For me, minimum 100 litres. You’ll probably get fuller suggestions. John

I would recommend buying the biggest one you can afford both in £ and in the space you have available.

I bought an ex dentist silent compressor with 2 x 90 litre tanks and triple bambi compressors. It's the best compressor I've had and one of the cheapest. It sounds like a fridge when it's running, 200 psi in the tanks, no oil in output.

Is it still cheaper/better to run air tools ? I thought everyone was running cordless power tools these days ?

I originally started out my workshop on air tools and a compressor and have now moved almost everything that needs power over to Milwaukee including filling tyres with air. I do still use the compressor for light painting, blowing of dust etc and small sandblasting. Like others say buy as big as you can for price and area. These are loud so I keep mine in a separate room to the workshop. I bought a 150L one and it does most jobs well but you wont be using heavy air tools on it as itll cycle too much. We have an older larger one when we need a bigger tank.
