Just got a Husky 60gal 7hp compressor and I am going to open my shop soon Wanted to know if the tools that come in packs (4 in 1 or 5 in 1) are any good or if anyone could recommend name brands i want to look for. I am wanting to start off with:

die grinder

nailer/stapler

sander

sprayer (glue)

Thanks,

Thats gonna be a NOISY s.o.b. Put it in it's own closet, with some air intakes in the walls. (not too big...the noise will get out!)

I am a BIG believer in quality tools. If it's cheap...good. It won't last as long as a major name brand, and Im not speaking of the ones from the tool trucks.

Senco, Ingersoll Rand, Campbell Hausfeld...etc. You'll pay more, but tools are an investment....in your future. Treat em good, oil em daily...they'll last forever.

Get the glue pot and sprayer from an upholstery suppy joint.

The blister pack tools will get you started, but they are not top shelf. You get what you pay for.
