I'm only 15 years old, and I'm currently in a trade school learning Modern Automotive Technology, and I wanted to setup my pneumatic tools in my garage. This video is insane, it shows you everything from simple 1 step no brainers to the technical aspects of compressors, tools, and what not. This is the only video out there on the entire topic of Pneumatic Tool Setup.
Good luck
awsome
God bless you! And the work of your hands! We are all proud of you engaging in Automotive Tech Career!
Functionally operates just as it should th-cam.com/users/postUgkxiiMg_x4gIWeXMWfBnDdRnME4qJUAva4w holds pressure perfectly when not in use. Glad one of the other reviews pointed out that the bottom pressure release valve was open; thought it was defective at first.
You're not
Thank you Leah! You empower this single 44 year old mom! Because of you, I’ve got a pretty decent workshop set up and even tiled my shower! I’m no longer afraid or think I can’t! ThankYOU!
Good for youYou’ll save yourself a lot of exposure money in time if you do house repairs like that yourself. Just always do safety stuff like shutting off the electricity you’ll be fine
Right on!!

Best explanation of air compressor usage out there. She deserves an award for this one. Two thumbs up.
Leah is an outstanding teacher, I have been using her tips and advice for years
Isn't she GREAT!
I use air tools daily and knew everything you stated but I watched your whole video because you were just that entertaining. Awesome video and you're a natural teacher! Cheers Jane!
thanks Gregg, I really appreciate it!
YTr
Leah, this was just amazing!
So many people needlessly OVERCOMPLICATE things, but you made this so simple, yet extremely informative.
Thank you!
I just bought an air compressor last year. The instructions were pretty vague, but I knew enough to set it up and to use it. What I didn't know and learned from this video, is that the tool will still be operational when the tank/compressor stops when reaching a certain PSI. I've always used it during and when it stopped, would wait, release air, and try again. lol I'm a total noob, but now I knew better. This will help with future projects as I'm not a particular fan of the noise and always wondered how people in videos were using their air compressor tools and you can't hear the air compressor running. I feel more like a pro now after watching this. I appreciate the use of the proper vernacular so as to also educate. Good stuff.
45 seconds in and I already LOVE THIS WOMAN!
You are slammin!'
I just found this lady! 🙀
I think this is the best instructional video I've seen yet on youtube- with your clear and thorough guidance, i finally busted my compressor out of its intimidating box and plan to put it to use at last! sincere thank yous, Leah
I'm a professor and had years of training on teaching techniques and approaches, and she is much better than not only me but most, if not all, other professors I know.
If I were her I would consider selling a product line. For example, a "kit" that sells all the fittings needed for an air compressor.
Honestly the best videos on this kind of stuff always comes from Leah
Best video on air tools anywhere
Miss Leah! Its 2019 and I still love your videos! One of the best teachers on youtube! :)
God bless you! :)
What a super nice comment for a great lady!
You are a fantastic teacher. One of the best tutorials. Thank you.
raredesign You're welcome, and thanks for the compliment!
I'm no idiot. But for the purposes of something like this I appreciated being treated like one. It helps, it really does. Thank you for taking the time to explain all this in 1 video. I'm confident my first use with my new compressor will go very well tomorrow.
What Jared Foster said. Leah, thank you!
Yeah I was going to express the same sentiment. I've used air tools and an air compressor before but I've never had my own compressor or tools before. I just bought my first air compressor and air tools (actually the same one she's using in the video) and I needed a detailed setup and overview. This video is exactly what I was looking for, thanks for making it Leah!
Jared Foster absolutely rude
Ditto
Jared Fos
Leah, thank you so much! A friend gave me a compressor with a brad nailer/stapler. I have chairs I'm reupholstering and wanted to use the air stapler but had no idea what I needed. I knew about different coupler sizes but had no idea of the connections and how to fit the hose. You've cleared up a lot for me. And I must tell you, I've gone to both Lowe's and Home Depot and while the clerks are helpful in directing me to the correct aisle, NO ONE has EVER taken the time to show me how to use the equipment. When I asked about purchasing a nailer, the clerk, on that occasion, pointed me to the aisle but then told me I'd have to buy all the other equipment (compressor, etc). Instead of sticking around, he just took off. He had no idea that he might have made a sale if he had just taken the time to actually show me the tools I needed and a quick demo on how to use them. I was so angry, I left the store (Home Depot in this case) and never went back for any of their tools! In the meantime, I've purchased tools as I need them. Your videos have made a world of difference for me!
