These are on offer at the moment

Has anyone got one? Are they any good? How many cylinders does it have?

I'm thinking of replacing my 10 year old Clarke 3HP, which has done me sterling service, but is leaking oil and by rights I should renew its receiver test certificate.

These SIPs boast a 3HP motor, but are fitted with a 13A plug.

I have had one for about 22 years, mine is red but it looks identical.
It will just about run of a 13amp plug once you find a fuse that dosen't blow.
Mine is still going strong, the diaphragm in the inboard regulator failed after about 10 years but easy to fix.
Single cylinder I think, although it could be a parallel twin! To be honest I have never checked.

Have you seen mine in the for sale section..

Its as new.. much bigger tank 14cfm rated for industrisl use...

And cheaper too.

Thanks Paul, but it'll cost more than the difference to get it to Sheffield and I'm guessing you won't put a year's warranty on it.

Also I want the smallest tank I can get due to space restraints and ease of moving about.

Sorry cant do the warrenty..but its hardly used...maybe able to help a little with transport..but cant think of a way to shrink it...
Thanks for replying though and good luck with your purchase...
Cheers, Paul.
