When it comes to succeeding with our at home DIY tasks, having the correct tools is almost as important as being in the know about how to perform the task at hand correctly. If you are interested in home improvement or have been researching on the subject in order to be able to complete a specific DIY task, you may or may not be aware of what an air compressor is. An air compressor is the favourite tool of many home improvement fans as it makes nailing and installing moulding easier than they ever thought possible.
They allow for ease when powering tools such as wrenches, paint sprayers and grinders - all in all they have a wide range of uses and are a must for any home when it comes to performing a multitude of tasks. However, if you are a bit of a novice when it comes to tools, you may be slightly unsure of how exactly to choose the right air compressor for your needs, which is actually a lot easier than many may think.
You do not necessarily need to be able to know the ins and outs of the scientific angle of how an air compressor works, but you do need to have a small understanding of how it works in order to be able to use it correctly. Put into simple terms, a compressor works with compressed gas which is stored in a tank. When you release the compressed air in short bursts, the pressure of the air which is escaping will be at a strength that is then able to power a wide range of tools.
Once you understand the basics of how an air compressor works, you can start comparing various air compressors by the level of airflow they provide. This can be measured by looking at the statistics they show, which will either be measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM) or standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM). In most cases, air compressors will be labelled with this level at around 90 pounds per square inch. When comparing these sizes, be aware that most large power tools will require an airflow of 10 cubic feet, whilst smaller appliances will need only 1-5 cubic feet per minute.
One you have established the different air flow levels different models will provide you with, you should then think about what your needs for the air compressor are as different tasks will require different air flow measures, etc. The smaller the storage tank, the smaller the tools in which you will be able to power; so if you are requiring the air compressor to power large tools, it is best to look at compressors which come which larger storage tanks. This is because smaller appliances such as a wrench will only require a short burst of air in order to work, so less air is required during its use.
Next you should think about where you intend to use your air compressor. This is because the environment in which you choose to use it is will affect the decisions you make in terms of what kind of motor you will require. Compressors to be used within the home should be bought with an electric motor as this is safer and will create no harmful exhaust fumes. If you are looking to use your compressor outdoors on big jobs, a gasoline-powered compressor will be more advantageous as it will be much more powerful and you will have ventilation from the exhaust fumes from being in the outdoors.
In most cases, air compressors can be very easy to carry and handle, but dependent on whether your compressor is a vertical or horizontal one will determine how easy it is to store. Vertical compressors generally take up less space, but when deciding on the motor, also take into consideration how you will move it and use it safely as in some cases gasoline powered compressors may require more than one person to move them due to their weight.
Once you have taken all of these points into consideration, you will be well informed on which type of air compressor is best for you and your needs. By choosing one which will perfectly fit the needs of your home improvement rather than opting for the biggest and heaviest model, you will not only be provided with a more efficient compressor, but will also be able to complete your home improvement tasks with ease and success.
