Compressor/Air tools worth it? 850 1996

buy one!

i have very small compressor .75hp & 10 ltr tank...

I dont have wrenches for it but do use it all the time for spraying/wash gun/underseal gun tyre inflation etc...

probably one of the most usefull power tools i own...

not got round to air wrenches yet...but who knows...

in all seriousness a small compressor thats easily moved is great...particualrly if you can find a GOOD tool supplier who can sell you good quality sprayguns etc that dont require high CFM's...they do exist!

if you might want to spray more than touch ups (or in my case motorbike bits) e.g. a car bonnet or wing i would suggest you would need a compressor capable of at least 7-9cfm and with at least a 25 ltr tank (those are minimums) also try and avoid the oil free variety, they ar cheap and work ok...but dont have the longevity of the oil filled models (also remember to change the oil!)

how am i equiped to talk on the subject...my brother sells them, tools paint and pannels to body shops...
