Is this any good

[mordzy]

Only use compressor on weekend as a hobby. But need lots of Fad for blasting.

I was either going to get one of these

Or two of these.

Just don't know if they will pack up in 6 months.

the first on says 14 amp fuse i suspect that will be per motor have you got a decent power supply to run it ?

Go for one with cast iron cylinders, not aluminium.

Personally I'd be inclined to get a Clarke from my local Machine Mart.

 

[mordzy]

Yeah the Clarke is double the price. I know it's get what you pay for most of the time so thought if ask. Have 40 amp direct feed.

I'd be a bit wary of anything with Tool Mate Expert written on the side for sale on ebay. The pumps look small for a 300 litre tank and two 3hp motors don't equal a 6hp in my opinion. It's just a cheap way of making figures look good.

"Industrial" and "Heavy Duty" are phrases I'd be wary off too in a lot of cases.
