That air compressor has a good air output (9.5CFM) but a small tank so a reasonable hobby unit at an excellent price....

Looks same as mine, only mine was less than £50...

Might get the air hammer if anyone thinks its any good....

Well it's cheap enough, and carry's a 3 year warranty.

I'm a bit puzzled by the compressor numbers. 1HP is 746watts, so 1.5Kw means only 2.01HP. Where do they get the 2.5HP from?. It looks very small to give that output. :-?

[Kevin Wood]

Can't argue with the physics. Something doesn't add up. 1.5kw will be the motor input power as well, so it will have under 2HP output due to inefficiencies in the motor.

Looks identical to mine physically, but badged different.  Mine is 2hp according to box...

[Marks DTM Calib]

Are they quoting Watts or VA.........or is it a typo....the air displacement sudgests 2-3Hp...

[Ken T]

It might be a typo for the HP. Still at 1.5KW it sounds quite good. I don't think you could buy an electric motor for £60!. Wonder what its like paint spraying?

I am tempted by the compresor as I have to respray my bumper and my spoiler

[sir moanalot]

looks like a couple of bargains to add to the tool collection, always worth keeping an eye out in aldis's.

[Big Rod]

Found out about these on Sunday.

I'll be going straight up there first thing on Thursday!!  8-)

Single panels would be fine....a whole side of a car would be pushing it as the reservoir is a bit small......you could always couple up an empty propane cylidner to use as an extra reservoir.....and you need an air filter for spraying.....

[Auto Addict]

Well, I think I'm going to buy them, if I only end up inflating tyres, and undoing wheel nuts with them.

[Markie]

i'm tempted

Good deal then .... :-/

Will they really remove very stubborn wheel bolds? I've broken two sockets removing the wifes...
