teamtom Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 Just make sure you dont blow yourself away
flyingbanana Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 so many hand tools you can get that will make working on the car easyier
Twinkle Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Posted February 2, 2007 already bought a nibbler and cut off tool and one of the little blow things
flyingbanana Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 also wheel gun...de-grinder..with attachment for all that polishing you can do now (fithy job) but worth it also dont know which blowy thing you got but a tyre inflactor is worth it
Cookie Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 gotta get a air chisel.... Seconded, if it's the only thing you buy, get one, very versatile tool
teamtom Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 never used an air chisel before they work well i take it? Must haves: Impact wrench Air ratchet Blowy thing
flyingbanana Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 never used an air chisel before they work well i take it? makes easy work cutting metal out/tight areas/splitting exhaust apart etc
jay Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 never used an air chisel before they work well i take it? makes easy work cutting metal out/tight areas/splitting exhaust apart etc ^^^^what he said^^^^ and they make a great noise too........
Twinkle Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Posted February 5, 2007 here it is, should speed things up
john_3.0s Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 now that is a big boy (about the same as mine ) one word of advice, assuming its second hand, remove the big inspection caps at each end and make sure its not rusty inside AND make sure you blow it down regular so you dont get moisture building up inside it. Would be quite scary if it went up in your garage one day (and prob fatal). Sorry if you knew this already but best to be safe...
Twinkle Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Posted February 5, 2007 cheers for the advice john, its a 14cfm and 150 liter tank i bought it from machine mart and its a return so got it cheap but its got a 3 month warranty
Cookie Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 Exactly the same one i have m8, bought mine just under 2 years back, I am well happy with it, drives all the tools spot on, only thing it can't quite keep up with is the air da, will run it for about 10 mins then you have to wait for pressure to come back up. But i have to say i have used it almost every day down my workshop and it has never missed a beat, changed the oil in it once and never touched it apart from that. Excellent bit of kit
