Air Compressor Advice

[mike-s]

I have a feeling the regulator on my little baby has a moisture capture gizmo on it. I know it has the regulator and some other stuff im not sure of.

those seats are awesome huh? the ones with the drawer are very handy ie split links , cotter pins , rags etc......

I found it great for my keys and mobile, that way I can remember where I put them and don't have to get up if the phone rings... on sale at $33... bargain:D

Great set up ! Bet you just sit on the seat (bargain !) and stare at that sweet 9

If you are going to spraypaint something , try waiting till the air humidity is very low , makes a big difference . Dont forget to grain the air receiver / tank every now an then . And those little compressors tend to "walk " around a fair bit so dont let them get too close to anything that might get damaged from the vibration , like the car door or belly pan on a sweet 9 .

Nah mate I can't paint anything more than a house cause you can use a brush for that. My uncle once painted a car with a brush and house paint and that looked shit so I never tried.

I know about draining the tank...used to work for Goodyear and we did that every day there. It's amazing how ofter I need to visit the shed to check/get something. Sometimes think about cleaning up but yeah often take the cover of Beastie and sigh.

Can anyone give me some advice on what compressor to buy for general shed duties - pumping up bike & car tyres mostly. Have a little 12V one but have to get car out of garage to use and it takes ages to add 5psi.

fwiw...there is a very good article on compressors, accessories and air tools in the latest Street Machine mag (blue capri on front)
yeah I know..its a car mag but read it, borrow it or whatever..those 6 pages are quite good
