Fittings inserted, oiled & fired them all up tonight. Touchwood, run the appropriate PSI for each tool, keep well oiled & there's not a lot that can go wrong with air tools.

Still got a 19 year old air driver & reversible drill that work. So i cant see why they wont last a year or 2. for less then $20 each cant go wrong for sure.

That is cheap, but I have simply been burnt by SuperCrap auto too many times to even take the risk anymore, I just go without, borrow or whatever until I can source something at least half decent.

I just don't go there at all anymore, I will go anywhere but there. Very little of their stuff will do what it is meant to do, it is purely junk.

only problem with super cheap is that when they started there prices where super cheap, you expected the quality wasn't as good. but as long as it lasted the job you needed it for was easier that forking out heaps of cash for a tool you would only ever use once.
however, now they are about the same price as everyone else and the quality is still shite.

when they have good deals on they are alright though.

my 2c anyway.

Only problem with a lot of these kits is that the air tools use more air then the compressor powering it

Average 12CFM compressor only outputs 8.8CFM there’s just not enough volume of air
