I can get 2-3 shots out of it before it needs to fire the compressor. I was told it was designed for builder support people to complete quickie repairs on finished homes etc. I have one of these, I got it to provide portable air to blow out computers on job sites.

I even tryed different brand guns and hoses and still no change. A total rip off and lowes canisters were never anywhere near full, so you got even less shots. I would hate to think how often this thing has to run to get the pressure to run a nail gun. Might as well just nail the nails in by hand and you wouldnt look like such a tool. i had the kobalt CO2 system and i was lucky if i got 150 shots of a brad nailer from a 20oz canister.

In our applications they will not replace our Paslode Impulse drivers. We tried one of those Kobalt/Lowes variants of the CO2 rig.

You don't throw away the canister when it's empty. You can get them refilled at The Sports Authority or any place else that fills paintball gun canisters. “and CO2-powered belt packs can only drive so many nails before you have to buy a new canister.”
