Palmgren 92102 HipShot 2 Amp Tankless Shoulder Strap Compressor

Comment: This is NOT a production nailer nor is it advertised as such. Because the compressed air is held only in the air hose it is best suited for small repair jobs. I use it often, particularly when working on 2nd story exteriors, for replacing missing and damaged shingles on old Victorian houses and when replacing rotten crown molding up under the eaves. Using Porter Cable air tools I usually can get 6-8 shots using 1" narrow crown staples or 18 gauge brads up to 2" long before the pressure drops too low to fully sink a fastener. It fully recharges the air line in about 30 seconds, which is much longer than it takes me to move the ladder for access to another section.

Buy it for its intended purpose and you will not be disappointed...

Watch for sales on this item. I purchased it for $35 shipped through Amazon.

Comment: I am pleasantly surprised on the performance of this tool. I am putting up moldings in a tray ceiling and this tool has saved me a lot of time and neck breaking work. This is the perfect thing for ladies who want to help themselves. Easy to work with no heavy compressors to lug around with. I think it has the advantage over the battery operated one, knowing that you can use it on demand. Love this tool!

Comment: I bought this product because my company installs doors for a living. At the end of an installation, we need to shoot about 20-25 18 gauge brads into the casing around a door. I thought that this should be able to handle at least 10 brads before it ran out of pressure, but it literally shooots only TWO brads before running out of sufficient pressure. I've followed all directions to the letter and they have not made a difference. We use a standard Porter-Cable 18 gauge brad nailer. How a company could sell something this poor is beyond me. We'll continue to use a reliable Porter Cable compressor for our jobs and return this piece of junk.

Comment: The HipShot is a great time saver and is really convient for small repair jobs where you don't want to drag or need a bulky compressor or a long hose to drag around. I work for a major home builder and deal with warranty issues ,I work in occupied finish homes and condos. The hipshot is great for repair on base moulding,chair and shoe. , It can be use in a variety of nailers such as brads,finish and light staple guns.The price and convience of this product is well whorth the purchase and if you get this product with a brad and a finish nailer it still cheaper than buying good cordless nailer. This is just a good product and such a great ideal and I would recommend it to anyone who use brad or finished nailers
