Amazon recomended buying this because others bought it. It arrived late, I had purchased it localy because I needed it, and I returned it for a credit.
Wish I bought just the stuff I needed at Home Depot. Would have saved some money. Quality was not a problem though I have no use for the tire pressure guage.
This is an ok set of compressor accessories. For the money, you would be better off buying individual pieces that have some weight to them. The quality is only average. I will be replacing almost everything with better quality components. The pressure gauge is a joke and is just an example as to what the other pieces are like. Save your money and go down to your local tool supply and get quality stuff.
It comes with a rubber tip, metal tip and pin inflator for balls. This is a good place to start your air accessory collection, although I would modify it a little to make it more useful. If you have more than one air tool to setup, you will need additional male M-style coupler plugs (Tool Crib #727BK @$1.00). The two female couplers and female coupler plugs will complete two 3/8" air hoses.The blow gun is a quality, versatile unit. You will also need a roll of teflon plumbers tape to seal all the threads. The plastic tire pressure gauge is functional, but nothing special.
I could have done without the tire gauge in exchange for a few more quality parts (male coupler plugs and screw type band hose clamps). I bought it to complement my Porter Cable 3hp compressor, which is equipped with M-style quick connects.It has two accessories that require a male M-style coupler plugs, (the blow gun and tire chuck), but only three of this style coupler plug. The valve is easily operated and it does not leak.With the exception of the plastic tire gauge, all the parts are high quality and useful. The brass hose repair barbs are nice, but there are no hose clamps provided if you have to use them. I would be hesitant to put them under pressure without a band clamp holding them in place. If the assortment had been a little more complete, this would rate five stars.
Now you know what else you need to finish outfitting your compressor.
This is a great collection of connectors and accessories. If you buying a compressor -- get this product also. It has just about everything you need to make fast connections, fill tires, etc.
