Bostitch compressor is lightweight, yet powerful

Bostitch has a new six-gallon, oil-free pancake compressor available in combo kits with the company’s three new finish nailers.

Product manager Derek Brown says the compressor is lightweight enough to carry to various job sites and yet powerful enough for multitool use.

“With a long life target, professional woodworkers can be confident this compressor will get the job done. Each of the convenient one, two or three tool and compressor combo kits is ideal for finish and trim applications,” says Brown.

The compressor delivers up to 2.6 standard cubic feet per minute at 90 psi, weighs 32 lbs. and operates at 80 dBA, according to the company.

“Thanks to its integrated control panel, it helps vital compressor components to be protected against tough jobsite conditions,” says Brown. “The compressor is also designed with an oil-free free pump for ease of use. Equipped with a ball drain valve, the compressor tank can be easily drained.”

The compressor sells separately for $179.

It’s also available in three combo kits with the company’s new finish nailers.

The first combo kit, model BTFP72665, includes an 18-gauge brad nailer with airline and fittings, and sells for $179.99.

The second kit, model BTFP12605, also includes a16-gauge straight finish nailer and sells for $259.99.

The third kit, model BTFP72646, has all three finish nailers — including the new 3/8” crown stapler — and sells for $279.99.
