2" Brad Nailer & Air Compressor Combo Kit - MAC700KIT  Product Reviews

"The reviews say it all. The compressor is well designed, however I'm getting some vibration from the handle that is making it a little louder than I imagined it to be. In fact a friend of mine has a craftsman compressor that is quite a bit quieter than this one. It is solid and well made and has a very short cycle time compared to my 30 gallon oiless. Would I recommend it? Not sure, if your looking for a super quiet compressor I would still shop around. As far as a solidly made piece of equipment, I don't think you could go wrong with this one."

"I'm very happy with this kit. Shipping was intact, nothing damaged, all parts/accessories included. Setup was straightforward. The compressor isn't crazy loud; it's just another motor running, quite acceptable. It's easy enough to move around my garage, and luggable into the house when the time comes. The nailer works fine, although I haven't used it under productive conditions, just tested it. I'm most happy that this unit can drive an impact wrench for tire changes. I was concerned that its low CFM (3.3) wouldn't be enough power but to my surprise it's fine! I gambled and purchased a very low end, low CFM, Sears Companion 1/2 in. Impact Wrench, Mfr. model #19127. I can take lug nuts (80 ft./lbs torqued) off a 2002 Honda CR-V and the compressor doesn't kick in until I'm working on the last (fifth) lug nut, and then it only runs for 20 seconds or so. There's no holdup while the unit re-charges to full capacity. One note about the oil plug: there IS an oil plug that came with my unit to replace the small temporary plastic plug after you fill it with oil. The actual plug is black and about two to three inches long and looks kinduv like a fat dipstick. All in all, this kit fits my needs very nicely!"

"This is a nice compressor-nailer kit. I just got it yesterday and did the break-in and was running the nailer in 30 minutes. There are a couple of things that could be improved. 1) The nails and other small items were loose in the package so most of the nailes were out of the small box and broken in small groups. 2) Makita used two small (temporary) plastic plugs, one for the air inlet (it includes a air filter assemply to be screwed into this) and another for the oil filler hole. There is no real plug for the oil filler hole and this little plastic plug won't seal completely so some oil will seep out. I need to get a 1/2" MPT plug. Overall, a real nice buy."

"Quality unit that may be the quietest on the market. Make certain you read the instructions about oil addition and 20 minute break in. Once that is done, this unit should last a lifetime."
