Default For sale - Compressor, brand new in box

I bought two compressors from Aldi this morning thinking one of my mates might buy the second, but none of them need one or they already have them, so it's up for grabs.

It's a 2.5hp unit with a 24 litre tank and is suitable for light garage use to drive basic air tools and pump up tyres etc. I've used one identical to drive an air impact wench to remove a front sprocket nut and it coped ok. These compressors are made by an English firm called Wolfair (but badged as Powercraft) and are very reliable, they come with a 3 year guarantee and parts are easily available should they be needed. As I said, this one is brand new and still in the strapped up box it came in, I haven't opened it.

Here's a link to the Aldi page
http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/2827_13371.htm

I want what I paid, which is £79-99. It's in Bedford and you'd have to collect it as it's way too heavy to put in the post (carriage charges would be what the thing cost to buy)

Good to know someone else thought it would be a good buy.

What Squirrell said

We can be compressor buddies

What else did you get? Me and Squirrell got the air filter/lubricator, impact wrench, ratchet and a shot blaster

I got the impact wrench, ratchet and drill and the hose reel. I cba with the filter/oiler because I won't be attempting to spray anything and I can use an oilcan. Today I went to Machinemart and bought their airtool set Kit1000, which has a spray gun (sold to a mate for a fiver already), paraffin gun, air blower, recoil hose and tyre inflator.

This will be all I need for the use I'll put it to in my workshop, if I was a professional of any kind I'd have bought a far more upmarket one.

I think that's expensive. I've got a hand operated Mytivac that works just as well and cost half of that.

True but why use a hand when you have compressed air?

But in all seriousness, I've seen this in action; 0 effort required for maximum results. I must have one.
