what are you wanting to use it for ? general use as in blowing up tyres, light spraying. or something else ?

Really for working on the cars removing the wheels using an air gun and ratchet

 

We used to have a bloody great garage @ work with ramps ,air compressor etc but we have made it into new offices :headvswal

 

So i thought about what i need to do to my car the other day and remembered how effortless most things were with a compressor! :tongue:

my company sells a range of sealey compressors,if you pm me your address i will send you a catalogue in the post.

problem with using the majority of airtools, is the smaller end compressors are forever running out of steam, so always filling up. i would say you need one of the larger ones.

I believe alot of the 3hp ones have to be in a cooker point, whereas 2hp (like what i'v got) just plugs straight in the wall. TBH i spray and use air tools and the one i got is fantastic, never let me down. The only thing that has gone wrong was the air regulator, which is easily replaced anyway. :) I got mine from machine mart. HTH ;)

Have a look here:

Get the 150 Litre one. Plugs straight into a normal mains socket :)
