Bostitch Information
The original name of the company was the Boston Wire Stitcher company. The “bos” in Bostitch comes from the word Boston and the “stitch” comes from the stitcher part of the name.
They’ve been in business since 1896 going through various iterations and name changes. They do not appear to have been involved with air compressors, which are necessary to run their lines of air staplers and air nailers and other air tools, until 2001 when Bostitich began introducing their line of air compressors as accessories for their tool line.
Bostitch air compressors is part of the Global Stanley Tools empire, and are supplied to customers via big box store and other distribution outlets throughout the world.

I have an older Bostitch cwc150 air compressor that needs a pressure switch but the original part is obsolete, ive spent several hours online trying to figure out what other pressure switch is compatible with my compressor but I cant seem to figure it out. The label on my pressure switch is all tore up and I can not read the writing on it to figure out the manufacturer, would anyone have any idea what pressure switch would be compatible with my compressor? Ill attach pics of my pressure switch. Thanks so much.
If you know the cut-in and cut-out pressures (probably 120 and 150 or so, respectively, or maybe lower – don’t know without machine model number) then you should have all the info you need after reading this:
