HOW TO USE AN AIR COMPRESSOR FOR BEGINNERS // air compressor with nail gun [TOOLtorial™]

[@linkydinkydoodledumplin]

hi, "middle-aged old guy here" and just bought a compressor. Thanks for this tutorial! Back to my warm milk and afghan now. Where's my walker?

[@lindasch5103]

Oh my goodness, I'm so glad I found this before I tried out my new air-compressor. I've never used one before and I'm a bit scared of it. The instructions with the brand I bought had nothing in them like what you have in your video - even attaching the col to the unit and air-tool wasn't in it. I'd have been running on intuition if I'd used it. I had no idea that it should be run for 30 minutes prior to using. Thank you. I'm female and 66 years old, and determined to learn to use these things.

[@RachaelGiglio]

I have that rug also thanks for the tutorial, because I've used the nail gun a million times but i never actually started up the compressor and got it set-up myself. You rock.

[@wwef6lr]

".....And it's cute!" Omg I love it. I'm also doing an accent wall and needed a nail gun. Had no clue what I was buying at first but I got everything I needed. Now I need to know how to use it without anything blowing up in my face lol. Thank you your video was helpful.

[@caranewhart]

Yay!! That makes me so happy and I’m so excited to see what you build with this!!!

[@ilyr5333]

I’m so glad I found your video! Your tool Torial explanation is exactly what I needed, I watched so many videos before this and weren’t cutting it for me!! Thanks for helping!

[@caranewhart]

Yay!! So so glad it was helpful!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 And sometimes you just need it broken down the right way and BAM you get it! Haha

[@Tiredsg]

@@caranewhart thanks!

nice video. I do suggest people use the release valve after use, but leave about 12-15lbs of pressure THEN open the drain valve (with that residual pressure). Lowering to near 0 (as you show) won't leave enough pressure to get the moisture out when you use the drain valve. Also, the drain valve really should be facing down (towards the ground) so gravity will help get the residual moisture out of the tank (facing-up is least optimal) - it may seem silly - but moisture really does collect in a compressor (especially in humid environments) - get as much moisture out after each use (end of day) greatly reduces chances the tank rusts inside (which can be dangerous under pressure) over years of use.

[@TheDajoca]

Great vid. But the pressure release is not for dumping the air after use. Use the drain valve under the tank to blow any moisture out and help stop your tank from rusting. Using the pressure release valve, doesn't drain the tank and can eventually cause the valve to not work correctly. Also, drain the tank with the drain valve facing down - at the lowest point, otherwise the water just stays inside.

[@Guapogiboy]

Thanks never used one of these before and this is just what I needed. Do you have a video about the accessories and hose for compressors?

[@mollywoodworth5272]

Thank you so so so much for this video. I got a nailer and air compressor for DIY and had no clue how to use them. I really appreciate this easy video and everything makes sense. Will start following you for more tips. You saved a girl.

[@aldosalas2722]

Thank you for the concise and very good explanation for BEGINNERS video. I also wasted hours watching Pro Old man telling me reviews but never explaining and just going to fast over the IMportant information as if they were talking to another pro. Thank you.

[@ekp-g205]

Great video. Thanks...You really explained everything needed, so I would not ruin it, break something or hurt myself.

[@alexj872]

This video saved my day! Short and very clear. Thanks a lot!

[@surv452]

excellent video for beginners like me concise and straight to the point

[@dinxpe6592]

WOW! Great video thanks! Under 5 mins and you answered all my q's. a model lookalike doing a demo that a man / butch lady cant do on power tools is unheard of in my hood - South Africa : ) Thank you so much.

