Has anyone got a Machine Mart VAT code (that's valid)?

I went for my vaccine earlier [1] - which proved expensive.

The airline hose had caught the Triumph's footpeg and as I exited the
garage it caused my 20 year old SiP compressor to topple over. Neatly
shearing off the outlet. So that's now scrap.

I've seen one in Machine Mart which looks just the job for £168 but I
would like to make it cheaper:

Is Airmaster part of the Clarke brand?


[1] Astra Zeneca, does that make me a [fx: American accent] paytreot.

I haven't had a VAT-free voucher from them for ages now. Getting on for a year, I reckon.

I think it's one of their in-house brands, yeah. I've had an Airmaster Tiger 8/44 for, I dunno, 8 years or so, and it's never let me down. Current equivalent would be the 8/260, by the looks of it, so smaller than the one you're looking at, but much the same thing. Never really tried to run tools off it though - if I have power to run the compressor I have power to run tools - just fitting tyres, getting a barbecue blazing hot, and blowing up inflatable tat to clutter up the garden. You know, all the normal stuff.

It turns you into an incredibly small statistical risk.

Only the ones under 30 apparently.
