At help again would be much appreciated.

Hi Tony
I had loads of trouble sorting out a decent compressor - I found some of the smaller compressors come with tools they can't actually operate.

I bought in the end a 50L Draper V Twin 29355 compressor for about £240 and that operates all my stanley tools happily.
Discovered the key thing is to check the CFM (Air displacement) required for the specific tools you want and spec your compressor from there.

Even has a set of wheels you can actually use to move it around (unlike many where the wheels are a token gesture.
Hope that helps

Tony, i wouldn't think a 12cfm would remove a FFRR wheel nut? Let alone a set of 20 nuts! & at only 20ltrs capacity you would not run a tool for long before the cfm would be closer to 2!

You get what you pay for with compressors my friend... Sorry

Many thanks guys.im now looking at a 14cfm compressor .hopefully it will do the job.got a few quid to spend so i might have to up my realities .cheers again

^ What I advised a few weeks ago...

Remember you will need to use a 30 amp supply to run a 14CFM compressor, it won't run on a standard 15 amp circuit...or it will for a short while until the wires melt and cause a fire

Thanks for the info.guess the wifey would be really miffed if I set fire to the garage.

Or the house "on route to the garage"
