The item

This compressor would be a great addition to the workshop. They are great for a whole range of tasks:

  • Spray painting : note, needs oil filter
  • Pumping up tires
  • Quickly cleaning swarf from tools (wear eye protection)
  • Surprising Tom Scott on his way out of the toilet
  • Attaching tools like shears, wrenches, nailers etc : note, needs oil added to air
  • Cleaning dust from inside electronics (wear eye protection)
  • Cleaning crap from lasercutter cooling tubes
  • Attach a pressure vessel and you have a cannon!

With the built in chamber it can provide a greater, consistent and variable supply of compressed air over a "put put" style of compressor currently found in the space.