I love your videos Leah. I've been watching them for years. You are exceptional about showing and explaining in easy to understand dialogue so that slow learners, such as myself, get a clear understanding. I bought my house in 2012. It was a definite fixer upper. I have lost count, a long time ago, of all of the projects that you have tutored me through. Thanks
Isn’t this a video explaining the air compressor, why I feel completely different from what you said
I used to hang out with my father and have him here to ask questions. Unfortunately, he has passed away and needless to say so many questions to ask and not having him around to answer. Thank you for giving someone like me a place to learn and have my questions answered by a teacher who cares and "pays it forward!"
Sorry for your loss. Glad to help.
As someone just getting started with air tools, this was hugely helpful. I really appreciate that you didn't take any understanding for granted and really walked through the whole process from top to bottom.
that's great, my intent was to take it step by step, so I'm glad you liked it!
I love seeing a woman who understands tools. It empowers all women to be self sufficient, and handy!
I know this is an older video, but still so relevant and useful. I am a 72 year old amateur woodworker who has been apprehensive (I don’t know why) of getting an air compressor. I watched this video last night, bought the compressor, and just now completed the break in and tryout. Your video made things so clear and I think I will really enjoy using my compressor. Thank You!
Bought our first portable air compressor yesterday, at Harbor Freight. We explicitly told them we knew nothing about the product's setup and asked the sales rep to show us everything we'd need to buy to get it running with an air hammer.
Result: They sold us the wrong hose size, and mentioned nothing about needing couplers and plugs. Grrrr.
So of course, (after losing 1/2 a day's work on our reno project) we turned to Leah to figure out what we needed. Thanks, Leah!
bought one last week and asked the guys if it comes with the main coupler and was told no i have to buy one separately only to find one in the packet of the castors. Most sales people don't know the products they selling. They are too lazy to learn about products they no nothing about.
Excellent video. One of the best. Thank you for demystifying the compressor for me. Manufacturers should take note: this is how you help customers feel comfortable with products.
thank you, Steve, that is what we were hoping to accomplish, so I appreciate your comments!
Leah....you're an absolute God-send to us mere mortals. It seems like every teacher out there is more concerned with showing us their endless level of knowledge, as opposed to helping people actually learn. And, make NO mistake....there is a HUGE difference between the two. Thank you for all you do, and knowing how incredibly important the "basics" are. As a music teacher I have a saying I tell my students. There is no such thing as "advanced", or "master" level of anything.....just people who have a complete/thorough understanding of the basics, and those who don't.
I searched the whole YT platform, but this video is the best of all! You are an angel! Thank you very much.
I'm on my daughters account and I gotta be honest. I learned so much basic info from this vid! Most guys I know have no clue about the industrial and automotive connectors and the universal couplings. Guys don't read instructions we just plug and play lol! I thought the different fitting were just branding! Thanks a bunch!
Awesome video!!! I learned so much watching this! Thank you!
Ed Diaz You're welcome, Ed, and thanks for commenting! :)
Imagine having her as your mom. Would be learning useful stuff all day.
I plan on buying one these today and I had know clue how to operate one so I came on here......
These is the first video o looked at.
And the last.
Thank you for such an informative video!!
Aloha Leah, I taught Art, Lost Wax Bronze Sculpture to be exact, for 15 years at a Southern California Community College, and I have to say, this tutorial was as concise, thorough, incredibly easy to understand and directly to the point as any professional teacher could have put together. EXCELLENT video!!!! MAHALO nui loa (Thank You Very Much)!!!
OMG, I am a nurse and inherited a 20 pound compressor and had no idea how to use it. Thanks to you, I was able to use it safely for the first time! Now I'm hooked! Have now repaired several things around my garage using the nailer. And can put air in my tires, at home! Will be subscribing to you! You are awesome!
