By far, the handiest tool I own is an air compressor.

When I bought my compressor I knew I would use it more than I expected. I have used it WAY more than I ever could have guessed. Air tools are the best.

Noob question-- what are some things you use air compressors for?

Noob question-- what are some things you use air compressors for?

anything that you have an air tool for. :)

i mostly use it for the following:

- air impact to remove highly torqued/stubborn nuts/bolts (SO much easier to pull a trigger vs getting a breaker bar and/or cheater bar, especially in tight spaces) and then put them back on

- refill tires

- power my cut off wheel to cut the crap out of metal like it was soft butter

- helps make my plasma cutter work. :twisted:

a few of my friends use their air ratchet for removing pretty much any bolt, some use their compression them for painting, the list goes on and on.