[@caranewhart]

Thanks for the kind words!! 🙌 So glad you found it helpful. And yes haha I’m here to change the game 👩🏻‍🔧👊

[@dragonflytoo]

OMG! THANK YOU!!!! I've watched 7 videos before yours 😡😡🤬🤪🤪🤪! Women think and speak differently!!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

[@caranewhart]

Haha oh my gosh it’s like we totally do!! 🙈🙈🙈 let me know if you have more questions - so happy to help

[@marcoscastillo8757]

I had to watch the video twice the first time I was lost in your eyes! Great video

[@strykervalkyrion]

it's actually better to just release the pressure after use by opening the dump valve on the bottom as the air in the tank will just force and liquids out. After a day of heavy use you can usually see a ton of liquid shooting out when releasing the pressure.

[@caranewhart]

Interesting!! I’m going off my instructions trying to be safe, but getting the liquid out is definitely important!! Maybe it varies by compressor and how much pressure you have in it 💁🏻‍♀️

[@strykervalkyrion]

All compressors basically work the same and operate around the same pressure. Only difference is capacity and how fast the pump fills it up. If you're worried about following instructions, you can just run the compressor for about 30 seconds after emptying with the unit angled towards the dump valve and the dump valve open. This will force any liquids out. Personally, I wouldn't use the emergency relief valve as a dump valve since keeping your fingers on the pin with all the air coming out can get pretty icy and like the name implies it's really just for emergencies where the tank regulator fails and the pump doesn't automatically shut off (extremely rare) so that excess air is released and the tank doesn't explode.

[@TheJoogsie]

I have a battery nail gun. But im struggling to get the nails to go all the way into the timber. Im wondering if havibg a compresser set up would save me. As with the batter NG you seem to need to press real hard. Causing issues with my hands. Do you find with the right pressure you just line up and shoot? So to speak 😊

[@jlamb199]

OhhhHELLZ YA! ATTA GIRL!! While I have relied heavily on the middle-aged men of which you speak, and so appreciate them, it's so nice to see YOU here giving me that extra bit of confidence I need to use those tools in my toolbox. THANK YOU!

[@caranewhart]

Oh I mean I do too - they’ve literally taught me so much! And heck yes I’m here to help with that confidence boost! This makes me so happy 💪💖🥳

[@oscargarcia246]

Awesome, straight to the point.

[@Lifetouchal]

This is a really good video

[@cassidychambers5419]

Where can I see how your accent wall turned out? Because i need to do that somewhere in my home, it looks beautiful!

[@bolivarozoria1125]

Thanks you was very intuitive

[@julieweist1071]

This was so helpful thank you! I was scouring through all the videos you talked about in the beginning as well and this was much more to the point and helpful!

[@PammyRock]

Fantastic video! Thank you

[@angelasmith4785]

Great vid, to the point, thank you!

[@gaygorden8740]

You didn't explain how to set the red. +/- knob. Also, What is the normal tank pressure?

[@rachelneale7614]

How does it go spray painting?

[@MYnextDIYbikePROJECT]

Great beginner setup! :) Cheers!

[@davefink2326]

My girlfriend bought me this, she listed the same three reasons you list! You are right, it’s a great compressor for nail guns. Even though there’s a whole new batch of battery powered nail guns out there, they are heavier to use and expensive to buy or replace if they break down. I even use this Ryobi with my $100 framing nail gun on small remodel jobs. It drives shoots four or five 3-inch framing nails before refilling.

[@caranewhart]

Yes!! This! I love this little compressor!!

[@ZivaHadar]

So helpful!! Thank you!!! 🙌🏼🙏🏼

[@Luna-je3bw]

Can i use a paint gun on this?

[@Messi_con_Epstein]

What type of lube does it use?

[@asingleton8295]

He he! She said "on youtube with the middle aged OLD men" he he. Girl, may God get you there. You'll never look back.

[@dewtran]

thank you for this video, none of the videos explain how this works (as someone who's not familiar with power tools)

[@caranewhart]

It can totally get confusing! So glad you found this helpful! 💖🙌

[@crookedcity6617]

Very nice vid! Thank you ☺️

[@MrFelixthekat3759]

outstanding job thank you

[@pachucoloco6244]

Hi Do you use use a spray gun with this tool?

