Air Compressor Power Source for Air Tools

An air compressor is a handy tool that can be used around the home, garage, basement, or it can be taken to wherever a high pressure air supply is required. Most units are portable; many designed for use by homeowners are smaller in size and have wheels to facilitate moving the unit around. The basic air compressor used at home or in smaller workshops can be tucked away in a small space in the garage, basement or shed. Very small ones can be used for projects like air brushing art work or small parts. These machines have their own powerful engine and require normal 120V electrical power or another power source.

Who Makes Air Compressors?

Craftsman is a top brand manufacturer of portable air compressor units. Other well-known brand name air equipment is made by: Ingersoll-Rand, Snap-On, Campbell Hausfeld, Steele, Trademark, Hitachi and EMAX and others. Most will deliver air pressurized from 40psi to 125psi, good for home jobs. Some models come with a hose and accessory kit. Many air cylinder liners are durable cast iron, which can make the unit quite heavy; wheels are necessary.

What Does an Air Compressor Do?

The basic compressor is a creative device that can convert electric, gas or diesel engine power into kinetic energy. It does this when it pressurizes and compresses air. The air is then released in short bursts. This air supply is ideal for inflating items like tires or powering air tools. This tool is either vertical or horizontal in dimensions and often is attached to a wheeled carrier or has its own wheels for easier portability. Others are fitted with a backpack style harness.

Air Compressor Tools

Many handypersons enjoy the luxury of using air-powered tools. These tools can make a hard job quick and easy. Tools are small and the air compressors are small and portable, so everything can be taken where they are needed to be, in or out of the workshop. Air power is ideal for many types of hand tools, including the following favorites:

Accessories for Air Compressors

Accessories are essential to maintain smooth operation of the air compressor. Homeowners should have extra couplings, air hoses, retractable reel air hose holders, air hose repair kits, air filters, air tool oil, tubing, gauges, air chuck, air line regulators and other handy items. Accessories for air compressors make a nice gift item for anyone who does hobby work or home repairs using an air compressor.

Air Tool Parts

Using air tools may require additional parts, such as nails, blade pack for mini-saw, impact extension bar, air cut-off tool, impact sockets, cable staples and other small parts. These may come in a carry-all case as an air compressor accessory kit for extra convenience and ease of storage.

Air compressors, parts and accessories are priced affordably even for the smallest need at home. Larger compressors are best for tougher jobs and larger tools; commercial grade air compressors do the heaviest duty job. A small air compressor can be very helpful for painting, air brushing and general inflating jobs around the home. Use yours to inflate bicycle tires, automobile and truck tires, floatation toys, holiday decorations and with small hand tools like air power drills, hammers and wrenches.
