Compressor

[Guest erichetherington]

Not quite as good a deal as they were a few years ago, when they threw in some tools, but mine as served me well for several years:

If only I had the space to store one of these I would get one

Don't waste your time going for one they have been withdrawn from sale, don't know why.

Are any of the air tools any good?

[Guest Ian & Carole]

I got a full set of the air tools about 5 years ago and with the exception of the air wrench which lacks a bit of grunt they have all been very good.

if you do decide to go for it don't hang around 'cause they soon sell out.

Will pop in tonight. I have a compressor already just after few bits to use with it.

I've used a few of the tools, they are as good as my Clark ones but a sight cheaper.

I got the shot blast gun today but not tried it yet

[sj-bradley]

The ALDI shot blast gun ?

 

I bought one of those and discovered I really needed either a VERY large capacity compressor reservoir or one with a higher cfm than I originally had.

 

However, I found I could blast a little at a time, wait for the compressor to refill the reservoir and do another bit.

 

Drawback is you really need to do this out of any wind (I used a green house and tarpaulin to catch the spill and reload the gun - rather more often than I thought )

 

It eventually did the job (shot blast my gearbox outer) Make SURE that you cover any possible ingress holes though and NOT with just masking tape.

 

You also will need eye protection and gloves.

 

Other big drawback ...

 

You should have seen the tide mark in the bath afterwards ... As well as Panda Eyes ...