[@taztaz79]

I would say no.. Spray guns (if you mean big ones) use a lot of air and this compressor is not suitable for that.. You could use this compressor for filling tires, different nailguns and blowing a bit of air to clean stuff.. Saw a guy use an impact wrench to losen lugnuts on his car with this one.. It actually works... :) You might have to wait a while for it to charge in between though but the guy managed to take out 2 nuts before it started to charge and total 5 nuts before it lost to much pressure for the 6th one :) ..

[@taztaz79]

You could use it for paint brush though...

[@MikeFernando]

Great video, thanks a lot! :)

[@caravan647]

The best video

[@muhammadurrehman4221]

Thanks ..you are good.

[@SoCalRhetor]

You consider inflating tires "crazy?"

[@alexarroyo2834]

I like to use a little in line air dryer to further protect my tools, i also like to use that to empty my compressor instead of holding the valve open since its a big ol 21 gallon

[@zakaria.abedin]

Thank you very much for detail it was really helpful I just learn how to use a compressor within 3 minutes

[@MrMusickey]

I’m staring at mine but don’t dare to switch it on.

[@budsak7771]

Mine's still in the box lol

[@MrMusickey]

Do it. I finally summed up the courage yesterday. It didn’t explode and I’m alive so it’s all good

[@budsak7771]

@@MrMusickey just like anything else, it'll happen when it's time, no need to rush the experience 😂

[@k-q-2991]

when the pressure release valve goes off, I take a short run away from it every time. it always scares me because I forget about it between uses. lol

[@aravindm4584]

Good you are smart.

[@jackdaniel8793]

Thank you

[@easyrider4649]

Video was useless. Didn't explain the main part, how to adjust the tank pressure and output pressure to the nail gun.

[@tomnguyen1802]

Wasn’t sure if you was going to show us men, a how to video of the ryobi compressor or a how to make-up tutorial lol 😂

[@k-q-2991]

My guess is she can probably do both.

[@noodledragon]

How did it get so quiet? Lol

[@Tuliquitakati]

The Middle Aged old men comment sent meeee overrrrr lol I’m dead. This is why woman always get shit. I can’t go in the hardware store in peace . Give credit where it’s due. The men to learn. Imagine a man “ I went to the middle aged old woman you tubes for the authentic meatball recipe “ Say it with your chest and with an air compressor bigger then the palm of your hand if those panels are going to be an eyesore they’re so uneven. Imagine 1/16 of an in gap on one end and 3/16th of a gap on the other the other. Gonna check out how the old men are doing it. Becauseee lord the lines are giving entrance to a funnnn house

[@maniacalmonster2293]

I'm sorry what's going on here? Something about an air compressor? I didn't seem to notice

[@elrobbo6]

oh no! videos of middle aged men telling you how to use tools that they have probably been using their whole life. Yeah, id rather listen to some stay at home mom that buys tools and equipment based on if its "cute"

[@germcrazyshokoff3623]

I’m so sorry you had to spend time with the “middle-aged old men” in order to learn something new. What a bummer…

[@lakid9749]

Not a good explanation at all

[@tay2dripp481]

Do you have an onlyfans?

[@stephandevriesere3667]

"..And it's cute!", .............right. If i bought tools because they are "...cute", i wouldn't be able to use them to get my work done. My wife would be playing with them, blaming me that the work hasn't been finished yet 😁😄😁

It's a blessing to be old man because I'm also 70 years old I must be doing something right Because there's more man's dying in there 30s all the way up to 50 to 60 years You can't stay young mostly the world wants to stay young They don't want to get old But it's a blessing also to be old Me I still act like I'm 20 years old And before I stop my comet I want to say thank you God forgive me 70 years to live and hope I can live longer

[@ReeseRuiz3]

Im grateful to just see a woman do a tutorial. Shes the only one I’ve been able to understand. Guys don’t use the same wording or describe it the same. I get really intimidated. I get what she’s saying. So maybe lighten up and be grateful women are in a typically male space 😊
