Palmgren 92101 HipShot 12-Volt Ni-Cad Tankless Cordless Shoulder Strap Compressor

The innovative HipShot Portable Compressor from Palmgen is the most portable battery powered compressor for pneumatic nailers and staplers. At just 6.6 pounds, this handy tool can be worn around the waist or over the shoulder for hands-free operation. It is perfect for inaccessible locations, finishing up projects, or completing many small items on a punch list.

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.
