Price vs Quality Dec 17, 2007
By Building contractor
I was a little disappointed with this,
the plastic housing and belt clip are cheap and very flimsy,
a better grade plastic and a metal clip would have been a better choice if you were going to market this as workman's tool.
I could not get the Co2 cylinder filled at the welding supply shop since they did not have the fitting or scale to fill so small a cylinder, so I ended up at the paintball sport shop which did fill the cylinder for $2 and could sell me an extra backup cylinder either an 8 or 12 oz.
So I bought the 12oz for $20 and filled it to for $2.
My first time attaching the supplied 10oz cylinder to the regulator, it gushed and leaked badly
I found that the O ring seal on the bottle was getting pinched and torn, they give you 5 extra with the kit but they are cheap and gummy so every time I tried the same thing happened.
I didn't expect to have to repair a brand new tool, a little aggravated with that fact I gave up on Jac pac's bottle, and I screwed in the cylinder I bought at the paintball shop and no problem, the O ring on that bottle seams to be made of a stiffer better quality material, I guess I'm going to have to buy seals at the paintball shop for the Jac Pac bottle to work.
although the whole kit is worth the sum of its parts, this is not new or unique as they would like you to think. You can buy the Co2 bottles at the paintball store and a better quality regulator with higher pressure output from HyperFlo (google it) and a belt clip and hose from H.D. or Lowes.
First question I had, Does it work?
Brad Nailer- of corse, they have very low air pressure and consumption.
Trim nailer - yes, ran my bostitch FN60 no problem
Roof nailer- yes, But did not sink all nail heads (Bostich N12)
Framing nailer- yes, But did not sink any heads, 1/4" to ½" sticking up (Bostich N80cb)
Palm nailer- yes, but air consumption may lead to freeze up due to compressed Co2
because of the compressed Co2 this will condensate and sweat around the regulator and fittings
With the roof and framing nailer it acts as if your using too small of a compressor, but still it does work, carry your hammer with you and you don't have to haul out the compressor and hose, worth it for the convenience and time savings on smaller jobs and excellent for trim punchout.

 works well for the price Feb 03, 2008
By Ron Mc

I am a professional carpenter. I wanted to buy something that would work with my brad nailer, stapler and pin nailer without having to buy a whole new expensive for instance senco battery powered finisher nailer. I own a paslode finish nailer and framing nailer which works well for bigger jobs. Anyway, after the initial setup mistakes I found that the jac pac works very well with the smaller nailers. I did notice that the 10oz canister that comes with the unit is a little light for what I was donig and immediatley upgraded to a 20oz bottle which works perfectly. It drives staples and finish nails into oak without any problem. Over all I am very pleased with its performance.

 Handy tool to have Aug 31, 2008
By GadgetGuy

I have used this a number of times and have found it very usefull.
Pros: extremely portable (no need for compressor), light, easy to use, can use either a 9 or 20oz bottle, CO2 is readily available at most Wal Marts.
Cons: Can go through CO2 fairly quickly (20oz bottle a must), storage case not well thought out (Does not go back in without complete disassembly).
Even with the cons it is a valuable asset to the tool collection and simplifies simple jobs.

JacPac Regulator Jan 12, 2008
By jhart
Works very well, simple to use and easy to get refilled through a store that sells paint ball supplies. Would highly recommend it for small jobs that you don't want to lug a full compressor around.
