Title: Aldi Compressor - any good?
Post by: Martin_1962 on 30 March 2007, 21:43:08

Got an Aldi now and it is full of compressors, do I get one after filling up with gas?

What kind of compressors?  If it's for tyres then I'd say the gauge would be naff and if its for anything else I dunno  :P

There was a recent thread about them, on the face of it they look OK, except the numbers for HP and KW don't add up. There is also quite a large CFM apparently, which looks very good for a compressor of that size. The tank looks a bit small. One thing about small tanks is if you are spraying, there might be  tendancy for the air to pulse, and the new HVLP spray guns need a lot of air flow. I compromised, and got a small Clarke compressor for small jobs like spraying the fence etc, and a 2nd hand Hydrovane for spraying cars. Trouble is I don't have a large enough garage to get the car in. ;D

For £60 I think it's value for money, I've used mine quite a lot since I've had it.

The tyre pressure gauge on mine is accurate.

I also bought the impact wrench to go with it £18.
