How well does the compression tool work with other brands of connectors?

As long as length stripped on the cable is right it seems to work with most brands. I got a pack of 20 from harbor freight and the worked fine.

It works really well. The whole kit id excellent. The only difficulty is matching ends to cable.

Yes it connects using a quick connect fitting. All of us in our 4wheeler group uses Vair. I took the screw on connector for the valve stem and installed a a regular push type with a clamp from Harbor Freight $2.oo, easier connect, safer for valve stem. This compressor fills the fastest. The next model up fills slower but is continuous duty. I picked this one for output volume. Works great.

A porter cable pancake style air compressor will work just fine also bostitch pancake,, those are about the smallest that I would use and anything bigger is just gravy

I have used these with about 5 different crimp tools and had no issue. Used on cat 5 and 6 as well but cat6 fits much better with the plastic core.

Works with all connectors. Works with standard RJ-45 and standard RJ-11 connectors.

I haven't had any problems using this tool out of the box, it hooksup to my compressor hose without any adapter

after reading what your connector is,in short,this tool will work. I WOULD USE CAUTION if you use the wrong die,[this tool only comes with so many] it will distort the lug[wire end] making it almost impossible to insert it in to the plug its self.it is a very good LIGHT DUTY TOOL for the money,depends on how many times you use it,and does it come with the correct dies for your application

Connecting the negative (black) first is the safest approach. This cable does work well with a small compressor. Enjoy!

I used this on a Honda S2000 that has a deep sparkplug port. The deluxe has a extension that makes it easier and safer (my opinion) to test the compression. I do not have to try and twist a hose to tighten unto the sparkplug port thread. There maybe a tool or a technique to do this but, I wanted the easy option.

I have been using the porter Cable Fr350b with 2 1/4" & 3 1/2" nails mated to the Porter Cable Pancake compressor for a couple of months. This combination works great. I am using 80 psi with the 2 1/4" nails, & 95 psi with the 3 1/2" nails. Buy it! you will love it. Jim McIntosh

I have used a couple of these style connectors. One works great .. no leaks etc. Another one , with a nozzle connected to it leaks slightly. Haven't been able to deremine why, but the leak, while a little annoying, hasn't been enough for me to delve into it any further. Bottom line: I will continue to use these as needed, all things considered, a quick and easy solution !

No, there is no cable retention on this compression tool. You will be happy with this tool.

I am currently using this compressor for automotive air tools, and it powers everything I connect to it with no problem. If you are using multiple nailers off one compressor, you may need to check the usage on the guns to see if it exceeds the output of the compressor.

I've used it for both the pass-through style connectors and regular connectors and it works fine. We just went through a new install and terminated over 100 connections with this crimper, and it worked great. My business partner prefers the pass through connectors, I still prefer the traditional ones, but it works all the same.

I don't know what compression fittings are. These are screw-on connections just like hooking up a garden hose to a faucet.

I bought a nice little Tekton socket set. They work great, perfectly compatible. I have always had good luck with the Tekton socket stuff I bought for DIY around the house. They have a nice, wide variety of sets that would fit any need. I bought a little compact set with this ratchet with just the common sizes for my tool bag, since I thought the whole idea with this neat little ratchet was compactness. Oh, and their prices are great too. I have not broke any yet. Oh yea, the ratchet is still kewl too!
