What compressor to choose? Choosing a compressor for the car, for the home and for painting

The proliferation of pneumatic tools has led to the appearance of a huge number of models of air compressors on the market.

Some of them are designed for domestic use, while others are designed specifically for continuous operation in harsh conditions.

The first step in selecting a compressor is to study the types and specifications of the unit.

It is important to understand that there is no “one size fits all” equipment. Some models are suitable only for pumping tires of cars, while others are able to power pneumatic tools, while buying more powerful options for occasional home use makes no sense.

Before you choose a “suitable” equipment, it is important to determine for what tasks it should be suitable.
