Christmas Desperados

[Sturdee]

Just finished watching Carols by Candlelight and thought I'd better check this before going to bed. Sentry duty.

Like the shepherd watching over his flock at night.

the shepherd. Nicer tone than the Lord high executioner.

here I am still here at 11.20 on xmas night (not eve) I have my new toy in the "shed" .
only a 24l GMC compressor, might wake up the kids and wife if I start it up now.

I only have one question, it has 2 outlets, 1 regulated (this has my prized staple gun attached for upholstery at the moment) and the other one is direct, what can I use that for other than blowing dust around? I will have to go out on the morrow (or next pay day) and purchase some connectors that are suitable, (I am told my old ones won't let enough air thru anymore) I do have an idea what i need but can't remember the name of them, anyways someone will tell me somewhere.


hope to play in the morning

If you are going to use a spraygun you could always fit a regulator dedicated to it so you dont need to readjust pressure when changing from nailgun to spraygun etc

Gazza,
you want "Nitto" fittings as they flow more air than equivalently sized Ryco's and others.

yep they is the connectors that I got b4.

the ones I had fitted to my staple 15 years ago (or so) are not the nitto ones, so will have one hose with nitto on one end and the old fittings on the other (why you ask?, well because I am stubborn and evryone else has nitto on their guns and I dont wanna)

I will see if my old regulator will be able to be fitted in the unregulated one....
I got a cheap ait tool kit from big w for $15 with claytons nito fittings, they seem to serve the purpose.
now need to find out lots of things to do with it rather than doing stapling (upholstery!), cause I havfta do that I have bn told.
