mazambaan Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 I use my compressor (2kW, 120l/min & 50l tank) once a week or so and it is very handy to have. If I bought again I would buy a quieter one. Runs out of puff quite quickly.

geomark Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 So I sent Ryobi an email last night and received feedback from an agent in CT this morning. They have what I am looking for and were exceptionally helpful.Just a word of warning to manage your expectations, if it is pretty old and has sat for quite a while the batteries may not be that good by the time you get a charger. They can be replaced with generics in the same plastic housing though. Skylark and Hairy 2
geomark Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Finally getting my own garage in 4 months time (hopefully) and starting to collect my tools. A compressor is the first ‘big’ item on the list and need some advise on what to get. Just going to be used for regular home use, I.e. tubeless, drying chains etc. We are going to be in a small complex so started looking at the ‘silent’ 25L options from Ardendorff. Is this a good option or should I look at something else? If so, what should I be looking at? Don’t want to drop 6k on something that isn’t going to be used properly, will rather spend that ZAR on the workbench and drawers.Avoid the small Ryobi ones, they are eye wateringly noisy, a friend bought a small "Trade Air" and it was far more civilized, but definitely try and listen to it running 1st and see if can live with it in a complex

Zebra Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Awesome. Thank you. You can contact me on 0827877112 as well.they brought 2 Spinners round to show me, and ONE in particular is super-neat...the super-neat one is the TOPTUL spinner, since it is DOUBLE ended (!), meaning screwdriver bits go in one side, sockets 1/4" on the other, with dual 'spinners', and it is Aluminium/has some 'weight' to it! the 2nd one is quality, too, single-sided, and it is called a PALM ratchet, 3/8" drive. they are R214 and R267 respectively, both EX vat, important that you ADD 15%. I don't stock, you can get them from TENG Tools DIRECTLY! Hope that helps / onwards and upwards!Chris Edited February 23, 2021 by Zebra Long Wheel Base, Big_Al, WrightJnr and 4 others 7
