Design
At first glance, this kit may look like every other accessory kit on the market. However, Campbell Hausfeld has done an amazing job of designing industrial strength, durable air compressor parts and accessories that can fit any budget, whether you use the tools for projects around the house or on the jobsite. The plugs included in this set are cold-forged to provide customers with unparalleled strength and durability. The couplings included are tested to withstand 25,000 life cycles, but you can quite easily get even more use out of these well-crafted parts. Additionally, the kit also includes a blow gun, four ¼-inch male plugs, two inflation needles, a 50 PSI gauge, a safety nozzle, coupler, a tapered inflator, two ¼-inch female coupling plugs and two male couplings, as well as a dual foot chuck.
Who It’s For
Campbell Hausfeld has made it incredibly easy for first-time air compressor buyers and experienced users to enhance their air tool accessory collection at impressively low prices. This set is a great addition to the purchase of a new air compressor unit, or as a gift for your loved one that enjoys building and tinkering in the basement. Their industrial strength and quality also make this kit highly popular with contractors.
Some customers have made comments about some of the parts “feeling cheap” due to some of them being made of plastic, but Campbell Hausfeld assures customers that these products are durable and can last a very long time. Additionally, the company backs the product with a limited warranty, so you can rest assured that if something happens to any of the pieces in this kit while they are under warranty, the company will handle your issue quickly and professionally.
Pros:
- Easy and durable enough for beginner users and professional contractors alike
- Long-lasting performance
- Limited warranty included
- 25,000 life cycle tested and approved
Cons:
- Some parts are made of plastic
- Only includes a 50 PSI gauge
- May not be compatible with all Campbell Hausfeld air compressors
Final Verdict on the Campbell Hausfeld MP2847 17-pc ¼-inch Air Tool and Accessory Kit
Overall, this kit is well worth the money. It includes many of the attachments and accessories that are needed for simple and complex projects, home repairs, and home remodeling projects. However, it is important to note that this is not an “all-in-one” kit, therefore you may still find yourself needing a particular accessory for certain projects that may not be included in this kit. This kit is designed to help first-time air compressor buyers start a collection of accessory parts that they may need for simple jobs, in addition to replacing older parts that are in need of replacement. All in all, though, the affordable price coupled with the limited warranty makes this kit well worth the purchase.
