Picked up a Craftsman 15 Gal. Air compressor tank. Along with an Impact wrench and a air ratchet. That's for the car. Also picked up a Brad Nailer for the house stuff and a air sprayer gun.(must have) So I am thinking of getting a Framing Nailer Porter & Cable probably off E-bay. That will be probably after Christmas. What else do I need.

I don't have a hose or reel yet that's on the list!

Anybody local to me that can take a look at it and say you need these things to outfit it correctly? Or a website to read up?

Thanks!

 

You MUST HAVE a wheel grinder!!!!

 

If you plan to use the air gun to spray paint, you must have a filter and water seperator. The quality of the air gun will determine how well it removes nuts and bolts. Cheap ones will not remove lug nuts unless you break them by hand first. I need to get a better air gun myself.

 

Air chisel! They are perfect for taking off destroyed bolts

 

Good call. Also a die grinder and how about an air chuck?
Survey SAYS!
Truth be told I use air tools very little, actually never so far on my new 07. I use a 4way lug wrench VERY gently and I havent done much work at all, any really, other then remove the wheels for cleaning and caliper paint. But all other vehicles get the snap on impact and air ratchet. With the occasional air chisel mixed in or die grinder for removing things.
The framing gun, 2.5" trim nailer, stapler and pin gun get the most use. Die grinder with cuttoff disks my be a tie.

Thing is woudl the 2" finish nailer nail into studs? I plan on framing out my basement eventually. A finish nailer would be used for what that a brad nailer can't do?

I have a brad nailer which is a finishing nailer. 90 degree die grinder with some pads is on the list.

 

Personally, I'd get a cut-off wheel before getting a die grinder. I was faced with this dilemma when I could buy only one at a swap meet I went to and chose the cut-off wheel since it can also be used as a grinder in most cases.

A 2.5" finish nailer is what I use. I was a trim carpenter for years. I used Porter Cable. It held up well and is light.
Try to find a used Framing gun. The PC's we used were NOT as good as the yellow one(forget the brand but pricy) I have. Upkeep?? consists of a few drops of oil a day for all my air guns.
