Air tools are recent developments in the tools and equipment industry.
These tools are handy, affordable and can drastically changing your working output as they are easier to manipulate and are very efficient.
However, in order to operate these air tools, you need gas air compressors because this equipment powers up your air tools.
Gas compressors come in different sizes and capacities.
There are bigger types available that has wheels and handles attached so you can move them around easily.
Of course, there are models that do not have these wheels and handles as they are more portable.
These gas compressors have different horsepower and psi (pound per square inch) rating.
Gas air compressors are perfect for people who are always on the go because they do not need electricity to power up.
Before you go out and purchase your own gas air compressor, you need to check your requirements.
For instance, if you are going to use your gas air compressor for airbrushing, then you need one that has a five liter capacity and 30 psi.
If you feel that you need a bigger volume of air, then you need to purchase a gas air compressor with a bigger capacity.
Buying otherwise will only make you stand and wait for your tank to fill up which can dramatically decrease your efficiency, and worse, it can drive you nuts! There are also portable compressors, so depending on where you want to use it, you might as well buy yourself one.
If you are going to use it on your roof to fix your shingles, then portable is perfect but if you need something for a different purpose like filling tires in your garage, then portables are just okay but you may need a gas air compressor with a higher capacity.
Wherever and however you plan to use it, you need to make sure that you take note of the many uses you have before you purchase one.
Power source is another great consideration.
Some compressors run in 11 volts although higher capacities run on 240.
Check what you have before you purchase your gas compressor.
Budget, of course, is another consideration.
Just like other things, prices vary.
The basic compressor set up can cost a couple hundred of bucks, and complicated ones can reach up to a thousand.
