Air Compressor

Air Compressors - One Size Does not Fit All

Air compressors are used around our homes, workplaces and in our factories and manufacturing companies for many decades. Air compressors allows us to get a job done in a safe, clean and efficient. They are reliable, convenient and in many applications, indispensable.

There are many types of air compressors ranging in type and function that are used for simple tasks at home all the way to those used in more industrial applications where the work just does not get done without it. If you've ever tried to blow up one of air mattresses (You know, the type is set when his long lost uncle comes to visit) without some kind of air compressor that you know what a monumental task that can be. With just a simple battery power model saves tons of effort and time. These air compressors are simple and ideal for filling small toys, sports, and other things that do not require much pressure. Not only that, air compressors are also ideal for the operation of air as small tools staplers and nailers.

If you have a big job to do then you have to consider that an air compressor to use. Summer last I had the absolute pleasure of operating a power washer to clean than twenty years of dirt from a brick facade of a house. What a kick! I could not believe how powerful air compressors can be. The guy at the rental counter told me to be careful with it so I did not do any harm. Chico was right. If I stopped to time in the brick that will literally blast away. Without the power of compressed air behind the water just spraying water from a nozzle, not made nearly as much progress as I did, or had nearly as much fun!

If you like woodworking, auto-body work, or other hobbies or tasks where you have the option of using air tools, then you need something that can move the right amount of air. Since the air compressors vary depending on how much air flow they produce, you have to choose one that will do the job. Let's face it, one just did not sandblast will operate properly with a small battery powered model. Most power tools require 90 PSI to work properly. The main thing to look for the when considering the air compressors is to get one that has plenty of airflow to the tool and the job at hand. The air flow measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). If your application needs more power, then you need more cfm. Pretty simple stuff. But you ask, "How do I know?

An air tool will give you the necessary or suggested cfm you need. Overall, air compressors for small tools such as nailers need to move 1.4 cubic feet per minute, while tools like guns or impact wrenches are 2-5 cubic feet per minute. Sandblasting and sanding will be required 6-13 cubic feet per minute. Obviously, professional grade tools may require more cfm.
