Air Compressors

[Clemster]

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

Do you mean a 240volt or 12volt compressor?

[Clemster]

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

[Brizzer]

this would do you fine and prob last forever with the lite duties you will be using it for http://www.sgs-engineering.com/air-compressors/50-litre-high-flow-air-compressor

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....

Aldi compressors also 9.5cfm and 2.5hp for £90 (normally)...may have to wait a while though

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

Thanks Guys,

Just bought the one on Machine Mart due to the comments that you have posted.

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 !....

It's a good choice. I bought the 3hp version with a 50litre tank and I have done everything thing with it, run all sorts of air tools, spray guns and even inflated a few tyres! Never a days trouble and I've just realised I have had it for 25years!