Wanda Mays. Air in my tire in the freezing cold from the comfort of my garage!!! That alone is worth it!!!
Have fun!
Thank you Leah! This was great, you’re an excellent teacher. I already have a fairly large portable compressor and have used it for inflating tires and also using it with an air ratchet for various car and motorcycle projects. I had no idea about the need for a filter and the need to put a few drops of oil into the tool before using it. I’m going to get setup correctly thanks to you! Maybe even pick up an impact wrench and some sockets for when I get around to actually installing the lift kit I bought for my Jeep about a year ago! Thanks again!!!
Thank you very much, Leah. I just bought my first compressor for light home use, and I was feeling a little intimidated. Your wonderful tutorial was just what I needed to get started working with my new tool. You are a very reassuring teacher!
Great video! I just want to add that we need to drain the air out after done using the compressor. Thank you for putting your time and effort to make this tutorial.
Hey Leah, listening to your voice provide some sort of calmness you get when you're in a plane that could have crashed but was piloted to safety by a pilot that knows what he is doing. Very very good video, as a DIY person with a strong love for tools, even though i wanted the air compressor but couldn't afford one yet, I've learnt all i needed when i get one eventually. As an elderly woman that you are, i say a big thank you ma.
trigg How old do you think I am LOL.....my son is in elementary school......... thanks for commenting, Trigg and glad you enjoyed the video
Girl, you are my hero and go-to person for help with tools. Thank you for the work you put into these videos.
I so love to watch your instruction videos! You do such an awesome job and I feel so comfortable using my compressor now :) I was afraid prior so I haven’t been getting things done (blowing out sprinkler lines and water lines in my camper). Your videos are clear to hear and clear to watch. No annoying music, no poor photography, and you speak slowly and clearly. I just can’t say enough…….but I WILL say, please do a Tutorial for people making tutorials so they see how to do it right 👍
Thank you Leah! I love your channel! You've taught me so much. You always have a video available when I need some help!
I've been using my compressor for 10 years and learned a lot from your video, especially about the couplers and fittings. Thanks! Going to go and re-do a few things now. Btw, I found a push button type coupler that eliminates pulling the sleeve to insert the plug. Much easier and safer. About 6 bucks at Home Depot.
This is, hands-down, the best introductory video I have ever seen on this subject.
Thank you
You are the best teacher in TH-cam and thank for teaching me how to use a portable air compressor!!! Just bought a 6 gallon tank and now with the confidence you have given me to enjoy my NEW TOY!!😘
Again, thank you so much 👍🙏
2020 here and you're still helping people learn how to use air tools for the first time. Thank you!
Watched this video. Changed my career to woodworking with air tools.
From an old shop teacher. Very good job explaining this topic. Thumbs up!
Great job Leah!!!!! I am a Air Compressor PRO because of you thanks
Great Tutorial. I appreciate your patience..
thank you much! you're an amazing person for doing this tutorial.
Outstanding educator! Just bought my first air compressor which arrived today. 20 Gallon CH. This video is SUPER helpful!
Hi Leah,I recently purchased a Bostich pancake oil free air compressor and 18 gauge nail gun combo.You answered all my questions regarding maintenance of the tools.You are the only teacher who mentioned putting oil in the gun for maintenance and working purposes.
I subscribed.Thanks.
Thank you for de-mystifying this impressive tool. It has so many uses, it makes sense to own one. Great instructional video ☺
you're welcome, and thank you!
First time viewer, I just thought that Leah instantly had a positive, genuine attitude, that resonates to viewers. She comes off as very likeable, and knowledgeable about what she is talking about. Great host
I've hesitated about installing a compressor line setup. You've taken the mystery and fear out of it and made it doable. Before I do anything else in my woodshop that is on the top of my to-do list. Thank you, Leah!!
This is one of the greatest videos I have watched on TH-cam. Just what I needed. Thanks so much for the share.
You're welcome, Lee, and thanks so much for the compliment!! :)
Awesome video!!!! Please don't ever change your method of instruction. Bravo!!
