    I actually found the deal while browsing at my local Supercheap at Hectorville in SA. They had plenty of stock. I just linked the online catalogue for convenience. You go in grab the two items and take them to the checkout

  I got this one a while back when the deal was similar. Not a bad little unit - still working after household use of about a year :)

  Thanks for the post OP. I'm trying to work out if these affordably priced compressors and tools will just leave me regretting they aren't up to the real thing:-

  This tool kit doesn't look to me to be of much value — unless you play with the wheels of your car a hell of a lot! 5m hose looks too smal, too, but it may just be my use cases. I'm interested in air-chisel for removing ceramic floor tiles; drill; grinder; buffer; nail-gun and possibly some paimt jobs at home (roof and fences.)

  Interested to hear views from those with more experience.

  Some links I've found that might be of value to others:-

  [I think 1 cfm = approx 27 l/min — quick mental cal: multiply by 30 then subtract 10%]

    This kind of compressor is perfect for everything that you mentioned. The only thing it probably couldn't do is CONTINUOUS spray painting and grinding.

    I've used our direct drive for painting stain /oil onto treated pine, but you have to stop once it starts running the motor and wait until pressure comes back up. Really you need a lot more freee air delivery for spraying.

    But for nail guns, etc this size (or even a 2HP 25L will be fine.

  Will this be suitable for spray painting?
  I'm looking at doing small(er) jobs such as painting wheels + single body kit panels - as opposed to a whole car

    llama on 23/02/2013 - 11:19

    Not really… for cars you use lots of thin coats, and you can't stop part way because you get a texture change or gloss difference.

    Nothing would be worse than running out of air part way through a panel.

    Airbrush or dedicated low volume gun = yes

    Spray gun with pot (especially a cheapy) = nope

  Thanks for posting OP, picked one up today, put it together early will start it up tomorrow. Unfortunately after opening my air tool kit I noticed it was a return and had already been used, so I will be taking it back tomorrow for one that definately hasnt been opened. @Jettblack im 99% sure its the same as the previous deal you posted, the compressor in 2.5hp and 120L. The hose is quite cheap and flimsy and the toolkit isnt of a great standard, but for the price you definately can't complain!
