I agree with ed. I use a 5 hp compressor with much higher spec than that to operate small things such as my air hacksaw and small drill.

it is ok for those tools (just) but need something at least 2/3 times the size again for ratchets/airguns etc...

Never used a spray gun with such a small compressor so can't say.

My opinion would be that it wouldn't work too well, but I know people are sometimes pretty successful with compressors this size when painting small parts.

do u recon it would be ok to use with a spray gun ?

The main problem is the single phase power supply - not up to the job really...

It's still not big enough either :(

ed has a rather large one btw :p

You need a hell of a lot more air to run tools like that than that compressor will provide. 8 bar isn't going to be enough to even un-do a wheel nut or engine mount, especially as a 24 litre tank will be empty in seconds when using most of those tools.

cos a 24litre tank at 2.5 hp is a very underpowerd little compressor

Because ed's a snob.
