Air Compressor "Accessory Tools"

[Wolverine]

Just got my AC and hose reel. I've got an impact gun and air ratchet. However, I need some of the smaller accessories: blow gun kit, tire inflator, etc. etc.


Any recommendations, or just go and get a "cheepie kit" at HD or Lowes?

They're almost all made in China now anyways. Sears has been clearancing a lot of their older air tools and accessories. I can go to just about any Sears store in a 50 mile radius and find 2 or 3 Craftsman air toll accessory kits marked down from about $30 to about $15.

BTW... you will want a good swivel whip hose (a lead hose that bridges from your primary line to your tool). The Amflo from Home Depot are my favorite. They were the beefiest ones I could find.

I like vacula blow guns. You can get them through napa or several tool catalogs. THey are also available of the Snap on truck but are more expensive. Here is the part # ya1055b.

Like some one said earlier, those are pretty much made in China. I have around 4-6 blow guns layinging around my shop and a tire inflator

AMFLO FROM HD... USA!!! go figure that one out. When we got the lines hooked up we got an amflo accessory kit for like $20-$25 that had a few plugs and couplers, air chuck, and blowgun thing. Kidna pricey but the stuffs held up well so far.

Milton still makes their stuff in the US

I have a Milton dual tire chuck that has a built in pressure gauge on every hose reel. Used them for years, and I never have to go back to the tool box for a tire gage. Nice to hear that their products are still manufatured in the US.
