kinda OT: air compressors 700

posted by  someone claiming to be Skip on  Wed Mar 26 06:51 CST 2003 [RELATED]

It all depends on what you want to do. Almost any compressor can develop enough air pressure to provide all the torque you need for short bursts. Some air tools require a greater volume of air and would benefit from a bigger tank; grinders and sanders come to mind. If you just need to change a wheel once in a while or loosen a strut nut every few years, 2-3 hp will be fine. If you want to do some body work or major under car stuff, look at a 6 hp upright tank unit and consider installing a 3/4" pipe distribution system in your garage and be the envy of the neighborhod. Another consideration is that the smaller units will run on 110V and the larger ones require 220.
