Air tools?

Just picked up a bargain of a compressor at the weekend. 150ltr, twin cylinder, 3hp single phase SIP workplace jobbie for just over a ton.

Problem is i now need some air tools!

I will probably buy good second hand ones from ebay rather than new cheapy nasty ones.

Can any one recommend which are the best makes of this sort of kit to look out for?

Cheers,

Doug.

Devilbiss for painting and Ingersol Rand for tools.

Got the same machine myself (though I paid £200!) very good!! Mine's installed in the roof of the garage now, took some lifting up there!!!





Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion retro car restoration and tuning

I bet it did!!!

We had trouble lifting it into the back of my fiesta (the wife had taken the truck).

It looked very funny. My passenger was pressed against the windscreen and the boot was lashed down over the other end of the compressor with some old rope.
