Hi all, was thinking I could do with some air tools and saw that Lidl have got a compressor but with no accessories for £99, do you think is it worth it? https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/MiddleofLidl.htm?articleId=20205 Cheers Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
It would be fine for pumping tyres up, blowing dust off, small spay repairs etc. If you use a sander etc with it it wont keep up.
It's not bad for the price, 3.5cfm output is reasonable but won't keep up with most air tools for extended use. You will need to change the air hose to 8mm, the supplied plastic hose is too restrictive for air tools.
Thanks guys, I had intended on using it for sanding and body repair so if it’s not going to do and needing to get the extra hoses and stuff I think then I’ll pass. Appreciate you saving me £100! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Most air sanders are noisy plus the noise of the compressor. Easier to use a electric one in my opinion
A compressor is invaluable for some jobs spraying, sand blasting etc. But air tools are inefficient compared to electric, more for use in bodyshops where electric motors can produce a spark ignition hazard.
