Great kit, nice compressor June 14, 2007
D. Blair (CA)
The reviews say it all. The compressor is well designed, however I'm getting some vibration from the handle that is making it a little louder than I imagined it to be. In fact a friend of mine has a craftsman compressor that is quite a bit quieter than this one. It is solid and well made and has a very short cycle time compared to my 30 gallon oiless. Would I recommend it? Not sure, if your looking for a super quiet compressor I would still shop around. As far as a solidly made piece of equipment, I don't think you could go wrong with this one.

I'm very happy with this kit. Shipping was intact, nothing damaged, all parts/accessories included. Setup was straightforward. The compressor isn't crazy loud; it's just another motor running, quite acceptable. It's easy enough to move around my garage, and luggable into the house when the time comes. The nailer works fine, although I haven't used it under productive conditions, just tested it.
I'm most happy that this unit can drive an impact wrench for tire changes. I was concerned that its low CFM (3.3) wouldn't be enough power but to my surprise it's fine! I gambled and purchased a very low end, low CFM, Sears Companion 1/2 in. Impact Wrench, Mfr. model #19127. I can take lug nuts (80 ft./lbs torqued) off a 2002 Honda CR-V and the compressor doesn't kick in until I'm working on the last (fifth) lug nut, and then it only runs for 20 seconds or so. There's no holdup while the unit re-charges to full capacity.
One note about the oil plug: there IS an oil plug that came with my unit to replace the small temporary plastic plug after you fill it with oil. The actual plug is black and about two to three inches long and looks kinduv like a fat dipstick.
All in all, this kit fits my needs very nicely!
Very god combo July 15, 2006

This is a nice compressor-nailer kit. I just got it yesterday and did the break-in and was running the nailer in 30 minutes.
There are a couple of things that could be improved.
1) The nails and other small items were loose in the package so most of the nailes were out of the small box and broken in small groups.
2) Makita used two small (temporary) plastic plugs, one for the air inlet (it includes a air filter assemply to be screwed into this) and another for the oil filler hole. There is no real plug for the oil filler hole and this little plastic plug won't seal completely so some oil will seep out. I need to get a 1/2" MPT plug.
Overall, a real nice buy.

I'm pleased with the Makita MAC700KIT 2 HP Air Compressor Kit I purchased from Amazon.com. I did a fair amount of research and was tempted to purchase a Porter-Cable oil-free kit, but after borrowing a Craftsman (same as Porter-Cable)oil-free compressor from a friend, I decided to go with the oil lubricated Makita primarily because the unit is much quieter but also because I'm convinced the oil-based units have a longer life span. I'm in the finishing stage of installing hardwood floors. I started the Makita unit (after the required 20 minute lubrication "break-in") and asked my wife what she thought about the noise level. "Not to bad since it's outside", she said, the only problem was, it was inside house in the next room over. The oil-free unit sounds like a jack hammer. I recommend the Makita unit, but it took a about 10 days to arrive, so if you want it earlier, pay extra for the shipping.

I bought the MAC700Kit and am using it to trim out my entire home. The AF503 nailer with 18 guage brads is great for baseboards and quarter round. The only reason this doesn't rate a 5 is that it arrived with the plastic oil cap broken. Appears to have been broken at the factory as it was well packaged.
