Is this compressor enough to run a brad nailer at the end of 25 feet of 3/8" air hose? How's about 50 feet?

25 ft, Yes! 50 ft, Don't Know! Depends on how long your Brads are & what wood is, I guess. Robby.

The length of the hose expands the effective size of the tank so it doesn't matter. This is a great compressor and easy to pack around.

50' would be pushing it. It would be better to use a 50' extension cord. The compressor is incredibly light.

Let me start by saying it is what it is, its a 1 gallon compressor. I have a Dewalt 15 gauge, 25 ft 3/8" hose, I can typically shoot about 6-8 nails before it kicks on. If your brad nailer is 18 or 20 gauge I think you'll be fine with 10 - 20. I don't use compressors often enough to even guess at 50 feet, but 25 works well enough for me. Good luck!

I have been using a Porter-Cable C1010 portable air compressor withthis NuMax nailer. The compressor works fine so far. It is available for $100 on Amazon.com, a price that is even cheaper than what I paid a few years ago.

Lisa, a two or 3 gallon pancake compressor will suit this gun fine. I'm currently using a 27 gallon,(my only compressor I own) and it's complete overkill. This gun doesn't use much air at all. Good like with your purchase David

I'm using this air compressor "Makita MAC2400 Big Bore 2.5 HP Air Compressor" for Nail gun. The Nail gun works perfectly.

I have not tried but I think the tool has the power to do it granted you stick with a 150 PSI compressor at least. It might boil down to the brad nail it self if it holds up when met with a harder surface than wood. Why not try liquid nails instead(glue) for your job? Hope that helps.

Ability: Skilled Homeowner. I have my compressor setpoint at 120 off / 100 on. I have nailed standard pine trim into pine door jams using 2 1/2" angled finish nails at as low as 80 psi on my tank regulator, including 100 ft of 3/8 hose without a problem. I suppose it also depends on the wood type you are using. As for the nailer, I have not had a single problem with it. It's lightweight, easy to handle, and super smooth action. Wishing I would have bought one long ago . . .

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.

The length of the hose that connects the reel to the compressor is approx. 3 feet. and the length of the hose contained in the reel is approx. 50 feet. hope this is helpful

Yes. This compressor will run any air tool you would like. I run impacts, cutoff tools, sand blasters, air saws, die grinders, nail guns and all sorts of things off of it. It just need to run the motor more to keep filled since it's smaller. Not a huge deal just let it cool down periodically.

It will operate between 80 and 120 psi, when it gets down to about 90 I will turn the compressor on and let it pump up to 120. It seems to drive the nail in better.

I can't answer this question because my compressor is 8.1 @40 and 6.3 @ 90. I can say it woked well at this output. It is designed for Low Volume at Low Pressure so I would go to the sights and check out the specs. http://www.californiaairtools.com/spray-guns/sp-33000/

250 PSI 50 ft. x 3/8 in. rubber air/water hose, Yes it 1/4 so you might have to get wide adaptor if needed?

Any 150 psi like harbor freight 3 gal and up . As low as 50.00. Porter Campbell another example. Good framing gun. Lightweight, and strong.My old. Nailer came with the compressor set by Porter Campbell but finally quit and became unsafe to use. Love the new one.

I don't know what volume of air you require, this doesn't put out very much but it will build to a pressure of about 130lbs. The compressor is designed to operate small finishing nailers and would also work great for airbrushing. The best thing about this compressor is it's quiet operation. It's an excellent small compressor. Thank you. Jerry

Hello, I use my nailer with a portable oil lube compressor. It is an electric 1 HP 3Gallon portable unit that can produce max 135psi. It is rated as 3.7 scfm of pressure @ 40 psi and 2.4 scfm @90 psi. That's plenty of pressure to do the job. We set the compressor at about 80 psi setting and it works fine.

As long as one end is a 3/8 and the other end fits your compressor any hose should do. Its not a expensive airbrush so no need to go out with an expensive hose.

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
