Refurbished Air Compressor & 3 Nailer Kit from Bostich: An Inexpensive Nailer / Compressor Combo Kit

An air compressor and nailer kit has become almost essential in the DIYer’s tool collection.  We’ve found another fantastic deal on Amazon, a refurbished Bostitch Air Compressor and Three Nailer Kit.  If you’ve been considering a nailer combo kit but have been holding off, this kit offers a great set of tools at a very inexpensive price.

The new version of this kit retails at the big boxes for a whopping $280-$300!  A good alternative to buying new is getting this tool factory-reconditioned on Amazon.  Amazon currently sells this refurbished combo kit for a mere $184.93.  Better yet, this unit is shipped free from Amazon’s stock, and Amazon doesn’t charge sales tax in most places.  For the average DIYer, this equates to more than a $100 savings, and that’s before you account for the gas saved not driving to the store.  Follow the link below to head over to Amazon’s product page.

Details of the Factory Reconditioned Bostitch Air Compressor and Three Nailer Kit w/ Hose and Bag

Bostitch Pancake Air Compressor & 40′ Hose

Powered by a 2 HP motor, the six gallon compressor delivers enough power to provide constant pressure to the nailers included in this kit, and can also be used for other pneumatic tools, like Bostitch’s Framing Nailer (also available on Refurbished from Amazon at that link).  Included is a 40 foot hose that provides maximum reach around your garage or workshop without the need to constantly move the compressor. 

2-1/2 inch 16-Gauge Bostitch Finish Nailer

For larger moldings and trim pieces, finishing nails provide added strength and durability.  Finishing nailers are the tool of choice for installing the first and last boards in a hardwood flooring installation, and can be turned on their edge and double as a toe nailer in spots where a hardwood flooring nailer can’t reach.  Finishing nailers are also useful for the installation of wainscoting, and building furniture.

1-1/4 inch 18-Gauge Bostitch Brad Nailer

This brad nailer is great for small trim work and other finishing details.  The small nail heads are easy to hide; just turn up the pressure on the compressor to countersink the nail with no effort.

1 inch 18-Gauge Bostitch Stapler

The 18 Gauge stapler is great for installing exterior moldings, securing some types of wiring (not high voltage electric), fastening fabrics to wood on furniture, and other jobs where a strong bond over a span (rather than just a nail head) is required.

What to Expect in Factory Reconditioned (Refurbished) Tools

• Most Factory Reconditioned / Refurbished Tools come with full manufacturers’ warranties.  (This Air Compressor / Three Nailer Kit is fully warranted by Bostitch).
• Factory Reconditioned means that the manufacturer repaired/replaced some part of the tools in this kit.  The repair is done to original specification, and manufacturer stands behind their work.
• Some factory reconditioned tools have minor differences from their retail counterparts.  In the case of this set, there could be some slight cosmetic differences from a new version.  Also, while Amazon reports that the unit ships with fasteners, one reviewer noted otherwise, but others don’t mention it.  Fasteners for nailers can be purchased at the local big box.
