Hi All,
I am looking at getting a simple air compressor for the garage mainly for tyre pressures and blow drying after washing and possibly some other tools further down the road if I ever manage to get into this whole self bike maintenance.
So my first question is would a 24L tank be big enough for most uses? The site I am looking https://www.sgs-engineering.com/air-compressors say a 50L tank is minimum for an impact wrench which I can see being useful only in a limited number of occasions for loosening tough nuts so would a 24L tank be big enough for a one off use like that?
Next is moisture air filters, are they worth putting on for tyre inflation and using a blow gun as a drying tool for hard to reach places or is it just a waste of time? And I would assume they would need to be mounted on the tool rather than the compressor it's self to be of any use?
Thanks for any advice.
