small air compressor?

[chris hennelly]

does anyone know of a small air compressor or heavy duty tyre inflator,run from 12v socket in car,on site to clean saws.....................?

Not possible, sorry. You'd have to fit a tank at a minimum.

I use a stiff plastic bristled brush and a combi spanner on site, save the compressed air cleaning for the workshop.

 

Alternatively have you looked at aerosols of compressed air?

You can get a petrol powered compressor or you could charge up a portable cylinder with a static compressor and use it to blow down till it runs out of pressure. An old Propane cylinder with a hole drilled in it and a Schrader valve fitted, caravan places use them to inflate tyres round the yard, commonly known as

. You can use a smaller tank than his but it will limit your air time. Edited June 10, 2014 by peatff

I use a little Ferm unit with no air tank - it is basically a 1.5hp electric motor cranking a small engine with a pressure relaease valve plugged in to the plug hole and an air gun attached to this!

 

A bit like this one - https://www.google.co.uk/shopping/product/3589325883985181493?q=Draper+air+compressor+1.5hp&hl=en-GB&gbv=2&oq=Draper+air+compressor+1.5hp&sa=X&ei=UF6XU5L5BOrW7QbC_oD4CA&ved=0CC4Q8wIwBQ

 

The good thing about it is that you just turn it on and bingo, 2-3 seconds later you have air - the bad thing is the air only lasts for a second or two but is generally enough to blast crud off saws, is effective and no service cost:thumbup:

 

It is only of use with an air gun and for inflating tyres - you cant run tools off it or spray guns, sand blasters etc!
