Questions and Answers for DEWALT 18-Gauge Brad Nailer and 6 Gal. Heavy Duty Pancake Electric Air Compressor Combo Kit (1-Tool)

A:  This compressor would be good for any finish nailers

A:  Everything it handles to 150 psi the larger ones don’t have to regenerate as often as this would

A:  Most pneumatic tools require between 70-120 psi to operate. The compressor will provide up to 165 psi. Please check the psi specifications on your tool before use.

A:  I run half-inch impact paint sprayer air drill air chisel etc.

A:  OH MY GOD YES

A:  The flow rate on this compressor is 2.6 CFM @ 90 psi. The DeWALT DW45RN framing nailer requires 3.7 CFM @ 80 psi.

A:  Yes I believe so. I’m not sure exactly what u mean by framing. Perhaps framing out a house in which case I would still say yes. We used ours for installing trim and crown molding and I built a table with it.

A:  I use it with my framing nailer all the time! Pressure is good and constant however I do stop work when it is running just a minute for it to recover. Haven't had any issues in the two years I have had it in service on my jobsite!

A:  Yep as long as you just run 1 gun might run a little more then a 10 gal but enough pressure for roofing nail gun

A:  I am sure it would work fine if your not in a big hurry trying to nail to fast would lower the pressure and you would have to wait a wile for pressure to build back up

A:  I think the compressor is about 2.5-2.6 SCFM. Some of those high speed nailers say 4.6 SCFM or something like that to fully use the nailers capabilities and the compressor will NOT handle one of those. I'm a slow speed nailer and with a single nail gun connected to one of the two ports works fine for my needs.

A:  The compressor is fine for this work the rubber hose is too short for only close work you need a 75 to 100 foot hose keep the compressor on the ground

A:  no

A:  Our DEWALT pneumatic tools require between 70-120 psi. This compressor will work with all DEWALT framing nailers.

A:  Yes it goes to 150 psi

A:  yes in small duties

A:  An airless is better

A:  18 gauge 1” through 2” finishing nails

A:  As far as I know, any brand will work...

A:  I have used both DeWALT and Bostitch brads in my gun.

A:  Any brand will work as long as the nails are 18-gauge nails. I use both Dewalt and porter cable.

A:  Any 18G brad nails will work. I use Porter and Cable.

A:  You can use all pneumatic tools and inflate tires with a compressor as well.

A:  Can you be more specific with the question

A:  Hello I guess you are asking if it is a 1/2 horsepower unit. The Portable Compressor unit is described in Tank Gallons and air SCFM @ 90 etc. ( it's what the pneumatic nailer you would be using would be looking for to operate correctly) and the Maximum pressure as are all this style. This is the unit I bought because of its light weight and low noise. 41 pounds 165 max pressure and 6 gallon tank. If you were to buy a home large compressor they have HP ranges but are not portable.

A:  Yup its ranging until filled

A:  Some needle bouncing as compressor is filling is normal, I believe. As long as they are stable when the compressor stops running, it should be fine. I have seen this on almost every compressor I have used. If they are are bouncing so much that you can't really tell if compressor is functioning properly, then there is a problem.

A:  Please contact DEWALT at 1-800-433-9258 for further assistance.

A:  The compressor and hose will work with a roofing nailer but the question is how many nails do you want to drive a minute. If I was a roofer I would not buy this unit. I would get a bigger compressor or a battery powered gun with lots of batteries. But if I was roofing my own house it may be ok.

A:  Yes.

A:  Yes, it has the capacity to run heavier roofing guns as well as lighter flooring guns.

A:  Yup no problem

A:  Most pneumatic tools require between 70-120 psi. The DWFP55126 has a max psi of 165. Please check with nail gun manufacture for compressor specifications.
