This is an excellent video!! I bought a nail gun with compressor awhile back with no clue on how to use it. I thought I needed it to do work at one of my rentals. Anyways, I've been searching for a video such as yours that provides details on the compressor. You're the only one I've found that gives such a great tutorial. Thank you!!

[@TheDIYCabinGuy]

Glad to hear that 😀

[@octaviuswilliams9492]

This video answered all my questions about my new Matabo nailer thank you very much

[@TheDIYCabinGuy]

Glad I could help!

[@jossmtwo2422]

I’m so impressed how nice work with the framing nailer it’s so powerful 😮

[@TheDIYCabinGuy]

Definitely a step up from a finish nailer!

[@abbasshahriari9237]

Awesome video bro

Appreciate it

@@TheDIYCabinGuy seriously very informative and clear to understand this crash course was exactly what I needed

Who knows that is the size hose and length? Can it work on a 3/8" diameter x 100' long hose on a roofing nail gun? Thank you. I'd be excited as you were also.

[@TheDIYCabinGuy]

The two coupling sockets on the compressor are 1/4”. I wonder if you could add some adaptor. The metabo brand air hose are 1/4” and come in 30’, 50’ and 100’ lengths I believe.

[@LaZerMouse]

@@TheDIYCabinGuy I am going to try the 1/4” ID with 1/4” fittings and the hose is 100’ long.

[@jstorm7757]

How about giving the actual size for the air attachments? Seems not every one will fit the Metabo

[@TheDIYCabinGuy]

I believe it was 1/4 “ but to be verified in store, it’s listed on the product.

[@RobertDiVito]

What do you charge the Metabo too? 200psi? Does it have an auto shut off/auto start? The nailer only needs about 75psi so charging to 200psi may be unnecessary. What do you do?

[@TheDIYCabinGuy]

Automatically charges to 200, it needs to be that high so that it doesn’t have to run constantly every time you fire a nail

[@zachmgreen]

how's it been holding up so far? nice review, thanks

[@TheDIYCabinGuy]

Very well, I have used the framing nailer almost every week end in the past year building my cabin. It works great, hasn’t jammed.

[@ericzavala7447]

Is the air compressor just meant for nailing or does it work for other thing for example car detailing. Would it work with an air gun?

[@TheDIYCabinGuy]

Not sure, sounds like you’d need a large capacity for these applications

[@jerbus7956]

The main thing to look for is the CFM/LPM rating on the tool that you’re trying to run. This compressor is rated for 4.0 CFM at 90 PSI, so as long as the tool you’re hooking up is less than that then you’ll be fine

[@paulb6367]

been using Hitachi nailers and staplers for over 30 years. NR83 is the best gun made, the NR90 in this video has performed well over the last 4 years for us as well. Hitachi sent us one of these pancake compressors to test a couple years ago. It's a pile of trash! extremely LOUD, it runs very hot, the cycle is very long and only lasted about 6 months before it died. nowhere near as good as our Rolaire compressors that last 3-5 years

[@TheDIYCabinGuy]

Good to know! Mine is still going strong after one year, it hope it lasts much longer!

[@bransonsbleakney]

Rolaire air is 5x the price for 250 Canadian its a decent compressor

[@AlexKidmann]

Pas mal le gros est bien fat ! j'utilisait les mêmes pour faire mes tiny house en Bretagne !

[@markchilluffo9638]

👍👍

[@ZeroColdx911]

Does it work on rapid fire mode?

[@TheDIYCabinGuy]

Yep, used that a lot when sheathing the cabin roof

[@abcdefghi2175]

VERY GOOD JOB!!!!!!

[@TheDIYCabinGuy]

Thanks !

[@paullandreville5394]

Nice setup on tools. Keep them locked up. Stealing tools from building sites is big business.

[@TheDIYCabinGuy]

Yeah that’s why I walk all of them back to my garage every time I’m done. I’ve been tempted to just leave them at the Cabin but I would hate for them to disappear. Soon I should have a door I can lock so maybe I’ll leave a few items there.

[@easyrider4649]

Useless video, didnt bother to show how set the air pressure for the tank and air gun
