My Cheap Nailer and Compressor [video 463]

It's been 6 months since I bought my compressor and nailer, and in this video I talk about why I bought what I did. Enjoy!

For clarity, I'm talking about the 8-litre Hyundai HY5508 240v compressor - I have no direct experience of the larger units.

And, ps: one thing I love about this channel is that although you have high-end stuff, you recognise both that the budget stuff has its place (and you keep us away from the real rubbish) and that this is particularly important for us hobby guys who might desire the better tools but often can’t justify them. Thank you- it’s really useful.

Hi Peter

Just a note, you should apply about 3 drops of fine oil into the air inlet at the rear of the nailer every time you use it, this lubricants the nailer. I’ve been using them for nearly 50 years and never had any problems with nail or staple guns.
Thanks for another informative video👍

Great vid bud! Huge fan of air tools since I'm a total cheapskate 🤣. Totally missed Keith's vid in all the recent kerfuffle. Good find! 👍🛠️😁

Your arm movements in the beginning were like Jeff Goldblum. This is a positive in my book. Great vid

I've just bought one (SILVERLINE 868544) to use with my small SEALEY 6ltr compressor (SAC0610E). Your own experience using one is good to know about. Thank you, Peter.

P. S. Had a go with it this morning (Sat 11.11.23) with c.3/4" brads (60 psi) and was very happy with the result. Not bad at all @ £29.99 with free P&P.

Was so relieved when you took the plastic off the guage!

Just ordering my stuff now. You Sir are a top chap. No waffle. just facts.

Hi Peter, one other thing for the newbie compressor owners is how dangerous blowing compressed air is directly on to bare skin, as that air can carry lots of bacteria from the condensate that forms in the storage tank . As heat generated in the process of compressing the air help this bacteria to thrive. Also the danger of air embolisms.
Please keep the fantastic vlogs coming my friend.

I have an electric nail gun, but with a fence to put up, for the life of me I couldn’t find it. As I have a 25L compressor, I had a quick nose about, and found a Draper Air nail gun for £40/£50. With Saturday already here I had limited options so I bought it. I set it up, and put 30mm nails in it. We were replacing our feather edge fence, and as it was already cut to 6’, off we went. My wife was passing me the boards, and using a self made marker I pinned the boards on.
I was so impressed with the set up, the tank lasted ages before it cut back in, and the Draper Nailer was a star performer. Normally I’m a tool snob, my kit is usually DeWalt, my hand tools are Klein, Knipex, Wera etc, but I was so impressed with it.
For DIY these tools are fantastic, I can’t recommend the cheaper unit enough.

Brill, exactly what I needed. Considering purchasing a compressor with tools for a while but have no experience what so ever.
Thank you, keen to more! Chris.

I love your videos but they cost me a bloody fortune. Every time you do something like this it tips me over the edge of something I have been thinking about doing for a while. The worst are definitely your gifts for makers videos though. I watch them and then suddenly need all these new tools I didn't even know existed. I am now off to buy a compressor and nailer! Keep up the great work!

[gilestennick]

Thank you so much, I had also settled on this pairing and am just agonising over whether to take the plunge! Thanks to your video Hyundai and Silverline will be profiting again!

[davidsneddon]

Peter I think this is real Karma, every time I reach a new stage in my woodworking journey you are there or thereabouts in video delivery to offer me the solution to my continuing dichotomy, brilliant man ! I have been deliberating again on this very topic as I was on plunge saws when you give me the ready made solution, you are definitely a mind reader :). Thanks for this again Peter and as always your delivery and execution is spot on, first class man.

If you are new to compressors "Wow, that's LOUD!" If you have had them before it's virtualy silent!

Cheers for the review.

[huskyneusify]

A short, yet brief video, explaining everything there is to know. Well done Peter 👍👍

[zeemalota]

Thanks for the video, timing is fantastic! I've been looking for a compressor and nailer, and your information has ensured that I don't buy the wrong size. Cheers!

[barryspiers]

Just ordered the same set up, thanks Peter.

[charminglad]

I have a small compressor but it has 2 gauges on it, one the tank pressure and two the tool pressure allowance gauge..TY for your video

[PauloFerrariMKII]

The Brad nailer you featured here is really a DIY tool. If used day in, day out, it wouldn't last very long at all. Pneumatic tools like OMER are used professionally & are priced accordingly. In clear terms, you pay for what you get. In my experience, buying a cheaper tool is false economy as you would probably replace the tool 3 or 4 times before you would have to replace a better tool.

[whitewittock]

Just got a nailer to go with this hope it works. I tried to use an air hammer, you get literally one second of hammering before the pressure drops off and you have to wait half a minute for it to repressurise.
