Anyone ever used Campbell Hausfeld tools?

[hathatyl]

Just wondering.  I know they're a cheaper brand, but are they only good as paper weights or are they hidden gems?

 

only reason i ask is cause i was shopping the "hot new releases" section on amazon and saw this

i've had a campbell Hausfeld finishing nailer for about 6 years never missed a beat.......actually have a 3gl compressor for small stuff too that works great.

Wow that is insane deal if its a decent tool which the reviews say it is. The only thing I see bad about it is the charger isn't a smart charger.  Blows my Paslode away price wise

Weird the only retailer that seems to sell it is CPO through their various retail outlets like walmart, ebay, amazon, and others. Wish i could find more information about it.

I've used a few of the air tools, grinder, drill, impact....they worked well for not much investment.

I agree

I used there die grinder. It's the biggest piece of crap ever. I thought the biggest problem was lack of power. With that thoe the thing only cost me 20 bucks. I could of bought like 5 cambell huasfeld grinders for the price of my ingersoll rand.

Alright I'll give it a shot and let you guys know how it is. Just ordered it, expected delivery is the 17. If its crap it was cheap and its amazon so I can definitely return it.

I have used a couple of their smaller air nailers. I didn't have any complaints. That being said I just borrowed them for a job so I don't have extensive time with them. For the price I would have to say it's worth a try.

I had a Campbell Hausfeld 6 gallon pancake compressor for awhile.  I actually like it a little more than my Porter Cable 6 gallon pancake.  It ran more quiet though it took a little longer to refill.  But it always started up and worked fine, even had it running a roofing nailer for a church project.  I can't say too much about any of their guns but they seem to be a decent value brand.  I'm curious to see how your new nailer will perform.

How did this work out, Hatter?

Sorry im a bit behind on testing it.  I did fire it once just to see, but im in an apt complex and its pretty loud.  Ill have to take it over to my friend or fathers house here sometime to use up a whole box of nails to see how it goes.

All of the impulse nailers are loud. That's the one big downside to them plus the cost of the fuel.

use to own there hot dog compressor it was such a piece of shit it was 100db loud and took 7 mins to fill a 3 gallon tank. i hated it and was trying to break it so i could buy a rol-air and i ran it in -10 degree weather and it broke big time. now i have a rol- air air buddy and i love it.

i had a 26 gallon Compressor and it lasted 8 years and is still going today! I'd say its decent for the price but for occasional use.

I have a set that I got on sale. Framer and Brad. I have no issues whatsoever and for what I paid , I was expecting garbage. I would by them again.

CH was once known as a good quality brand. Had a big plant in Ohio. They changed hands a couple times, migrated toward import stuff, and quality became sporadic.

The thing is, import tools have greatly improved over the years. For non professional use I'd say go for it.
