Air compressors
Anyone know anything about these??
I'm looking at getting one for general mechanical uses and spray painting and in the future running a nail gun.
I've heard the ones you get from the car shops haven't got enough ooompf and to get the job done properly you need a decent sized unit.
Cheers

I bought a PUMA 17 cfm from Glenfords tools at Lawrence Drive Nerang
It was about $699 I think and $799 got me the regulator and a decent length of hose and fittings thrown in, I have been more than happy with it and
its big enough for most applications.
I Sprayed Herbie with it and run Die grinders and rattle guns etc.
No Problems.
62 Ragtop Herbie with a little extra oomph.
