Air Compressors

Air compressors power pneumatic tools and inflate tyres.  Portable models suit DIYers and tradespeople, while larger stationary compressors serve workshops with multiple air outlets.  Oil‑free compressors require less maintenance, and twin‑tank designs deliver smoother airflow.

What are air compressors used for in a workshop?
Air compressors power a wide range of pneumatic tools, from spray guns and nailers to impact wrenches and air blow guns. They’re also used for inflating tyres, cleaning, and even operating certain woodworking machines.

How do I choose the right size air compressor?
Consider tank capacity (smaller portable units for light, intermittent use; larger tanks for continuous operation), airflow (CFM) to match your tools, and pressure (PSI) requirements. Always ensure the compressor can deliver enough air for the most demanding tool you plan to use.

What maintenance does an air compressor require?
Drain the tank regularly to prevent moisture buildup, check and change filters, and for oil-lubricated models, monitor oil levels and replace oil as recommended. Keeping hoses and fittings in good condition also ensures safe, efficient performance.
