Question 1

For what projects or activities is an air compressor essential or highly useful?

Accepted Answer

Air compressors have many uses, including roof nailing, framing nailing, and hobby painting.

Question 2

Why is air compressor tank capacity important?

Accepted Answer

Air compressor tank capacity refers to the volume of compressed air that the compressor's storage tank can hold, typically measured in gallons. This tank acts as a reservoir, storing compressed air produced by the pump. Its primary purpose is to provide air buffer, allowing the compressor motor to run less frequently. When you use an air tool, you draw air from this reserve. Choose from capacities such as 20 gal., 30 gal., and 8 gal..

Question 3

I see some compressors say "oil-less". Does that mean they never need any maintenance?

Accepted Answer

While "oil-less" compressors don't require oil changes, they still benefit from occasional check-ups and filter replacements to ensure optimal performance. If you prioritize convenience and want to eliminate the hassle of oil maintenance, an oil-less model is right for you!

Question 4

What does "CFM" mean?

Accepted Answer

CFM stands for Cubic Feet per Minute and refers to the volume of air the compressor can deliver at a specific pressure, like 90 PSI. A higher CFM rating means the compressor can power air tools that require a lot of air for longer periods, so it's best to know the CFM requirement for the tools you will be using.

Question 5

What are some popular brands of air compressors?

Accepted Answer

Some popular brands known for high-quality air compressors include DEWALT, Industrial Air, and DEWALT.
