I saw at HD a SB-1664FN - Industrial 16-Gauge Straight Finish Nailer Kit for $150 and I was about to get it, when I realized that it doesn't work by itself. It needs some kind of power. What I need to use it (except nails)? How much is a compressor ? There is any nailer that works by itself, I mean without any other accessories (powered by electricity or whatever) and be able to use 2 inch nails? Thank you.

Hello all, I'm new to the forum. I'm having problems with my compressor. It's a 110v porter cable professional, 20-25ish gal., horizonal style you can push/pull like a wheelbarrow. The only numbers I can find on it are DK380700AV, besides the part number on the pump. The problem I'm having is when I turn it on, it runs fine for about 3-4 seconds and then the motor starts turning slower and slower as if under extreme load. Sounds kinda like starting a car with a near dead battery. It kinda sounds if the motor is still tring to turn but the pump won't let it, but that's just my uneducated guess. If I cut it off and restart it, it does the same thing over again. This happened a few days ago also. It did the same thing but I pulled it off the truck to get it to level ground to check the oil and air filter also drained the tank, oil was fine. Tank had small amount of water nothing big. Then I did a visual inspection to see if I could see anything obvious. I noticed that the line running off the top of the pump back into the tank was leaking. I tightened it and turned on the compressor, worked fine. Ran it all day no problem, then it happen again. Thank much for any help. -A
