Can it be used to power an air tool like a nailer or riveter (assuming you give it time to catch up between uses)

I used mine for a nailer to nail down my hardwood floors. really good compressor for that - also use it to top up my car tyres on occasion!

Small tool only, like a brad nailer. You should be able to look up the owner manual and compare volume & pressure outputs with the requirements of the tool(s) you have or are looking at getting. In my experience, any thing bigger than a brad nailer and you'll be waiting 2-3 min between nails, &/or not have enough power to drive a nail into anything harder than pine.

Yes, but it would be slow as it takes time to catch up. If you are not in to big of a hurry, it will work. Hope this is useful.

I'm not sure i haven't used it for anything more than tires. So far i am not impressed i could only get about 5 lbs of air in my tire before the pressure went down to the point i had to wait for the pressure to build up again.

I have a CH FP2048 Air compressor and would not recommend it for a nailer or riveter since ACFM requirements do not match capability of air compressor. Check air requirements on internet of items you want to operate and compare with available compressors. Having to little air just wont cut it.

This tool is not for nails. It works like the air wrench they use to remove the lug nuts on your wheels. They are called impact guns because they have a small hammer inside that impact the shaft to loosen the nuts. You are looking for a nail gun. Most of those require an air compressor to provide power.

I purchased this nailer to install bamboo hardware flooring. Never did hardwood floor but it worked well and I was pleased with the performacne of the tool. The angle function is really just a couple of 1/2 nylon shims that attached to the head not really a mechanical adjustment. So if you need precise nail angles, this may not be the tool to use. The nailer function worked well but not use to using a air nailer you need to lift the head high enough for the safety to reset. By the way if you buy this gun get a range of nails, cuz when I set my floor I used a nail that really was longer then I needed. I hope I answered your question.

It should run a framing nailer. It has 2 ports but run one gun with it and it has decent recovery time. I use it for blowing sanders out and nailing hardwood floor patch areas mainly. I have used it for nailing large rooms as well .

This is a great air compressor for carrying around and will run 2 trim nail guns @ a time or a flooring nailer, but you won't be able to run any kind of larger air tools than that (ratchets, grinders, impact guns, etc.).Probably not enough air volume for even a small paint sprayer to run for more than just a very short time.

Yes. I used it to power an air pump that normally plugs into a cigarette lighter.

You absolutely can, but beware, this is the worst DeWalt Product ever made. It does lack power, for say driving finish nails, but for a tire, you're good.

it is powered through an air compressor which needs to plugged into an electrical outlet. So you will need an air compressor with hose to attach to the nail gun . . . I read a few reviews and found this information.

Pneumatic indicates powered by air. So yes this is an air powered tool. And it works well for the price.

Yes it has plenty of power for a floor nailer we used it for a roof nailer and it was fine.

Yes, the cable should be fine to run your air compressor. Plus it has a fuse to protect it from being overloaded.

Sorry. I never checked. However, based on the battery power, I doubt it. I am a "lady" and have found multiple uses for this tool; but I never intended on any heavy-duty use.

Hi You will need an air compressor; this type has more power than electric.

2 gallon compressors are not meant to run air tools. You might be able to take a lug nut or two off. Then wait for it to build up pressure but you might as well use hand tools if your going to do that

I don't believe that this compressor can drive air tools of that type. The only air tools that I've used with this unit is smaller paint spraying guns, inflating tires and multiple sizes of air nail guns. That's a good question and I would suggest going to the Bositich web site and sending that question to the Customer Service / Tech Help via the Contacts link. This is a really good compressor, it's fast, designed very well and it's not as loud as prior units that I use to own.

I do not believe so. Units like this are designed to provide air for applications like air nailers, that do not require a large volume of air in a short period of time. I believe you should shop for a unit that is designed to handle the volume of air you require. I have seen people try to use units like this one for high air volume demand applications, and it either does not work or they work the little unit to death.

Yes. The compressor takes the standard hose adapters for pneumatic tools, spray guns, tire inflators etc. Most nailers do not consume that much air anyway.
