Arrived October 28th 2019. Drove home from Wyoming where Rawlins was –16 for a low and drove in 13 degree temperatures from Cheyenne. Arrived in Omaha at 4:40 A.M. Home thermometer said 30 degrees so I went to bed. Woke up at noon and it was 40 degrees outside. Assembled the three above items in reasonable amount of time. Plugged in compressor and about had a fit when I heard a massive air leak. As a truck driver I hate this sound. Looked at bottom of tank and noticed what appeared to be a twist valve with a knurled knob. Gave it a twist and the FIT I was having disappeared. Back to DEFCON 5. Plugged in the compressor and let it run for two minutes. Plugged in hose and let the compressor run until it shut off.See video.... Mission accomplished.....

Nice brass fittings, threads are clean and work smoothly. Some fittings are pre-coated with a stiff red rubber-like compound, makes it harder to install them than teflon tape, but once installed, (either the pre-coated ones or the others, with teflon tape) I had no discernable leaks. I think the quality of the fittings, and of the attachments, is quite good.As some have said, the plastic box is nice, but after you install the fittings, most items no longer fit. That's OK with me, I put all the gadgets and leftover fittings into another small box without dividers, and used the plastic box to sort out a bunch of loose nuts, bolts, & whatnot. I like it.Only one real DISLIKE - the pencil pressure gage (like most such gauges) is WICKED inaccuate. On my high-end AutoMeter gauge, all four tires on one vehicle were perfect at 36 PSI - the pencil gauge in this kit read right on 25 PSI. Worthiless, you'd think? Except that it was, at least, consistent. I'll keep it in that vehicle, knowing that I need to inflate to 25 PSi (on THAT gauge). Better than nothing, when my good gauge is in another car.

Just as I had ordered. It was just what I needed.

Used this kit to put fittings on a 25ft hose, and also assembled fittings to the tire inflation wand, and hand trigger. I used two wraps of teflon tape (I already had in my tool box) on each connection. All connections tightened the first time with no leaks up to 150 psi. The tire pressure gauge included reads 10 to 15 lbs low, so that was a disappointment, but otherwise the kit seems good. For the price it is a good value. As expected, brass fittings go together with no leaks. All fittings and threads appear to be good quality. The hand trigger attachment is solid and functions properly. Looking forward to getting many years of use out of these tools.

Good

I was pretty frustrated using my new compressor to clean up an electric mower and the blower tool kept flying off the air hose connection. well... operator error (IATA), I didn't beware the PSI specification of the set and was using 135 PSI and now I have been educated a little bit. I will set the compressor at 90 next time! I will also seek connectors rated for higher PSI.

Better then excepted
