60 Gallon Air Compressor

Electric air compressors are a must have tool. It allows you to complete so many different tasks faster, more efficiently, and with greater ease. The 60 gallon air compressor is the ideal tank size. It’s big enough for the jobs that require more power, but small enough to be somewhat portable and easy to work with. If you’re looking for a super portable compressor make sure and visit the 1 gallon air compressor page. I am not a mechanically inclined person — but I have an 60 gallon vertical compressor in my garage and it is worth every penny that it cost.

Let’s talk about some of the air tools that you can hook up. This is not a comprehensive list, just a few of the tools that are useful.

• Tire Inflator – This tool allows you to pump air into your car tires. You won’t have to make a trip to the gas station to inflate your tires and keep the PSI at the correct amount. Having properly inflated tires will increase the lifespan of your tires and give you better MPG. Some inflation tools also have a pressure gauge on the tool so you can see the PSI while you are filling the tire up.

• Air Ratchet/Wrench – Works just like a ratchet/wrench but the compressed air does the work for you. You can still be in control of which direction the socket turns. These won’t be able to loosen or tighten. So if you are take off a tire you need to use a high impact tool to loosen the lug nuts first and then you can use the air wrench.

• Air Guns – This tool allows you to blow compressed air in a controlled manner. It is a great way to sweep the garage floor, or dry a car, or spray a friend with a blast of air.

1 Gallon Air Compressor

1 gallon air compressors are great to fill a niche in your handy work. They won’t meet all of your air compressor needs but they are the most portable air compressor that will get the job done for you. Most are oil-free and won’t require much maintenance.

These small compressors are great for home improvement projects. The small one gallon tank means that the device will weigh approximately 20 pounds. It makes driving nails as simple as pushing a button. It’s also a great tool if you need to do finish work on wood.

On average the 1 gallon air compressor will be able to do 10 nails before the motor kicks in for inflation. Most tanks have around 150 PSI, and most tanks will take around 2 minutes to completely refill. These numbers are general numbers and the exact times and pressure will be dependent on the specific model being used.

A 1 gallon air compressor might be too small for your purpose. It comes down to personal preference. You can always get a 2 or 4 gallon air compressor. The weight will increase, but so will the amount of work that you can finish before the compressor needs to fill up.