I don’t even own a compressor but love learning from you Miss Leah. God bless you ma’am, and thank you for sharing so much with us.
Ma'am you are a GOD send!!!!!!!!!!!! There was no manual with these fittings and I have never used an air compressor. You saved me a ton of stress and grey hair to match.
What a great instructional video lesson. Thank you!
Awesome instructions, and step by step tutorial. Very helpful. Big thumbs up. Thank you.
Ary M You're welcome, Ary, and thanks for commenting! :)
Even though I've been working with tools for more than 40 years, I can always be assured that I will learn something new from your videos. I didn't even know that I didn't know this stuff. Keep the videos coming!
I look up a BUNCH of tutorials on TH-cam for various things and this is far and away the most useful video tutorial I have ever come across. I wish you could teach every tutorial I look up online haha amazing content!
wow! i learned a lot Lea thank you . Shopping around for a compressor but wanted to get some kind of knowledge and this video sure helped. thanks!
great video. very detailed on instruction. thanks!
i would love to see you make a video more in-depth on the compressor safety and maintenance side of things.
I knew most of the things in this video but I watched it anyway, and my level of confidence skyrocketed because of the way Leah guaranteed me that at the end of this video, I would be 100% comfortable in knowing that I could do it. Outstanding video!
thank you so much!
Thank you so much. This is my first venture into air tools. I was excited to buy my tools but once I had it all home, panic set in. After watching your video I felt I could do it. You have the teaching gift. Your voice is comforting and you don't ramble on about useless information. Bravo to your camera person as well. I can't wait to start and see more of your videos. Thank you and God bless.
hats off to you this is the most educational and informative video that I have ever seen great job I am looking forward too many more thank you so much
Thanks very much, John!
Fantastic video. I love your step by step instructions and tips. Thanks
reinell70 You're welcome, and thanks!
So much time has elapsed since I bought a compressor that I'm now 83 yet determined to learn how to use it. Thanks to you and your excellent video, I now have the courage to upholster those two chairs languishing in the garage. I hope you realize the service your videos are to those of us who want to do things on our own. You have made these so understandable, maybe that's the difference between the male and female brain. Some men assume we know what all those unfamiliar words mean, you've covered it all. Thank you dear lady, thanks so much. BTW, I'm a subscriber.
This is the most helpful introductory video I have ever found on air tools! Thank you to the moon and back for sharing!
I was very intimidated when I got the compressor, misc parts, and the nail gun. I couldn't find any instructions on how to put everything together. You made it so easy and I did it while pausing/rewinding the video. I had no idea I was missing the filter, so had to make a quick trip to the store. I'm ready to start my project with lots of confidence. Thank you so much!
thanks leah it was so helpful
Leah, 7 years after you made this tutorial, it still serves people like me, Thank you is not enough, still THANK YOU! The world needs teachers like you.
Leah, I can not thank you enough for this video. I'm hoping I get an air compressor for fathers day this year, and without watching this video I wouldn't have known the adapter pieces and filters didn't come with the compressor. also didn't know about adding the oil to the tools before use. Thank you so much Leah!!!
Hey Leah! Thanks for the video. See even old dogs such as myself can still learn. I have seen seasoned mechanics waive using Teflon tape simply because they felt it "too much effort" for a temporary setup. I've mentioned that "sealing the threads" from leaks is just one of many reasons that thread tape is important.
There's a natural covalent bond that occurs between two like and dissimilar metals. What that means; an electrical charge passes between the two materials upon contact which promotes corrosion, thread tape helps prevent this phenomena. (MIL-STD-186F)
Most importantly, it guards against "cross threading" or "galling" your threads (damage). I enjoyed your video so keep them coming.
***** Hello Leo, Well stated!!
you did a very good job on your instructions.I give you a 10,was very impressed.I thought I knew everything,but I was wrong.You did such a great job on this vedeo.
You are amazing! All your videos have the best instructions!
this lady sure knows her stuff and her ability to explain things is such that anyone can learn.she makes it look so easy.
This video is a godsend for a newbie! THANK YOU!
