Bostitch air compressors is also in the business of hand tools. Why sell air compressors?
I believe that Bostitch focuses on the hand tool business, including a broad range of air tools, and they offer Bostitch air compressors to augment the sale of air tools. If you are in the market for an air tool and need an air compressor to run it, why not get a compressor from the same brand? Makes a one stop stop if you have issues with either the air tools or the compressor.
Ever wonder about how the name Bostitch came about? How about the Boston Wire Stitcher Company. Over the years the name was contracted to Bostitch.
The thing is Bostitch, like so many other brands of air compressors, are not made by Bostitch. They are private-labeled for them with the Bostitch markings, and sold through the Bostitch outlets.
That they don’t make them makes the supply of spare parts, and the knowledge to specify what spare part is needed, as suspect. The Bostitch air compressors are sold through all the big box stores North America wide. Ever seen any spare parts for the Bostitch compressor pump or electric motor at any of these outlets? Not likely.
Lots of used Bostitch air compressors can be found on all on-line auction sites.

Bostitch pancake compressor just started this. Comes up to pressure then releases air somewhere then the compressor cycles back on.
Can you help
Have a Bostitch6 gal pancake compressor when you plug it in to receptacle nothing happens. Is there a reset switch or a fuse that would keep pump from running
My neighbor gave me his old Stanley Bostitch “The Builders Series” compressor. I cannot find any model # markings anywhere. With some internet digging I believe it is a CWW150 model. I got the 1.5hp electric motor running and am now working on the pump. Again, the pump has no info anywhere on it. I am concerned because it needs an air intake filter and I have no idea which one to get. I have… Read more »
My bostitch pancake compressor would not shut off at 150 psi as it should and blows the safety valve. I replaced the pressure switch and it continued to do the same thing. The cutout /cut in is 150/120. I tested the new switch and it would not open at 150 psi.(it states on the switch the cutout is 150). I felt i had a defective switch and got a new one. Same thing. The compressor… Read more »
I have a Bostitch 6gal air tank when it gets to 150psi it releases the air down to a 100psi and keeps running what do I do to fix it?
I have Bostitch 150 psi 6 gallon oil less air compressor. When I turn on the compressor the tank fills and the regulator registers the air pressure. When I connect the tool I want to use to the discharge connector directly and pull the trigger air will come out of the tool itself. When I connect the tool to the end of the air hose and pull the trigger you can hear the air die… Read more »
I have a new bostich compressor that keeps running, the out psi is stops at 90 and the other about 80 but keeps running and neither gauge goes up?
The image shows a Bostitch Textor twin cylinder air compressor model HHG-12.
I have one of these and would like to know firstly about lubrication of the compressor and where to get more information so I can restore and maintain it properly. `
I have a Bostitch Model CAP60PB-OF COMPRESSOR THAT stopped sending air to the hose. It shows pressure in the tank but I need to push very hard on the regulator cap to get it to pass air thru to the hose. The locking ring threads are ok but should the exterior cap also have threads that allow it to turn in to reduce the pressure and engage the diaphragm? I need to press the cap… Read more »
I have a bostitch cap1580wb that is giving me a headache. The initial problem was that air would continue to drain from the unload valve while the pressure switch was set to auto. It would not stop releasing pressure. Then when the pressure got low enough the motor would try to start again but then fail and trip a breaker. I have replaced the pressure switch but have now found a new problem. The replacement… Read more »
