Frequently Asked Questions - Air Compressors
What are the different types of air compressors available?
Our range of air compressors includes leading brands of belt-driven and direct-drive air compressors on the market. While a direct-drive air compressor can be more reliable, easier to use and cost-effective, a belt-driven air compressor is ideal for those who want to be able to adjust speed and power. Belt-driven air compressors can often operate quieter if properly maintained and lubricated.
What are some use cases for air compressors?
Air compressors are some of the most common tools used in a variety of applications, from construction and automotive uses to manufacturing and more. An air compressor can be used for a wide range of applications, including inflating tires, powering air ratchets, running air-powered saws, sanding projects, and more. Air compressors are indispensable tools in the world of industrial and domestic projects, providing reliable power for air tools.
A few common use cases include:
- Powering nail guns, staplers, sanders, drills, and other air tools.
- Automotive applications range from inflating tires to powering paint sprayers.
- Recreational activities may include inflating inflatable toys.
What is a good size compressor for home use?
For home use, a small portable air compressor with a tank size of 7 to 20 litres and a maximum pressure of around 120PSI is typically sufficient. The specific size will depend on the intended use and the type of tool you plan to run. Make sure to check your tool’s air requirements to find an air compressor size that meets those requirements.
What air compressor size do I need to spray paint?
While a smaller compressor may be sufficient for light-duty painting tasks. For heavy-duty tasks or professional use, consider a compressor with a larger tank size, higher pressure, and a higher flow rate.
What air compressor size do I need for an air impact wrench?
An air impact wrench requires a high flow rate and a high-pressure compressor to effectively loosen bolts.
What air compressor size do I need for sandblasting?
Sandblasting requires a large flow rate compressor to effectively power the sandblaster. Bigger sandblasting tasks may require a larger compressor.
Is buying an air compressor worth it?
An air compressor can be an especially valuable investment if you frequently use pneumatic tools, need to inflate tires or use it for other tasks that require compressed air. If you plan to only use your air compressor occasionally or for basic tasks, a portable air compressor can be a more cost-effective solution.

A few examples of essential air compressor accessories include:
- Air hoses to connect your compressor to your tools tool.