Hoang Nguyen You're welcome, Hoang, thanks for writing! :)
thank you so much for the walk through on this i have been useing these as long as i have been old enouph to run an air chuck and fill a tire and no one has ever been this thourough on the explanation of what it is and why its on there very well done.
william shedden You're welcome, William! Thanks for the compliment! :)
Thank you so much, Leah for this tutorial. I bought myself a compressor but had no clue how to make it work for me. Now I feel like a pro!
Thank you so much for leaving this online! This was a great video, especially for anyone who's a little anxious around these more powerful tools!
Best teacher on youtube PERIOD!
YOU EXPLAINED EVERYTHING 100 % YOUR VIDEO IS THE BEST [ HOW TO ] VIDEO IVE SEEN IN YEARS ! THANK YOU SO MUCH ! FANTASTIC JOB YOU HAVE DONE !
Eugene Gullish You're welcome, Eugene, and thank YOU for your kind comments!
Leah you are an absolute legend. Thank you so much for such clear explanation, couldn’t have wished for a better tutorial 🙏🏻
I am new to air compressor and tanks. I love listening to Leigh. She is the best!!!! I finally got all my fittings the way I want them. So I got my air compressor and my air tank just right for now. Maybe I will add all brass fittings later. Leigh always talk safety!!!
This video is awesome! I just got a Dewalt pancake compressor and I really needed a good explanation on the basics. Thanks so much!
Only use oil specifically labeled "air oil" or "air tool oil". Some of the oil used in air tools gets into the air you are breathing as a fine mist. Air oil is safe to breathe (castor oil I think), while other types of oil (e.g. engine oil) are mineral oil with additives which will be bad for your lungs.
Sorry if this is already covered, I just skimmed this video.
Thanks for clarifying the type of oil to use. It was a BIG help, especially health wise. Had that question on my mind while watching the video. Would have asked Leah or used a household oil. Big mistake ! Thanks again.
Thanks!
Good to know, thank you.
Problem .... in some places you just don't see oil marked as "air oil" so what do you use as a substitute ?
Was just going to ask what kind of oil to use.
Leah is a power tool princess! Thanks for the tips and increasing my confidence in firing up my new tools!
It seems like everytime I find myself stuck one of your videos pops up in my recommended on the exact subject that’s stumping me and you always explain it in the EXACT way I need to hear it. I can’t say thank you enough, you’ve helped me more than you could ever know :)
Thanks Leah I learned a few things from that video!
Excellent job lady
Leah, THANK YOU!
My car tires were low. I went to BJ'S to use their air compressor. Instead of putting air in, it came out. I went back the next week and it was still broken. I drove all the way out to WaWa. Their compressor was broken too. I went to Mavis Discount Tire Store and a nice worker inflated my tires.
I decided then and there I was buying an air compressor. I bought a Kobalt 6 pound pancake air compressor.
I thought everything came with the compressor. Silly me! I bought a 25' Craftsman's rubber hose and Kobalt connector set with a blow gun and air chuck.
Wasn't totally sure how to connect everything together until now. Your video was both educational and enjoyable, thank you for giving me the confidence to set up my air compressor and usd it.

Thanks! We got this machine into our shop and the person who was supposed to train us all was called out of town. I had no idea where to start.
Glad to be of help. One thing not mentioned in the video is the importance of opening the drain valve after use.
She is great. Thank you!!!
The diversity of your video topics is great. First you showed me how to texture a wall, now the basics of air compressors and fittings. Thanks so much!
Great video. Such a breath of fresh air to see such a detailed video minus the drawn out boring extra. GREAT JOB!
thank you very much and, I'm now 100% ready to do by my self it's Great video.
you're very welcome!
Have you guys seen her other videos? Literally a one stop DIY solution.
Thank you! I am new to these tools and want to tackle some home improvement projects. This tutorial really helped me understand how these tools work and how to stay safe while using them.
Leah Thank you! I have been through 4 other videos and you are the only one who walked through every step! Awesome!!!
God I love this woman's voice :)
Mustafa Jari Yeah :) Just sounds so friendly :)
