Bought a load of that stuff last time it was on offer and it has proved OK. :y

The filter/regulator is a bit pants, IMHO. Very effective at filling your garage with a finely atomised mist of light oil, but not much else. ;D

Having said that, it's probably almost worth having for the hoses that come with it.

Is a 2.5hp/24L compressor really big enough to run air tools (impact wrench etc)? It certainly seems a bit small for spraying, to me..

Then again it is cheap.

yes its a bit small, but should be able to cope (decent hose may be needed) as the specs of that compressor and tools do match.

ive had very little success with 'big' tools with my similar compressor, but should be ok for light use, with decent hose.

As Chester* has more Rolls Royce per capita I doubt many residents would know what a compressor was if it fell on their head!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

*it's actually Cheshire that has more RR per capita  ;) ...... but Chester suited my argument better  ;D

Damnit Jimbob, you cost me a fortune man! ;D

Just got back from my local Aldi (didn't even know I had one!) and managed to come away with:

Compressor
Regulator
Impact wrench
Reversible wrench
Air cut off tool
Air shears
Media blaster
And a low energy light worklamp


Well.. that's the new garage kitted out with air tools, I suppose!  :y

(For anyone wanting one from Bracknell - I think I bought the last one, sorry! Lots of the air tools left, though)
