Air comressor and tools

[stormforce]

Hi all.I am looking for a compressor and air tools.Does anyone know of a reasonably priced one with all tools that i can buy.TIA

Rich if your in the market get at least a 100ltr tank. If your going to paint I would go for 150ltr min mate.
Sealy run fairly quiet. A couple of hundred should buy you a good second hand unit.

Cheers mate.I am basically after one purely for mechanical work and maybe just a bit of touching up work aswell.Mandy is after something to get for my birthday next week and as i want to start up on my own then its time i bought a compressor etc

Makro have a set of air tools for £15.00 at the moment not sure what they are like

I always use Machine Mart they have good quality at reasonable prices. Theres also Sealy, but as mentioned its best to spend a bit more on the compresser the more cfm's the bigger air tools you can use and for longer.

Unless you're out on site, there's no need to go for cordless tools. Air tools are reliable and sturdy, and don't need recharge periods. If you're working near a mains supply, going cordless only would be excess cost for no good reason. Each has its use and its place.

yes but its so easy to pick up a wrench no lead or airline or if your out on the road ,without cordless my workshop used to end up a mass of extension leads and an airline that used to trip me up ,the future is cordless, look at your mobile

This is what i have bought with all hoses and tools.I know its a 50l but its basically all i can afford to get at the moment.It's a sealey so it should be ok.I could of got a cheaper make but i didn't want to chance them as they were so cheap.
The one i got is £165 and with the sealey tools etc aswell it came out at £235 delivered and i'll have it tomorrow.

That looks the same size as mine. It's alright for most jobs, but you have to wait every now and then for it to replenish it's air. Will tighten all the nuts on one wheel before the motor cuts in.

I'd been wondering why the lights had stopped dimming lately.
