Still happy with my two (connected via the 2nd outlet that's direct to the tank).I have found the air drill very useful, more accurate that my
electric one..

Works better than most.. I have two compressors and the second hardly ever comes on.. The 4cfm tools are fine.. For the price the compressor is bigger
than ones at the same price from machine mart etc. (in fact I think SIP do the same one for around 200 notes)

Dan, can you detail your setup - i've thought about doing the same but a mate insists i need to get one way valves or else i'll blow the
pressure switches in both compressors.

Can't see why you would need any valves or anything, just connect directly. You aren't increasing the pressure in any way, just doubling
the storage capacity and max flow rate. The pressure in both tanks will always be equal and the pumps should both come on and off pretty much
together.

Do you think this would have enuff ummph to run an impact gun?

I have that compressor and impact gun from last year's deal.
The good news is that the impact driver will work, but expect the compressor to run after maybe 5 - 10 seconds of heavy use.

my dad used to have a small compressor and found it struggled with certain things (spraying air tools etc)
he got hold of an largish old gas bottle (free) and connected it in line. this gave much longer spray time or tool use

i used to run a pair together, it works fine and ups the fad nicely. If you were keen you could add a tank to store more.

MikeR.. Just conected the high preasure outlets together, they are connected directly to the tank before the regulator. Somthing the manual fails to
tell you. On the face of it you would think both are regulated untill you realise were both the preasure gauges are plumbed in..
Works well as both compressors have diffrent settings of on/off preasure (tolerance I guess) so only two come on when using large mounts of air, most
of the time only one comes on.. With the amount of stored air (48ltr) I can drill 2 or three holes on the chassis without the compressor(s)
starting..
The only thing to watch out for is that becuase you use a male quick coupler on both ends of the hose connected them you can empty the tank directly
if you remove one by acident. Not nice dont fancy hose wiping about with 100psi air coming out the end.. To stop me doing this durring a laps of
concentration (happens to offten!) a cablet tie around the coupler stops them being undone.
I also have an oil speperator in the outlet side, else you will get oil vapour/water in the hoses etc.
It works for me, have had no problem with lack of air using the aldi tools (drill and ratchet). Not tryed spraying yet..
Just remember two makes more noise than one!
Cheers
Dan

I thought that was the thing that you were supposed to avoid, i.e. two 2.5 HP motors kicking in together due to the high start up current drawn.
I have a 3HP belt drive compressor with a 200 litre tank, the pressure switch has a removable cover where you can adjust the pressure at which it
switches on. If i were running 2 in tandem i would ensure that they do not kick in at the same time. As Bluemoon suggests if they happen to do this as
supplied then that's fine.
ps I intend to get one myself as my compressor takes a loooonnnnngggg time to fill that big receiver and a small one will be great for little jobs.

No problem about coming on at the same time.. It's not really an issue as they don't, if you think about it it's nearly impossible
unless the switch is set to exactly the same pressure...

extension, drill, die grinder, ratchet, impact gun, cut off saw, oil for everything all for £192 - BARGAIN - thanks guys , can't wait to set
it all up and have a play ....
