Is it absolutely necessary to empty the compressor at the end of the day?....I understand the buildup of water vapour... ..it seems a shame to waste the air thats left after only using brad nailer occasionally! Your thoughts please. Gerry

Thanks guys....generally handling rough timber...

Is there a recommended type/make for use in the workshop?

Yes absolutely!...second time it's happened, same fault..Machine Mart repaired it, new switch box, cost about £45ish. ...happy with new one, oil-less, bigger capacity super quiet and on wheels!!

I have a Clarke shhh hardly used from new... really quiet like a fridge...but has a problem, the switch box I'm told. ..so now I have a Hyundai Super Silent 24L....tried it in the lounge, wouldn't annoy the neighbours!! ..so far happy with it. Thanks for all the input. Gerry

I'm finding some models advertised as 'Silent' are quite noisy Gerry

Hi Aidan...I want to alter the size of a metal garden gate plus various smaller jobs! Generally I use nuts n bolts when joining metals and have wanted a welder for some time, just not sure which type would suit. Tried the Arc type long time ago... didn't take to it... the Mig looks like it...

I want to do a spot of welding, total beginner...Mig looks the easiest, also confusing is "Inverter"...Flux cored, so any tips/guidance etc. will be most welcome. Gerry

Looking for compressor for use with brad nailers etc. Oiled or oil less...which? ...quiet one would be preferred! Price up to £200

Thanks for that lonsdale, I just wanted to know if a 6L x 8 bar comp. would power an 18g nail gun! It is also a silent unit (59 dB)plus oil less and free delivery!

Looking at the Stanley Fatmax Compressor Dst 100/8/6 Will this drive 18g pin nailers/staplers? (Amazon)

Thanks for your reply Sunnybob...I should have said the motor does not start at all, the only activity is from under the switch box, ie. air hissing out from that area along with a slight oily leakage...just enough to wet the tip of my finger...

It's been stored unused since its last service and now all that happens on start up is air is escaping from underneath the switch box! Also there is some oil leakage around the flange nut in the same area. Any help would be appreciated! Gerry

How to upload photos...help please!
