jaykay18]

ANY screw thread fitting gets teflon tape and is tightened with a wrench. If you skip any of that, it will leak, and you will know it immediately.

[@SkibidiUnc]

@@jaykay18 Thanks. One more question. I purchased a coil hose and it has one end with two nuts and the other just has one. Doesn't explain which fitting goes on which end.

[@jaykay18]

@@SkibidiUnc The end with 2 nuts is probably a swivel fitting, it allows the piece attached to swivel around without tangling up the hose with it. Typically, you'd put the tool at the swivel end with 2 nuts, but that wouldn't really be necessary if you're installing a female air fitting at the end of the hose. That's because by default, the male plug that fits in is able to swivel 360° already by default, so it really doesn't buy you much. If you wanted to install the hose directly to a tool instead of using a quick disconnect fitting, you'd use the end with the two nuts, so the tool can swivel on the hose. I have no problem answering your questions, but I didn't have a guy like me I could go to and ask. So I learned all of this stuff by just trying it and doing it the wrong way. That taught me real well.

[@KenYamaguchi-sg5zr]

Very informative. I'm looking for my first compressor for tires (now) but also later may use it for air blower and air tools. From your comments, it sounds like the coiled plastic pipe is not a sturdy, long-term item and so after I buy the starter kit, it might be wise to buy a real compressor hose. Thank you, jaykay18!

[@jaykay18]

Thanks very much. Yes, this is a starter kit. It will get you by for a while. The coiled plastic hose can indeed break, and doesn't deliver the most airflow, but it's often convenient for certain applications. You can start with a small compressor for tires, but it likely won't have enough air to take care of tools. That's perfectly all right if you are prepared to buy a larger compressor at a later time; the smaller one can still be used for smaller jobs and is portable. The important thing to remember is to never buy based on price, but always buy based on the job at hand. Always better to buy more compressor than you need so it can handle larger tasks.

[@KenYamaguchi-sg5zr]

@@jaykay18 THANK YOU! Since I don't have an immediate need for a larger compressor like a 26 gallon wheeled type, it makes sense to just get the smaller pancake type for my tires. I can wait and see if I need a bigger one for other projects. Thank again for your additional help!

[@jaykay18]

@@KenYamaguchi-sg5zr You're very welcome.

[@4u25out]

When should one use “safety nozzle “ is it recommended? TIA.

[@jaykay18]

Safety nozzles are designed to prevent blockages, ensuring that the pressure at the nozzle remains low enough to reduce the possibility of injury. The holes produce a Venturi effect, drawing surrouding air in. That causes more air to flow through (a larger volume), while being at a lower pressure than other nozzles.

[@gremmiehodad]

FINALLY, I found an instructional video that's actually helpful! My only problem is at 9:40 your video "skips" and you don't say you're putting a Female quick connect plug on one end of the coil hose.

[@marvinjenkins4901]

Hello again. Question. My 2 yr old compressor has a broken guage (the one for the tank). The one for the tool or hose works fine. Is the compressor still safe to use?

[@jaykay18]

Absolutely. It's like a car with a broken speedometer. It still drives just fine, but you can't see the speed you're going. In a lot of cases, if you go the same speed as traffic around you, you'll probably be just fine. (I did that for a few months with an old car I had). In the case of the air compressor, you just can't see how much pressure is in the tank. But the unit has a pressure switch of some kind that will shut the compressor off when it reaches its full pressure. No worries about it over-pressurizing, the unit is required by law to have a blow-off valve in the event that pressure switch fails. Let's be honest, nobody looks at the gauge on their compressor much, as long as it has sufficient air for the task at hand. I'm sure, by the same token, you have taken many trips in the car where you can't remember ever looking at the speedometer.

Especially considering it's a starter kit; I have had the same experience here.

[@Finessing_Sam]

I bought this kit. Connected it right, I think. But when I go to press trigger on the air gun, no air will come through the hose. It’s building pressure and working according to the gauges. Just can’t get air to come through hose

[@jaykay18]

It could be the blow gun doesn't work. Try a different accessory. If it doesn't work either, you did something wrong.

[@Finessing_Sam]

@@jaykay18 yeah I tried the blow gun with the nozzle piece on and off, didn’t work and I tried the tire gauge one and it didn’t pump my tire up. Is it possible the air compressor itself is broken?

[@jaykay18]

@@Finessing_Sam Yes, it's possible. Take one of the unused fittings, that will plug into the air compressor, and plug it in. If no air comes out, you have a problem with the compressor. BE AWARE: This will be a full open port, so the air will escape with force and it will be loud.

If you buy a compressor that's too small for the job, it won't work well and you will need a bigger one. There are many different types of hoses, mainly PVC and rubber. Rubber costs more and will last longer, and is also more flexible in colder temperatures. Otherwise PVC is fine. Tools are up to the job you need to do. That's your crash course.

@@jaykay18Oh I bight a fortress ultra quite 2 gallon 135 psi also bought (1) 23 gauge nail and (1) 18 gauge pin nail a while ago but never tried it yet till now but I really need to find a hose for both but dont know where to buy for affordable price that why i watched you video but didnt say anything for the pin nail this is the only thing I dont know to really buy since where are so many things with it

[@litahsr.8226]

also everything I bought was from Harbor Freight wondering it that Central Pneumatic 20 Pc Air Compressor as the video you got will work for the 18g and 23g nail guns?

[@Mr1975mpg]

Could I use this on the central pneumatic airbrush compressor?

[@jaykay18]

Yes, with the right adapters, but that compressor is way too underpowered for this stuff. That's why it's an airbrush compressor.

[@mynameis.....9179]

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]

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.

Thanks for sharing this! About how much for this set?

[@jaykay18]

I don't list the prices because prices are always subject to change. I recorded this video about 5 years ago, and surely the price has changed since then. You could simply go to their website and look it up by item number to find the current price.

[@jamunamadhava3214]

What else do you need along with starter kit?

[@jaykay18]

An air compressor is a good start, kind of useless without one. As for what else you'd need is dependent on your needs. There are hoses of different diameters, made out of different materials, that are different lengths. There are desiccant dryers, valves, and regulators. Then a whole host of different tools for many different jobs.

Is this a good quality? How long did it last?

[@jaykay18]

When you get all of these parts together in a kit for a very low price, you tell me how the quality is. You can have good, you can have cheap, but not in the same sentence. That all being said, with the exception of the hose, the parts from this kit are all still in service all of these years later, so it's held up fairly well.

[@ladha99]

@@jaykay18 I’m looking for a better quality but I wasn’t able to find any. Hence looking for suggestion for good quality air compressor blow gun and accessories
