Default Complete air kit for your garage from Harborfreight

Anyone ever try this stuff out? Does it work or is it junk?

seen and used the more expensive stuff, it's nice just expensive

I wouldn't/couldn't use this HF stuff though, only rated to 150psi. And i wouldn't feel safe using it on smaller/lower PSI compressors either.

Cheap/good/safe way to do this is pick up some of the high pressure PSI PVC, usually around 350 to 400psi, and use that with the other associated PVC hardware.

That looks very nice. But as most things from HF its going to fail sooner than later.

The HF stuff is nylon. There are many recommendations against using PVC pipe for air systems. Maybe the 350 psi stuff is better and resistant to shattering.

Here is a pro type system made of nylon, but cost is not not in the same league: http://www.topring.ca/v2/pdf08/s_05_a.pdf

I priced out doing it all in copper, but price of copper is a little staggering these days. Hence my interest in nylon, plus it being flexible makes installation easy. BTW, my HF ALU jack is still going strong after 6 years and countless trips to the track. A lot of their stuff is junk, but much of what I have bought has lasted well enough for me. My hydraulic press is still working fine with no leaks either.

ive bought alot for HF, the way i figure it, is if its not something very very important like say a torque wrench then ill buy it from HF. most of my air tools are from there, and ive never had a problem.
