Just bought a small Fini compressor to do little jobs before I get a bigger one. Any go to suppliers for air tools and consumables?

I think @boba fett bought a compressor? If it wasn't him I seem to remember someone talk about it. What do kind of stuff do you use it for in a domestic setting? Is if for the car or other stuff?

Both really. Apply wax based underseal to car, nailing,stapling, light spraying, tyre pressures, air gun etc. Useful spray car parts, airbrush. Plan to get a bigger compressor for other air tools like a wrench etc.

I would not be without one now. Best just to get the draper starter kit and then upgrade what you use. I particularly like the air gun, so I bought a really good one, and its awesome for blowing the dust off the car and drying it down! I have also bought the commercial type tyre pressure gauge as I use that a lot as well!

Do you use Euro style fittings or PCL?
Pleased to see mine has 2 air outlets so can run 2 lines.
Do you use air/water filter and an oil feed for air tools?

I use the smaller connections can't remember what its called. I don't use oil or water?

I have a compressor, that's attached to a self recoiling 30m hose and that's attached to the garage ceiling!
