    Hi Guys,

    I am looking for a good air compressor so i can use it for tyre inflation on the bikes and cars and to be able to use it to blow out water in parts of the fairing etc. I want one that is decent and will last for a while so I am looking for a really good one although I don't need to kill the bank.

    Any ideas are gratefully received.

    Cheers

    Clemster

    Do you mean a 240volt or 12volt compressor?

    240 mains, Gav. I have seen one on Machine Mart but not sure if it is any good.

    a cheapish 100 quid compressor would do fine for what your wanting to use it for and would last for years

    For the money the lidl/aldi compressors are a good buy 3yr warranty,but you need to try within the 30days and keep the receipt for 3 years....

    As already mentioned Machine Mart have a fairly decent range of compressors.

    That will be fine for your tyre inflation and as a blow gun , will run some spray guns quite happily,avoid grinders,D/a sanders,impact guns,ratchets etc as it will be disappointing....and if you buy hoses go for the 3/8" or 10mm rubber hoses far better than the re-inforced clear ones,I know !....
