One of the most useful tools in any environment is an air compressor, and thanks to the reduction in cost that have been seen over the past few years, it is now possible to obtain a high quality professional standard home air compressor for a lot less than you might think.  Whether you need something for little jobs such as keeping your tires pumped up, or want to take advantage of the wide range of different tasks that a home air compressor can be used for, choosing the right one is very important if you are to get the most out of your unit when you get it home.

In a commercial environment such as a workshop, many professionals prefer to use air powered tools rather than electrical, and with a high power home air compressor such as the Badger Air Brush Whirlwind compressor, you will actually be able to use a number of air tools and replace your expensive heavy electric tools with more powerful, lighter, and more efficient air tools instead.

One of the most common uses for a home air compressor is to ensure that you car tires are properly inflated.  By regularly topping up the air in your tires, you will be able to get a much better ride, as well as enjoying much better fuel economy – essential these days!  This mundane task is one that you do need to carry out on a weekly basis to ensure the smooth running of your vehicle, and having a home air compressor on hand whenever you need it will make it easier.

One of the most popular home air compressors is the Ingersoll Rand Garage Mate.  These high quality units from one of the top manufacturers are designed for regular use, and could even meet the needs of a professional mechanic.  Thanks to a 2HP motor, they can produce high pressure compressed air for a wide variety of tasks at the flick of a switch, and yet are lightweight and portable enough to be moved easily from one place to another. 

Ingersoll Rand produces a number of different Garage Mate workshop and home air compressors starting from under $800.  Thanks to their standard fittings, they can easily be hooked up to a wide range of air tools including impact wrenches, hammers, sanders and drills in order to give you the power that you need wherever and whenever you want it.

Ingersoll Rand even offers a complete garage tools pack based on the Garage mate home air compressor that includes all the accessories that you need such as hoses, fittings, and the famous Ingersoll Rand 1215i Titanium Ratchet – the most powerful model on the market, and more than a match for any electric tool in your current arsenal.

If your needs go beyond the basic ability to inflate tires and run a few tools, then a Garage Mate single stage home air compressor may not be sufficient.  For really demanding tasks, a self contained gasoline driven wheelbarrow style compressor may be required.  These much more powerful compressors are able to drive a wider variety of tools, including plasma torches and much more.  Thanks to a gas driven engine powering the compressor, these models are completely portable, and you will be able to take them on the road with you to have power when you need it.  These particular units are particularly useful if you own a boat and want to be able to inflate the hull when you get to the ocean, or have work to do away from an electrical supply.

From getting a better finish when painting by using a spray gun through to carrying out maintenance on your vehicle and even just inflating the tires on your car, having a home air compressor rather than having to rely on other options will allow you to tackle a much wider variety of different jobs without being afraid that your regular electric tools will not be able to perform when it counts.
