I bought one of these a couple of years back and it's been fine for little jobs, it uses different connectors to the airtools from Machine mart, and I found it lacks a bit of power, but for general stuff, air gun, ratchet, sockets etc, its fine. It can get noisy when its filling up, and even though it has a rubber foot the vibrations means it moves around until it reaches the end of it's power cord! Discovery 4 HSE

2 Tonne trolley jack is right on the limit for the FFRR, best go for 3 tonne capacity.

I bought one of the Costco aluminium trolley jacks, they are rated at 2 tonnes, but that is American measurements so in reality it is a 1.8 ton lift and although it will lift the FFRR it really is a bit of a struggle and not something I would recommend

Hi all,much to my disappointment aldi no longer have the compressor that I would like.
I have found this one on the bay of flea and was wondering if it would be sufficient for my garage at home.

Not big enough, it will run out of air and you will need to wait on it filling up every few minutes

Single phase - standard supply for domestic and light industry 220/240 volts.

5 amp light circuit - not suitable for equipment
13 amp ring main - max 2.5 hp std compressor, max 3.0 hp for LC compressors
45 amp cooker/shower - max 3.5 hp compressor

Single-phase compressors up to 2.5 hp can operate from a 240v 13 amp power supply, with the exception of the new 3 hp low current models. 3.0 hp and above must operate from a 240v 30 amp supply. Wherever possible, choose a larger compressor than you require at present to allow for expansion. Compressors with cast iron cylinders running slow offer a much extended service life.

a 3hp compressor will give you around 14CFM of air and should be enough for most of your requirements but note that you will need to run a heavy cable from the consumer unit as it requires a 30 amp circuit
