Air Compressor Recommendation Please
Discussion
Not sure if anybody knows anything about air compressors and could point me in the right direction, it's main use will be for car / bike tyres and would like it to do then fairly quickly ........ a lot quicker than the ones you plug into cigarette lighters and maybe for spraying models as well. In a ideal world would like something as small as possible although there's no point in getting something that can't "do the job" would this be any good

or will I be waiting just as long as the cigarette lighter plug in ones
alternatively this, although it's only 5 ltr tank but 10 bar (not sure if that makes much difference over 8 bar) but is small and can be wall mounted out of the way

One of those would be my preferred but If neither is man enough and I do go for something bigger I guess I could use it for spraying the fence, a nail gun and sander and in which case are any of these going to be much better than the other ... the Stanley seems the lowest powered at 1.5hp, the Hyundai the highest at 2.5 hp but I'm not sure how much difference that'd make and in what way??

Cheers for everyone's responses is much appreciated ...... Tampon ( what a great username ) funnily enough the link you provided to the Hyundi is the same model as I linked to in the original post and then I did a search and found the exact one you linked to 10 mins after I started the thread on e-bay and bookmarked it .... great minds and all that :-)
Seems like the 5 ltr ones may be a bit of a waste of time as they're neither one thing nor the other, I can't honestly see as I've never spray painted fences in 52 yrs that I'm about so suddenly start just because I've bought a compressor that can and I wonder if I was to use it for spraying models if it'd be as noisy as F... inside so may be better off getting the 1st one I linked to or one of these

for car / bike tyres ... I just wish I knew how quickly they'd take a tyre from say 20 to 44 psi, if it was like 20 seconds it'd do what I wanted it to for it's primary purpose and I'd get one specifically for models at a much cheaper cost and probably a lot quieter as well.
Hmmm ... can't decide, the one that "does it all" is still tempting.
Thanks for everyone's input though and a Happy New Year to all !!!
