Am I the only one who has an issue with this? Out of the box, you CANNOT use this tool. You have to attach an air adapter to use this!

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

It has been a little while since I used it last to place down prefinished hardwood flooring.it came with a protective shoe to be attached for that purpose However did not come with the air adapter to accommodate my air to compressor.so had to purchase one on my own to get up and running

None supplied. Mine did not come with one either. Home Depot has them for a few dollars. There are different sizes so you need to check your compressor hose and fitting to get the right one. I am very happy with this tool--worked great when I got the pressure set right. Don't forget the few drops of oil occasionally.

I have been having the same problem. I was thinking it was missing a part on the end of the nozzle that the attachments attach to, if that makes sense. Good to know others have got it to work. I'll keep trying.

i have the same problem... i think the adapter is damage. hope amazon don't refuse to take back or exchange.

I did not, but I guarantee that at almost three times the price I paid, it is not worth buying. The very small auger (it's actually more of a gimlet) makes it virtually useless.

Didn't come with an adaptor. Not sure what kind of adaptor is needed. Never used this product, cause I didn't like it. I won't recommend this to any one. Actual product doesn't look anywhere near to what is shown in the picture. Good luck!

Sorry, I can't help you. I sent the tool back because I couldn't get the smaller hand piece in the U.S. They make a different model of this in Europe that has a smaller interchangeable hand piece. Thought that was kind of weird.

The tool is a vacuum pump, not an air compressor. You need AC gauge lines to use the pump correctly.

Sorry, but I haven't seen it without the tool kit. But, first I would try returning the one you received as it was broken in shipppment and not by you.

In my 26 yrs. of business as an owner and tech, I haven't seen a tool yet nor can think of a savvy way for extraction. Looks like a cylinder head removal. Real bummer!!! My heart would be sinking, too.

I have not been able to find anything that works - I haven't thrown it away as I keep thinking I'll find somewhere it will work - no luck so far. I reviewed what others have said - it becomes obvious that we are not all getting the same item as some state things like 'no adapters included' or 'not as illustrated' mine was exactly as pictured and came with two adapters - this is the only one I can comment about.

In answering the question. I would not let that keep you from buying this. I work awesome. It has been such a great tool!!!

I always use "quick-connect" adapters anyway. Just buy a set of inexpensive connectors, which includes both male and female typically plus a "receptor." You put the receptor on the hose, and connector on the inflator. Then if you want to use another tool, you can quickly change.

no. you don't have a good way of holding the correct angle on the tool. If you don't need a perfect angle, you might be able to free hand it.

I dont know about the efficacy of the Hauppauge rig, but I DO know that a call (actually, two different calls) to Bosch left me with a definitive impression that a culture of apathy exists within the Bosch company, or at least within their ''technical'' department..Both ''techs'' with whom I spoke demonstrated a complete lack of interest about the product, and offered absolutely nothing in regards to a reasonable ''fix'' for the video out situation. Here is what both techs had to say about how the idiots within Bosch expect the user of this $300 ancillary troubleshooting device use the video out with respect to troubleshooting in the field: ''Plug the supplied cord into a television''...REALLY?!?!?!?...Plug in ALL 3 FEET OF THE CORD INTO A TELEVISION ?!?!?!?.....Who is going to lug the TV into the attic for you?...Where are you going to plug the TV in when you are on a ladder 8 feet in the air with that luxuriant 3 foot cord attatched to the BACK of the tool?!?!...Wow...Another very important thing- the video out lead is ANALOG!!!!.....It is 2013, and these asshats @ Bosch are stuck in the '80's...Not a single video capture device marketed today uses an analog communication cord....Well, mebbe there is some outfit in Slovakia making analog friendly devices, but not one device @ Best Buy, Micro Center, etc. offer ANYTHING compatible with this device...IDIOTS!!!!!...I bought this camera, the thing is made obsolete by this one feature...WHY would someone buy an inspection camera, pay top dollar, and KNOW that other devices such as the DeWalt allow you to EASILY capture a picture of the image that you wish to see???....FOR THE SAME MONEY?!?!?!...I was a solid Bosch tool devotee-I own their worm-drive circular saw, a stud finder, laser equipment, a jigsaw, and am currently in the market for a contractor's saw...You best believe I will not be looking at the Bosch version of the contractor saw after this...No more Bosch for me.

Probably Chinese factory manufactured this tools. I returned this item back because it required air compression that I did not have. I bought battery powered tools instead.

Yes it worked perfectly. Had to cut down a bunch of tree limbs and it was completed successfully using this tool. But I do believe you must buy an adapter. maybe you should call the company

I have only used to air up tires and it requires recycling frequently.I don't use it with air tools but think it might be too small over the long haul.
