Air Compressor Advice

[mopardave]

I want to buy a compressor that I can use for tyre inflation and for use with a dust gun attachment. I'm don't need one for spraying cars etc so it's just a decent quality small compressor I'm after. Any thoughts or advice?
Best to all on this marvellous forum!

Keep your eye on Lidl and Aldi. I've got a power craft one. It's only 25 litres but does the business. It's been used for air tools, spray painting, you name it. Around 10 years old now and still going strong. It cost me £69 at the time. They sell them every year atleast once.

Second the Aldi one. I got one in 2007, and I’ve used it for spraying, nail guns, impact wrench, air ratchet, sand blasting and tyres! It’s was about £70, and branded “Power Craft” but IIRC made by Wolf.

I've got a hawk upright compressor HAWK TOOLS 50l 50 LITRE UPRIGHT VERTICAL GARAGE WORKSHOP 8 BAR AIR COMPRESSOR | eBay its cheap, but does the job. The flow rate of the built in regulator is terrible, I've bypassed it and fitted my own. now my tools actually work! ha
Also being on wheels its really convenient to wheel out the garage to pump the tyres up
