Air Compressors For Sale

Archive for the ‘Home Use’ Category

Most air compressors for home use are single stage units, either running off mains electricity, 12v batteries or with a low horsepower gasoline engine. These units are best used for basic tasks like running air tools to use when servicing the family car or a spray gun to paint the garage. When it comes to tasks that require more continuous operation and higher CFM (cubic fee per minute) delivery at higher psi (pounds per square inch) of pressure, you need to move upmarket to the industrial units.

For home operations you will find that oil-less units are simpler, cheaper and adequate for the jobs around the house and yard. There are a wide range of air tools to choose from nowadays and they can be bought very cheaply from Wal-Mart, Sears and other chain outlets.

A quiet (even silent), small and portable air compressor around the house can be a handy item to have in time of need. Some scuba divers keep their own compressor for filling their tanks so they are assured of the air quality.
