Oh my goodness, I'm so glad I found this before I tried out my new air-compressor. I've never used one before and I'm a bit scared of it. The instructions with the brand I bought had nothing in them like what you have in your video - even attaching the col to the unit and air-tool wasn't in it. I'd have been running on intuition if I'd used it. I had no idea that it should be run for 30 minutes prior to using. Thank you. I'm female and 66 years old, and determined to learn to use these things.

it's cute!" Omg I love it. I'm also doing an accent wall and needed a nail gun. Had no clue what I was buying at first but I got everything I needed. Now I need to know how to use it without anything blowing up in my face lol. Thank you your video was helpful.

nice video. I do suggest people use the release valve after use, but leave about 12-15lbs of pressure THEN open the drain valve (with that residual pressure). Lowering to near 0 (as you show) won't leave enough pressure to get the moisture out when you use the drain valve. Also, the drain valve really should be facing down (towards the ground) so gravity will help get the residual moisture out of the tank (facing-up is least optimal) - it may seem silly - but moisture really does collect in a compressor (especially in humid environments) - get as much moisture out after each use (end of day) greatly reduces chances the tank rusts inside (which can be dangerous under pressure) over years of use.

I have that rug also thanks for the tutorial, because I've used the nail gun a million times but i never actually started up the compressor and got it set-up myself. You rock.

I’m so glad I found your video! Your tool Torial explanation is exactly what I needed, I watched so many videos before this and weren’t cutting it for me!! Thanks for helping!

[ekp-g]

Great video. Thanks...You really explained everything needed, so I would not ruin it, break something or hurt myself.

[dinxpe]

WOW! Great video thanks! Under 5 mins and you answered all my q's.
a model lookalike doing a demo that a man / butch lady cant do on power tools is unheard of in my hood - South Africa : )
Thank you so much.

Great vid.
But the pressure release is not for dumping the air after use.
Use the drain valve under the tank to blow any moisture out and help stop your tank from rusting.
Using the pressure release valve, doesn't drain the tank and can eventually cause the valve to not work correctly.
Also, drain the tank with the drain valve facing down - at the lowest point, otherwise the water just stays inside.

This video saved my day! Short and very clear. Thanks a lot!

[mollywoodworth]

Thank you so so so much for this video. I got a nailer and air compressor for DIY and had no clue how to use them. I really appreciate this easy video and everything makes sense. Will start following you for more tips. You saved a girl. <3

hi, "middle-aged old guy here" and just bought a compressor. Thanks for this tutorial! Back to my warm milk and afghan now. Where's my walker?

[surv]

excellent video

for beginners like me concise and straight to the point

[dragonflytoo]

OMG! THANK YOU!!!!

I've watched 7 videos before yours 😡😡🤬🤪🤪🤪!

Women think and speak differently!!!!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

[jlamb]

OhhhHELLZ YA! ATTA GIRL!! While I have relied heavily on the middle-aged men of which you speak, and so appreciate them, it's so nice to see YOU here giving me that extra bit of confidence I need to use those tools in my toolbox. THANK YOU!

[davefink]

My girlfriend bought me this, she listed the same three reasons you list!

You are right, it’s a great compressor for nail guns. Even though there’s a whole new batch of battery powered nail guns out there, they are heavier to use and expensive to buy or replace if they break down. I even use this Ryobi with my $100 framing nail gun on small remodel jobs. It drives shoots four or five 3-inch framing nails before refilling.

[marcoscastillo]

I had to watch the video twice the first time I was lost in your eyes! Great video

[strykervalkyrion]

it's actually better to just release the pressure after use by opening the dump valve on the bottom as the air in the tank will just force and liquids out. After a day of heavy use you can usually see a ton of liquid shooting out when releasing the pressure.

Thank you for the concise and very good explanation for BEGINNERS video. I also wasted hours watching Pro Old man telling me reviews but never explaining and just going to fast over the IMportant information as if they were talking to another pro. Thank you.

[julieweist]

This was so helpful thank you! I was scouring through all the videos you talked about in the beginning as well and this was much more to the point and helpful!

I have a battery nail gun. But im struggling to get the nails to go all the way into the timber.
Im wondering if havibg a compresser set up would save me. As with the batter NG you seem to need to press real hard. Causing issues with my hands.
Do you find with the right pressure you just line up and shoot? So to speak
😊
