does it run constantly? I fired it up and it would reach pressure then let out some air and cycle again. I have not tried to run any tools yet.

seems to be a problem with some of these units. mine will do that every once an awhile right now it is not doing that . I think it has something to do with moisture in the unit and temperature

I only use it for tires. I don't remember it turning off, but I do remember having to keep it from walking away. So, I don't have a concrete answer, but it wouldn't be a stretch to think it would cycle.

Was there duct tape on the box? sounds like u either got the same one i sent back or they must have gotten a big run of faulty ones because it is supposed to stop running at 150 psi and that is the same thing the one i ordered was doing.

It is a great compressor but it has a 50% duty cycle my guess is that 5 to 7 CFM continuous at 40 PSI would make it run continuously or more than the 50% duty cycle. It is fine for low volume guns like air brushes and you might be able to use it with an LVLP sprayer if you only sprayed intermittently.

i can add that it doesn't have full power for me. I think it is due to being under-air powered. I have it running through 50ft of standard air line, but the compressor only generates 120psi. I haven't had time to work it out yet, but beware if you don't have a large and capable compressor, you may not get the full rating force rating of the impact wrench. also take this with a grain of salt, as I am not an expert and haven't resolved the issue. I trust Craftsman in general. the fit and finish of the gun is nice.

All I can add is that I used my compressor frequently and have not experienced that problem. Contact the manufacturer.

I believe it would cycle often with an impact wrench. The reason is the constant amount of psi needed to operate the wrench.

I couldn't even get mine to start but I hope it was because I didn't have the required flow and pressure. I'll find out in the spring when I go back and try again. So far I'm not really impressed. Don't hesitate if it doesn't return go for a return

My little compressor doesn't go above 30 psi and that wasn't quite strong enough for my purposes. It worked, but took a really long time. I bought a larger air compressor, but couldn't connect it to the airbrush. I guess the air requirements really depend upon what you are using it for. Hope this helps.

i have been using mine for over a year now and it runs continuously. i have't had any problems at all. it works great.

It's all about CFM (cubic feet a minute) not pressure, this spray gun requires quite a lot of CFM and if your compressor cannot supply enough of it than you will have to wait while the compressor can fill your very small tank

I've never had a problem with it. Squeeze the handle and it sprays every time. Perhaps you've inadvertently disconnected it or clogged the nozzle. It's pretty simple mechanically, so you can take it apart, inspect, and reassemble it in a few minutes.

I actually used my compressor. I turned the pressure way down but you really have to be careful if you use a compressor. Just blow it up really slow whatever you use.

It has a squeeze trigger that is very easy to use.It doesn't take a lot of pressure to keep it running.Being light in weight, If you can hold it you'll have enough strength to keep it going.

Is yours leaking any fluids by chance? Mine started to shoot just puffs of air 90% of the time and I noticed that it had oil / grease leaking from the black plastic bit just above where the connection is on the gun. Only used it 2x, no jams, never used higher than 100 psi etc. In the process of sending it back and getting a porter-cable.

When I use mine, I let it come up to pressure and it stops itself somewhat over 120psi at the tank. I have the output side of the regulator set to about 50 psi for filling tires on vehicles. Part way through filling up a tire the compressor will turn on again to bring the tank up to pressure again. If you are expecting the compressor to turn off at what you have set the regulator to, that is now how it works. The compressor will always fill the tank with its "normal" operating pressure and the regulator outputs the selected pressure.

Yes it overheats i dont even use it anymore use my large compressor.aprox 10 minutes and it shuts down.hope this helps and good luck

I had mine blown up for about 5 weeks at one point. Seems there is some amount of stretch that will happen as it is first used. Meaning I did re-inflate it a couple of times early on, but at some point it appeared to stabilize and no longer require more air. Thats all I know, YMMV
