Yeh saw this does anyone know if it would be big enough to power an impact driver??? Got to change the leaf springs on the Landy and might make life a bit easier.....Cheers Oli.

Well this http://www.machinemart.co.uk/product.asp?p=000311070&r=2017&g=103
says 6.2 bar and 4 cfm... so it should be well within spec.

But this bigboy http://www.machinemart.co.uk/product.asp?p=000311090&r=2017&g=103 is just out of spec at 7.5 cfm (3/4" sockets )

But better ask someone who has one before splashing the cash

I got one of the Screwfix ones about a year ago. Never tried it with air tool but feel it would probably be a little underpowered. Great for all other jos though. Having said that, I'd probably recommend going for a more powerful maching.as I'm already thinking of upgrading.

Which one? they have more than one size. Did it have the same spec?

If you find yourself upgrading let me know....might be interested in buying the old one off you....Cheers Oli.

Just tried to order one and both are unavailable typical as I have a £10 voucher. I just mounted my 150litre on rubber bushes and wheels and surprise surprise no longer fits in the land R!!

Of course it fits in a LandRover everything does if you push it hard enough

Transtools.co.uk have a good range and prices compare very well to the normal machine mart, screwfix etc.

http://www.transtools.co.uk/150004comp25ltr.htm

Prices are inc delivery. (over £35)

I'll be getting the 3HP 50 or 100L if I ever get one.

£110 for the 3HP 50L with dual outlets and gauges is great value imho.
