The CPACK300 has been great for my recent remodelling jobs. Compared to the cp3, the kit remains the same except for the change in compressor. From my experience with both kits, the CPack300 has a far more ergonomic & jobsite friendly design. As other have pointed out for the CP3, the compressor handle was poorly designed & weight and size has been reduced to produce the cpack300 compressor. It's a tad more powerful at 40 psi & so much easier to lug around. Guages are protected by a rubber rims & the compressor is as compact as can be, the design is queter than the previous design & queter that similar porter cable designs.(it'll still wake you up in the middle of the night if you keep it plugged in next to you )
All guns require a bit of oil, but work flawlessly. Bostich makes great products made for a lifetime & i'm sure this is no different. The guns have never jammed, and work fine with 3rd party nails, or brads... after about 2000 nails, i have yet to have a jam. The design is great, the guns fire comparatively quiet & have the dual safety feature.
The no mar tips are of hard plastic & in my opinion inferrior to the porter cable guns i've used prior to purchasing this combo. I do appreciate the comprenhsive kit that is included. basically you get a quality stanley tool bag, about $25 worth of nails, staples, and brads .
The only deduction i'd give is to the cheap pvc air hose included, i guess this is true with all pvc produces... it maintains its rigitity & it maye be tough going around corners, causing the user to tug it along. Also it doesn't wind as well as rubber hoses, I'm sure i'll be upgrading the hose once it shows its age.
The whole kit is probably 50 lbs total & take a very small footprint when organize.
So far the whole kit is fantastic for the price i paid, about $270 after taxes. It's on par with more expensive kits & it give you alot for the money, including an impressive 7 yr warranty on the guns.
I've laid down about 1500 square ft of hardwood between this bostich & a porter cable combo that i borrowed off a friend. nailed in 150 ft of molding & fixed all sort of problems through out my home. I'd recommend this kit to anyone over the CP3 kit for anyone looking for a dependable nailer/compressor combo. CP3 kit has the inferior compr essor
