Doesn't look a bad deal at all, might pop in and spend some money.

Its basically the same one I have in my garage. Gets a bit athsmatic if you try to use the air ratchet or hammer but does 90% of the general jobs you ask it to do.
I like the look of the sandblaster attachment. Could be just the job for the rusty door tops..... ;)

I managed to sneak one home without Sue noticing - until she saw the statement - "I bought some tools"
She knows I have a compressor - paid for itself in Dyson repairs

Thanks Martin, has anyone else got any good excuses for buying one of these???
I think I will have my work cut out persuading Mrs GB that this is an essential piece of workshop equipment. ::)

Makes dusting a piece of piddle so she can use it too. ;D

Hmmm, Cap'n I'm not very domesticated but wouldn't the dust just settle again in the same place as it was blown from? If she's going to dust things I want it done properly you know. ::)

Dyson cyclones - they clog up inside and you cannot dismantle them, Dysin say buy a new cyclone, compressor owners just blast all the crud out with compressed air and then they are as good as new.
Also used mine to spray waxoyl into the car panels

;D ;D ;D
Mrs Golfbuddy just called me from Aldi. 'Do you want the air impact wrench, 15m hose reel, and the Air Filter/Regulator and Lubricator as well?' she asks.
'Well, go on then, if you insist.' was my obvious reply.
So, lots of toys to play with tonight. :y

Perfect excuse... inflating the bloody great inflatable swimming/paddling pool she bought that's so big, an olympic committee gave it some serious thought as an emergency replacement ;)
the thing takes 8 hours to fill more than half way upwith water... ... I left it filling over night a couple of years ago, came down in the morning, it still hadn't overflowed... My little 12V emergency tyre compressor takes ages to inflate it...
all we need then, is an actual summer this year !

Got mine this evening, also a pnuematic recipriocating saw and a 3/8" drill.
so i'm set :)

I'm home and dry on this one. Mrs GB had a flat tyre. Quick pump with the new compressor and all was well.
Another thing to collect dust in the corner of the garage for the next six months. ::) ::) ::)
