    Pneumatic Fastening for Fast, Accurate Detail Work
    Detail work comes in many shapes and sizes and requires you to use different types of materials. Choosing the right tool for each job is an essential part of making certain your finished products look their best. That's why this kit sets you up with three distinct pneumatic fastening tools.

    Each of these well-balanced tools is designed to sit neatly in your hand, letting you maintain control and precision. And each offers a wide range of simple, intuitive features, from no-mar tips that protect your work surface to tool-free adjustable exhaust systems that direct air away from your face to keep you comfortable while you work.

    Three Dependable Tools for Handling Tough Jobs
    The included 16-Gauge Straight Finish Nailer offers a convenient, adjustable depth guide and a quick-release nose for fast jam clearing. It is designed for handling nails 1 to 2-1/2 inches long, making it a great pick for moldings and door and window casing applications. The nailer provides 300 in./lbs. of driving power, a magazine capacity of 100 nails, and weighs in at four pounds.

    Ideal for everything from staircases to cabinetry applications, the included 18-Gauge Brad Nailer makes use of the adjustable depth guide to set nails to desired depths quickly and conveniently. Behind its fast, reliable performance is the ability to deliver 145 in./lbs. of driving power. This nailer handles 18-gauge brads from 5/8 to 2 inches and weighs just 2.7 pounds.

    Also included in the kit is the 18-Gauge Narrow Crown Finish Stapler, because whether you're working with cabinetry, floor underlayment, or upholstering furniture, a stapler is the right tool for the job. This stapler utilizes 135 in./lbs. of drive power to secure 7/32-inch narrow crown staples, features a bottom-load magazine for fast loading and easy jam clearing, and weighs 2.6 pounds.

    All three of these tools offer a magazine capacity of 100 fasteners, so you don't constantly have to stop and reload, and each one is backed by a manufacturer's 7 year limited warranty.

    Durable Six-Gallon Oil-Free Compressor
    Built to keep your tools running smoothly and reliably, the 2.0 HP (Peak) Compressor delivers 2.8 CFM at 90 PSI with a maximum operating pressure of 150 PSI for improved tool performance. This compressor's oil-free pump design requires less maintenance than traditional models, and its large, six-gallon reserve tank includes a ball-type drain valve for easy drainage at the end of each day. It also employs an impact-resistant composite shroud to protect important gauges from job-site damage.

    Heavy-Duty Motor Operates Smoothly and Quietly
    The compressor's 2.0 HP (Peak), 1.5 HP running motor features easy startup and an expert design that draws 12 Amps without tripping your circuit breakers, so work can be done hassle-free. And the compressor's operation acoustics run at a quiet 72 dBA, making it ideal for use in smaller or more populated areas. The compressor is backed by a 1 year warranty.

    Note to customers: When operating the compressor be sure the draincock is closed and the quick disconnect is not stuck.  Either issue will prevent the compressor from working properly.
