Choosing an air compressor

Choosing an air compressor can seem like a daunting task, but with some basic information, you can make an informed choice. Here are some points to consider:

Type of compressor:
Portable compressors: Ideal for those who need to move around and activate the compressor at any time.
They are lightweight and versatile.
Single-cylinder or twin-cylinder compressors: Twin-cylinder compressors offer greater power and durability, but are bulkier.
Functionality:
Inflate and deflate: Use the compressor gun to inflate road tires, inflatable boats, balls and mattresses.
Paint: Replace the gun with an airbrush to paint models or walls.
Sandblast: To sandblast, choose powerful compressors.
Clean and sand: Use a blow gun to clean tools or connect the compressor to a sander.
Oiled or Dry:
Oil-lubricated compressors tend to last longer and are quieter.
Dry-lubricated compressors are easier to operate but require careful maintenance.
Space and Tank Capacity:
Consider how much space you have to store the compressor.
Tank capacity affects the amount of air stored.
