Very cheap compressor

    Compressor is over 20 years old and I'm concerned about its 'robustness' so have decided to keep it as a back up and have bought one of these
    http://www.clasohlson.com/uk/Cotech-24-Air-Compressor/Pr183427000
    The cfm/lmin is not that impressive at about 4.5cfm (121 l/min if you're into metric) so it won't keep your air tools running for long. I tend to use it for tyre inflation and the odd bit of painting (ATM wheels) so it'll do nicely and at £29.99 it's a bargain I reckon. It has a 2 year guarantee and even if it packs up in 3 months time, (as it did for one of the reviewers) I'll get my money back.
    The few tools I've had from Clas Ohlson has been OK so I've taken a gamble, bit like the stuff in Lidl & Aldi.

    Your old one will
    Be more robust than the new one, if the old one brakes, buy a new one, you can thank me for all the money I've saved you after :)

    They do a 50l for £69.99.
     
  5. I mean bigger than my current one. 24litre should be ok, I've ordered one.

    Link them together to increase capacity
     
  7. I got one of those from clas ohlson
    Now rigged to a 47kg propane (emptied). Takes ages to fill but loads of capacity after full
    Just make sure you put some oil in. Mine came with absolutely none in it

    Now comes the question.
    Which oil to use
