Now that would be nice....

Thing is, to use an air gun, it needs a more powerful compressor than the cheap £50 ones :(

Will say AA my dad has one and they are v/good m8 :y

I got one of these from Aldi for £17.99. Wasn't expecting anything great, to my surprise it's been brilliant, once I'd worked out how to use it properly :y

Don't have one, but might have to have one now, just in case. :y

It doesn't if you use it in short bursts i.e it would remove wheel nuts ok. You couldn't spray with it or operate die grinders etc which use loads of air continuously.
Most small compressors have a 50litre (ish) tank so do have some reserve but, they cant replenish it quickly and hence the above limitation.

I bought an identical 'woolies' branded one from....woolworths for £9.99
Didnt work though, so went back, it was faulty not rubbish, but they didnt have another one to swap it for.

got one. But generally I tend to use my 2 ft breaker bar instead to undo the wheel bolts as it doesn't need 12V. Plus you have to wait 5-10 seconds for the impact wrench to spin up between each impact. Handy to have though ...

Its not the size of the tank its how quick it refills it.
Most tools of this type run at about 4-5 cfm ( cubic feet/ min) therefore you need an air compressor runing about 9cfm to comfortably cope.
It might have a 1ltr tank but it could still run the tool effectively it just means the pump will be running more often
How do i know this? We were going to run the joinery shop tools on air rather than electric but the size and cost of compressor made it difficult to justify.
