Tools and Hardware Reviews of Palmgren 92101 HipShot 12-volt Ni-Cad Tankless Cordless Shoulder Strap Compressor
Customer Review: Great idea, less than great implementation
Summary: 3 Stars
I ordered this through an Amazon seller and got a good price even though I had to pay shipping. Think they are clearing them out. Seems like a good value in that you get the compressor, 2 batterys and a charger. The quality of this item is good. After verification that it worked, I took it apart. Inside quality looks good as well. The real problem is that output pressure cannot be adjusted. It is 125 psi which exceeds max on some of my air tools. Took apart to see if could be adjusted. No, contains a non-adjustable pressure switch obviously set to 125 psi. I usually set my pressure to about 90 psi which is less than the max for all of my tools but enough for all jobs. So, I thought I could regulate output down to about 90. Bought a small regulator at local Harbor Freight (on sale for 3.99 w/ fittings, or you can pay $20 at Home Depot, no fittings. Refitted for my needs for a few extra dollars. Had to replace the pressure meter with one of my own since Harbor F one leaked. With no real air pressure storage, cannot tolerate ANY leaks or compressor runs all of the time and cannot reach pressure. Think it will work ok for limited use I have in mind as a homeowner not wishing to drag big compressor into home for one or two shots. But, this item would have been a better design if only output could be regulated down and maybe somewhat more air storage. Plenty of room in case for more air storage.

The secret to HipShot's size is that unlike most compressors, it uses no air tank. The hose and whatever tool you attach to the HipShot store the air you need.
Power comes from a 12-volt rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad) battery, which is included, along with an AC charger. Minimum charge time for the battery is 1 hour, but allow 3-4 hours for a full charge. The HipShot will provide 7-8 minutes of total operation per battery charge, but the automatic shutoff feature extends that considerably. When HipShot reaches its maximum operating capacity of 125 pounds/square inch (psi). If the pressure drops below 85 psi, the compressor automatically turns on again. There is also a manual shutoff switch and an onboard low-battery indicator light. Overall, you can expect to get 120-180 shots per charge with 18-gauge fasteners, or 30-50 shots per charge with 15-gauge fasteners.
HipShot will powers pneumatic staplers, pin, brad or finish nailers, and can be used with many competitive pneumatic guns on the market. Or for best results, check out Palmgrens complete line of Nailers and Staplers.
HipShot is ideal for inaccessible locations, finishing up projects; completing many small items on a punch list, small projects, or anytime you don?t need to drag out the big compressor and hoses.
