A few clicks on your mouse and you are sure to encounter hundreds if not thousands of websites advertising air compressors for sale, whether it is brand new, used, or refurbished. In the face of all these bewildering range of options, you will need to consider a few things about your needs before deciding which unit to buy.
The very first thing to think about is why you need the equipment. If you are a DIY enthusiast who will only use it for your personal projects you can probably settle for the direct drive type. On the other hand, if you are a professional and you expect heavy use of the machine for your work, the belt-driven model would be better suited for you. Direct drives generally last for about 500 hours of use, while belt drives can last three times as much. An advantage of the former is that it does not require oil to run. The latter, however, requires engine oil which you will need to change every 500 hours of operation. A quick survey of air compressors for sale will show that direct drives are generally less expensive than the belt drives.
The tools that you need to operate will dictate the power output of your equipment. Nail and staple guns usually require a high volume of output. Sanders and drills can settle for lesser volumes but the flow should be steady to maintain their spin. You will have to familiarize yourself with the concepts of horsepower, tank size, pounds per square inch (PSI), and cubic feet per minute (CFM) to fully understand engine power.
You need not purchase a brand new unit if budget is an issue. There are used and refurbished air compressors for sale both in hardware stores and on the Internet. These are either brand new units that were returned but could no longer be sold as brand new, or reconditioned machines that had their worn out parts replaced. Either of these will save you a good amount of money, and at the same time provide you with the benefits of a good piece of machinery.
