OK, I've had to buy a compressor for farm use, so I now have a dinky
But it sits there tempting me with the promise of other uses, nailing is an obvious one and I suspect an air file could be handy.
What recommendations does anyone have for "must have" air tools?
Impact gun if you do any work on cars or agricultural machines.
Impact wrench - just for the noise it makes.
drive
nailing is
OK the ones I've found most useful:
a/ Blow gun - always hanging on the tank ready b/ Small abrasive cut off disk thingy (intended for car bodywork) c/ Pad sander d/ Descaling needle gun (excellent for cleaning slag off welds) e/ Tyre inflator f/ Pop rivet gun g/ Spray gun h/ Nibbler for sheet metal i/ Sand blast cabinet
(not in usefulness order !!)
AWEM
Blow gun is a simple and very useful one (and with a conical nose on it works well on paddling pools etc).
Impact wrench can be handy. An air chisel is a wondrous thing if you like taking stuff apart! Tyre inflater is another obvious one.
'Nibbler' for cutting sheet metal. Hacksaw, ditto.
Definitely one of those reciprocating thingymajigs because I've found I can get pruning blades for them.
Thanks, and to every one else so far.
