I work on boats repairing them. I use nail guns, caulking guns and spray guns. I use my system with a straight hose that they made for me so I dont have to wear it. I cant believe how easy and great it is. I can get on and off jobs faster because I dont have a compressor and hoses to setup or clean up. My clients are thrilled that Im using it because of the noise and the mess the old compressor always made. It never fails me and it hasnt run out of air before my job gets done. I cant believe that everyone doesnt have one yet. I love my system!

I tried out the system on a job caulking in a teak deck on a boat. It was fantastic! It was so easy to use, it was a no-brainer! I had total freedom to move around and it saved me a lot of time by not having to drag my compressor down to the docks. I get more jobs done in a day because its so quiet using a pneumatic caulking gun, that my clients don't even know that I have been to their boat and gone! Now I use my system for caulking, nail guns, spraying touch ups, anything. I love it. It has made my life so much easier! Thank You.

When I was first introduced to the product, I thought I would fall on my knees and start crying tears of relief. The ability to actually carry around a power source on your belt means no tangled hoses, total flexibility to move around at will on any job site, and no restrictions or limits as to where you can go with a nail gun or any other tool that requires air compression. A portable power source the size of a coffee thermos strapped to your tool belt was like a gift from the construction Gods! With its easy setup and effortless operation, the Turanair system has made me fall in love with construction all over again!

Super Selections: The MVP Award winners offer pros simpler installations, fewer callbacks, and happier clients.
By Stephanie Herzfeld
Â
Each year, BUILDING PRODUCTS' Most Valuable Product competition singles out an elite handful of new products worthy of special recognition. This year, 28 products, ranging from a solar-powered attic fan to a 28-volt lithium-ion cordless tool system and a corner whirlpool bath, have been deemed the cream of the crop. They offer ways to make your job easier, your work more efficient, and your businesses more profitable. And they might just add a little fun back into your work day.
The MVP winners were selected by a six-judge panel made up of builders, remodelers, and architects from across the country. The entries were collected as a result of BUILDING PRODUCTS' request to manufacturers for information about their best introductions between January 2004 and January 2005.
Unable to test each product, our judges scrutinized written statements, press materials, brochures, pricing information, testimonials, and photography submitted by the manufacturers. Specifically, our panel assessed each entry based on a single requirement: Is the product of "value" to pros, meaning does it reduce installation time, callbacks, or labor costs; solve a problem; simplify installation; boost profits; or add curb appeal or a "wow" factor to a home?
All claims about the winning products come from their makers; the editors could not independently verify the statements. What's more, the winners represent only a small portion of top-notch products. The judges made their selections based on items entered in the competition, not from all products that debuted between January 2004 and January 2005.
