With its help you can pump up your car tires...
...use a pneumatic tool:
- with an impact wrench;
- a gun for blowing parts with compressed air, etc.
It is unlikely that a small garage should purchase a compressor with high performance and a large receiver; in this case, a compressor with a performance of about 200 l/min and a receiver volume of about 25 l will be sufficient. In addition, an important parameter of the compressor is the method of lubrication of its parts. Low-capacity compressors usually make do with the lubricant that was installed at the factory (oil-free compressors). A compressor with higher productivity uses oil, which is poured into its crankcase (oil compressors). For frequent use, choose oil compressors, as they have a longer service life compared to "oil-free" ones, but they are also more expensive. For connecting some pneumatic devices (for example, a paint gun) an oil separator is required.
