Air Compressor

Air compressors serve different jobs, from tire inflation to powering approved pneumatic equipment. Compare the tank capacity, motor rating, maximum operating pressure, actual delivered airflow and whether the model is oil-free or requires lubrication. A small portable inflator and a workshop tank compressor have different duty cycles and capabilities.

Before choosing a compressor, check the air requirement of your spray gun, impact wrench or other connected tool at its working pressure. Allow for hose and fitting compatibility, drainage and safe installation. Never exceed the pressure ratings of the receiver, hose or tool, and follow the manufacturer’s tank inspection and servicing instructions.
