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?

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.
