are they any good? i've got a paint sprayer, dual action sander, die grinder and cut off-tool, they came w/ the compressor, just wonderin what kinda quality they are?

They are good for what they cost and have a decent warranty. Put a couple drops of air tool oil in the inlet before you use it to keep them lubed and also it helps repel moisture.

I think Husky might be made by Campbell Hausfield, I would take IR over Husky any day.

yea, i know IR is badass and any that i buy will be IR, but these things came w/ the compressor, so i wasn't goin to say no, just curious as to how they'd hold up

Since it came with the compresser, use them and see how they turn out yourself.

I use a husky impact. It works pretty good. never let me down for about 3 yrs now.

I have a Husky 3/8 drive impact. I dont expect a whole lot from a 3/8 unit, but it actually surprized me. And it only cost about $40. I did crack the case right where the air fitting goes in, so it leaks there, so I have to unplug it between use.

Home Depot wouldnt exchange it. They told me to call Huky direct (1 888 HD Husky), never did though

I love my 3/8 drive air ratchet, not best ratchet I have used, but it is fully dependable. always works. the rest of my tools ar IR and a few mac, and craftsman air tools. the MAC impact sucks compared to my ir.

The few Husky air tools I've used were fine. Ditto on the IR impact. At home we have a nice compressor, but the one I have at school was one I picked up for free, and the IR impact makes it work like a nice machine.

Heckler · 01-13-2004, 12:21 PM

what about the craftsman tools that come with their compressor, are they any good?

Huskey is actually made by Florida Pneumatic (at least I think that's the name of the company). But I know that the same company that makes the air tools for Snap On makes the Huskey line.
I've got a few Huskey tools and I've been very impressed with them and the price. Plus they have the best waranty in the business.
