Not sue the quality will be there for that money, but for in frequent home use it might be ok.

Cirtainly got most air tools you'll need.



I can vouch for the chipping hammer, of that style at least, being capable of digging up floors for access to central heating pipes. ::)



Anyway, just a thought. :)

Just noticed they are offering mail order.

Presume in store as well.

It does.


Can't be that good for the money though surely. :-\ so probably won't take heavy use ????

Yes I'm so soooo lucky.


It's a badly soldered joint. Been like it since the house was built. ::)

Still, when the room is sorted, I can chuck out that totally useless dining room table and chairs and put one of these in. :y

Good luck with that mortgage application.

Actually, a mate of mine runs a laser cutting company and made one out of wood. Will have to try and find a photo...

I thought if I park it with the main drive in the mirrors it will be more realistic. Staff can use the trade entrance as normal. :D

Just to add as posted on the other thread, I have a air hammer as the one in the set, but by a different manufacturer. Ideal for removing steering idlers. BAAAAA and of it popped. Seemples .

chris, i looked at this kit also.... what else do you need to provide in terms of air tanks, compressor, lines etc?  :-\
Title: Re: Costco air tool set
Post by: feeutfo on 14 November 2012, 18:34:59
At least a 25litre compressor. Bigger if possible. Gets expensive though.

And an air line long enough to reach. Lidl did a 30metre(?) retractable one a few here have. Don't bother with those curly plastic hoses.

I prefer euro fittings personally.

As said though, this is a particularly cheap set. :-\
