The only thing that was a neg, so lack of directions for the tools. We managed and now it all makes sense. The tools work great on my air pressure tank. There are general directions, but I wish they were more detail, re: what they are for and how to put it together.
The short, stubby one worked OK. The release so that air flows is too hard to depress so that when seated on the valve it does not deliver air. If the long inflator worked OK, I'd give it a thumbs up, but as it is suggest you look elsewhere for a better set of accessories. There has to be a better value out there. The longer tire inflation part does not work correctly. Pressure gauge is flimsy and has a very cheap feel to it.
It comes with the basics and a few extras that I'll probably never use. I bought this kit when I got my first compressor. All in all a great value, because buying each item separately would have cost several times the cost of the kit.
The rest of the male connectors you can use for the various tools. You get all the accessories you would need to compliment a newly purchased air compressor (aside from the hose of course) as well as all of the fittings you need to attach them. Considering a combination pressure gauge + tire inflator tool runs around $40, this kit is an excellent deal to make your new compressor purchase useful. Your compressor should already have a female connector on it, so you should only need one female connector for the business end of the hose anyway. There are essentially 4 tools in this kit. After using the male connectors for all the included tools and a hose, I have one male left that has female threading. The pressure gauge is one of those that you would see in a coffee tin at the register in Pep Boys going for 79 cents.
It keeps all of the tools nicely organized in a clear plastic case that resembles something you'd keep fishing lures in.In all, the tools are of acceptable quality with exception of the pressure gauge. It's made from chrome plastic and I have doubts about it's accuracy, but at least it looks like it's working.So, the only way I could see to improve this at the current price is to include another female locking hose connector. With the air gun, you can attach any of the included nozzles such as an air pin for filling basketballs or footballs or 2 different other nozzles for various applications. For the price, I think it's absolutely worth it. They even give you the plumber's tape for sealing the threads. One of the nozzles has a rubber end on it.In addition to the tools, you get a bunch of male connectors (2 with female threading and 4 with male threading) and one female locking connector.
I wish I had another female too, but what're you gonna do. Otherwise, I think it's an excellent value and I'm very pleased -- even with the crappy pressure gauge. I am very pleased with this kit. The air gun, 2 tire inflators and a pressure gauge. There are a few other connectors as well that I'm not sure what they do.The entire package is completed by the case that you get.
This kit is a solid starter kit, with the right amount of fittings to get you started and inflate just about anything.
