Small Compressors
Hi All,
I'm looking at buying a small air compressor for the workshop for cleaning saws, pumping tyres up etc. Does anyone have any suggestions on make, model, size? Any help/advice is appreciated. Cheers Laurence

Re: Small Compressors
Keep an eye out in Lidl/Aldi for one, their prices are very competitive and it's the only place you'll get a free three year warranty. go to their website and sign up for the weekly newsletter, gives you all the special buys

Re: Small Compressors
Don't particularly want a 12v compressor, would be easier to get a mains powered one and can't wait for Lidl/Aldi to have one......I could be waiting for months.
Anyone got any other ideas on where to buy one and what sort of money I should be spending?

Re: Small Compressors
Try Costco/Makro if there is one near you.
