“Essential kit for workshop owners with aging Porter Cable or Craftsman compressors; delivers reliable performance at half replacement costs.”
Our Review
This Braveboy regulator repair kit addresses a genuine pain point for Porter Cable, Craftsman, and DeWalt compressor owners—the D55155, D55167, and D55684 units fail at the regulator seal far too often. The kit includes all necessary gaskets, diaphragm seals, and O-rings in quality rubber compounds that resist oil degradation better than OEM replacements I've installed. Installation takes roughly 15 minutes with basic wrenches; the included components fit precisely without forcing. However, I noticed the pressure gauge replacement isn't included separately, which limits versatility if your gauge is faulty. At this price point versus full $120+ regulator assemblies, it's solid value for preventative maintenance or mid-life repair.
What We Like
- Complete gasket and seal set eliminates partial rebuilds and repeat failures
- Compatible across three major brands using same regulator platform
- High-quality rubber compounds resist oil saturation better than factory seals
Watch Out For
- Pressure gauge not included despite being common failure point on these models
- No detailed torque specifications provided—guessing costs extra downtime
The Verdict
“Essential kit for workshop owners with aging Porter Cable or Craftsman compressors; delivers reliable performance at half replacement costs.”
