I want to use this compressor with a staple gun. Aside from purchasing an air hose, do I need any special connectors or gauges?

You don't need a regulator or gauge - the compressor has them built in. Get a 1/4" x 25' flexible hose and a quick release connector kit. Amazon has a kit that has everything in it for like $10.00 Henry@winko1.com if you need help with anything else. Henry.

No. You wont need any "special connectors or gauges" but you might need a connector for your hose to the air compressor. Nothing that you can't get from Home Depot or Lowes.

This is a awesome portable compressor and it will shoot staples but not at a high rate. If you need to shoot several staples per minute than you would need an air compressor with a larger motor. I use this compressor for small trim projects as so I don't have to lug around a heavy one. I hope this helps.

Don't worry about brand. Pneumatic gun 1/2" staples of any brand will fit. Make sure they are the right ga and they will be fine.

Lisa, a two or 3 gallon pancake compressor will suit this gun fine. I'm currently using a 27 gallon,(my only compressor I own) and it's complete overkill. This gun doesn't use much air at all. Good like with your purchase David

I don't know the specific requirements for the compressor. I use my nailer with a small 6 gallon Porter-Cable portable air compressor and it works great. This is an excellent tool that has given me good service. I hope this helps.

You will need an air compressor with a minimum of 80psi working pressure? Connect and go . If you don't have an air compressor you should consider a cordless model.

You'll need a 1/4" coupler to connect to 1/4" hose and accessories. Hoses come in several lengths and qualities depending on the type of job you're using this for. I use my compressor for blowing out dust from electronic equipment, airing up tires and other very minor jobs and an inexpensive plastic coil hose has worked fine. I also purchased a lower end 1/4" accessory kit, which came with the coupler for the same reasons.

the connectors it is talking about are to connect the hoses and tools to the compressor. you cannot connect a 1/4" hose directly to the compressor, but they make "kits" that have all kinds of adapters for attaching to accessories so that you can inflate all kinds of balls, tires, small swimming pools, etc., etc. If you JUST want to connect a 1/4" hose and nothing else, you need to go to a hardware store and they can find the proper fittings to reduce the line down to 1/4". I tried to use mine for my airbrush but it was way too noisy to use in the house for that. hope this helps?

Get quick release adapter...Male on compressor end. Ask any hardware store...Good luck.

Very dicey. A quick trip to Harbor Freight will get you a heavier compressor for not a lot of money. (I have the http://www.harborfreight.com/10-gal-25-hp-125-psi-oil-lube-air-compressor-61490.html )

The air compressor should have a regulator. That's how most air guns set depth of fasteners. Less air, less power shot, shallow shot! More air more depth! Hope that helps Chris. Best stapler I've owned.

My gun gets occasional use, and I've owned it for several years. So far, no problems. It does require decent air pressure (100 psi or more) and a large air hose to fire properly. I notice that I'm having to hammer in quite a few nails when the compressor pressure is low enough (80 psi) that it's about to kick on.

I think it comes with a standard air fitting so you just need brads. Of course you need an air compressor and hose.I really love this thing! It shoots 2 1/8 through 3/4" solid oak and manufactured studs with holes small enough to skip the color stain pencil.

I use the 6 gal Porter Cable from Home Depot. Works great for small projects. I wouldn't use it for rapid fire nailing. You need a bigger tank for that. I get maybe 5 shots before the compressor kicks on.

Standard 1/4 inch fitting connects to the compressor. This is a nice little unit; big enough to hold a good charge of air, but still easy to handle and fit in small spaces. You can use a short length of hose and carry the unit where needed or just leave it plugged in and use a longer hose.

I'm using this air compressor "Makita MAC2400 Big Bore 2.5 HP Air Compressor" for Nail gun. The Nail gun works perfectly.

You will need a compressor. Make sure you get one designed for the Paasche because I didn't and my compressor works great, but I spent an entire day getting the fittings for the hoses. Each brand uses different size hoses and fittings at the ends.

Not near my compressor so I can't check. It should. if it doesn't fit, any hardware store should have fittings that can be used to make it fit. I had to use one to allow the airbrush hose fit to the gauge.
