Sealy one should be OK but don't bother with the coily hose. It won't flow enough air, go and get a 10mm rubber hose. You are also best to get a load of quick connects, this sort of stuff soon blows your budget!

Yeh the sealey one would be fine for that but would struggle with some sparay guns and things like Media blasting cabinets.

buy 1 sell it on, buy another sell it on again.

Then your budget is 200 buy a last one and hose and the necc assoires

Get an electric drill and sander, you'll use less electricity and make less noise. You tools won't freeze up in winter either I have a 3hp v twin and spray using a gravity feed gun quite effectively but I only use it for that and blowing tyres up nowadays.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I,ve got one like the top one, was nearer £99 from memory.

Its okay.... nothing special but will run airguns okay and keeps up with spaying just.

Not any good for blasting.

If I was to spend again I would look for a big one second hand off ebay.
