Compressor Advice Again
Discussion
I'm looking at a 24 ltr compressor mainly for blowing up tyres but will also use an air blow gun quite a lot and have narrowed it down to a choice of two .... Both are 24 ltr ... one has a 2.5HP motor and is rated at 8 bar, the other has a smaller 2HP motor but rated at 10 bar
I'm guessing that the one with the smaller motor will just take longer to fill especially as it's taking it to a higher pressure but once it's done the air will last longer before it cuts in to re-fill again.
Whilst I think both would be fine for filling car / bike tyres but would one be better for an air blower as I'd use this quite a lot and the higher pressure of the 10 bar may have more force and be better for blowing away muck / debris ... flip side of the same coin it may also be more frustrating when the pressure drops off as the smaller motor will probably take longer to re-charge.
I'm prettynew to compressors so any advice anyone can offer of one vs the other would be much appreciated.
