My small compressor had given up the ghost. It was similar to this here. Mainly used for inflating tyres.

I am looking at a replacement and can't decide between 24 or 50ltr tank. Again for inflating tyres but also blowing debris dust and maybe the odd air tool. Problem is I am tight for space.

I have a low budget of about £100-£125

I have seen the following and would like some advise/feedback:
50ltr here
24ltr here

i was given one of those as it was dead

Took the head of and replaced the blown gasket with a piece of thin cardboard

Been fine for 2 years

So it might not be dead

Tnak size is not that relevant.

It's all about the cfm!

8 cfm will easily pump tyres up and run paint guns and some small air tools.
