I think for routine use of the wrenches or hammer, the advice you give
for the nailer will work as well. For all day use, an inline nailer is
a good deal with a power wrench. Changing all four tires on your car???
A little oil in the inlet will keep the outfit happy for as long as
you're likely to need it.

I recently purchased a compressor for blowing out my sprinkler but now
want to use it for my woorworking hobby. It is a 6HP 30 gallon Sears
unit. I recently purchased an 18 gauge Harbor Freight Brad Nailer
special for $25.00. The compressor also came with 2 wrenches and a
chisel tool. My question regards oil for these tools. When using
these tools, does the compressor need some sort of an oiler
attachement? The Brad Nailer came with a little bottle of oil but I
am not sure where to oil it. I looked in the instructions but did not
see any instructions. Any help would be great.


For pneumatic wrenches, some kind of in-line oiler is normally used. I
bought one decades ago from Sears and I'm sure they are available any place
pneumatic tools are sold. You won't need your pneumatic wrenches for your
wood working hobby, unless you are being especially brutal. The oiler is
attached via a short piece of hose to the tool. Mine came with a belt clip.
DO NOT PUT IT PERMANENTLY IN YOUR AIR LINE. You don't want oil getting into
your woodworking duties.

The brad gun can be oiled by putting 5 drops of pneumatic oil in the fitting
where the air attaches to the tool. I add oil to my brad gun everytime I am
about to do a round of nailing. If its just a few nails, I don't bother. I
use my brad gun several times a week. You can get oil for the nailer at any
store which sells brad and nail guns. Its frequently packaged under a
nailer brand name such as Senco or Porter Cable.
