I've got a bandit at home and another ar work (bought after I'd used the one at home). Neither were planned on being used to replace the main compressor(s) but as a usefu,l highly portable, unit.
Reality - it does 90% of home work and 40% of work work (if you follow :roll: )

just a question

some said about the axminster nail gun is the compressor not as good then?
seems to near match on the size

If you look at a picture of this and the Bandit, you'll be hard pressed to see any difference.

whats the nail gun like does have the rounded rubber bit on the end for shooting in nails as hard to see from the picture

To avoid crushing round the nail site you want a nailer with what the americans call a no-mar nose. Then you get a small rubber dooberry on the nose that buffers recoil. Cheap nail guns probably omit this, or if supplied, will not be aailable as a spare (they're all too easy to loose)

That axi compressor is the same as my bandit one just a different colour , i would put a wager that they are made by the same people just painted in a different colour :wink:

Re the nail gun leaving marks , i have both the clarke one (came in the kit) and the axi gun that i purchased at Wizer discount :lol:

The clarke has a round wire nose which leaves marks in softwood , the axi one has a metal nose that is square and takes no pressure to push in , it leaves no marks at all even on softwood :wink:

IMO i cant see the difference at all with the compressors so buy the cheapest of the 2 , and get the axi nail gun rather than the clarke one

Having just had a quick look on the machine mart site i see they have discontinued the bandit compressor so maby that ebay one will be a good purchase http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/produ ... pressors-2
