Air Compressor Parts
Topic: Air Compressor Parts

To get the most out of your money when buying an air compressor, adding the right air compressor parts is the key. As a costumer you today have thousands of air compressors parts and tools available for you compressed air system. Some are quiet essential and will come in handy without any regards to what field of work or what you intend to user you air compressor for, while other parts are more focused on niches and can be considered special tools.

The basic start up kit for any aspiring air compressor owner could consist of the following:

  • Recoil hose: This is a hose slightly thinner than ordinary air hoses. It is shaped like an old fashion telephone set wire, with coils to let it extend and retract as you pull on it.
  • Blow gun: The blow gun seem simple, and frankly it is. Never the less, you can use it for anything around the house, in the garden, or in the garage. E.g. blow dry garden furniture after they have been cleaned, or after a rain fall; blow dust of of dirty car parts and tools; clean gutters and blow open clogged pipes; etc.
  • Filters. Attach both a water/oil trap and an air filter to your compressor to ensure high quality with either dust particles or condensate and oil droplets. By installing filter you can safely use the compressor to do so much more, like airbrushing, dusting of fabrics and furnitures, inflating balloons, etc.
If you intend to use your air compressor mainly in the garage, these parts are handy to have around:
  • Retractable air hose: this is brilliant in garages and workshops. No more time wasted on coiling up you air hoses, simply give it a pull and the retractable air hose reels itself in, thanks to the spring loaded mechanism. Not only does it save you time, it also keeps the hose out of harms way, making the workshop safer to work in and increasing the lifespan of the air hose.
  • Impact wrench: This tool is a must have for anyone handling rusty old nuts and bolts. Use it for loosening stuck bolts and nuts. Get an impact wrench with torque adjustment, so you can be sure not to damage the screws threads.
  • Air ratchet: This pneumatic wrench lets you easily tighten nuts and bolts in just a few seconds. It%u2019s also perfect for tight areas with little space to move.
  • Tyre inflator with gauge. Use it to inflate car tyres, bike tyres, inflatable toys, sport equipment, etc. With the gauge you can be sure that all tyres have the same pressure, giving your car better handling.
For home improvement projects and carpenters these parts may come in handy:
  • Sander: No matter what you do around the house, it always seem to be something that needs sanding. A pneumatic sander gets the job done, usually with less noise an electric model.
  • Nail gun: Depending on what you are going to fasten, you can choose from different nail guns, or you can buy a nail gun sett, perfect for fastening large pieces of wood, mouldings, trimmings, etc. without the risk of hammer marks if you miss a nail.
  • Air Grinder: Adjusting, sanding, precision cutting, etc. the air grinder is perfect and very handy to have around.
