Can anyone recommend a cheap air compressor? For use with an impact wrench, orbital sander and some light panel spraying.
Thanks

Re: Air Compressor
So would a 50ltr be ok, not having used a compressor for spraying before (wanting to learn) how long would a 50ltr tank last before it needs to recharge?

This is what I have and is plenty powerful enough to run my snap on air gun at full tilt for around 20-30 seconds before it re charges. It will hold recharge pressure at around 6 bar. Real good compressor IMO
