Antlia make a range of air compressors that suit the handyman. They are small and compact, can be easily moved and provide enough air for most jobs around the home. They have all have an air tank to store the compressed air and some are the new silent drive units which are a lot quieter than the normal piston compressor with a belt drive. The piston compressor is incredibly loud when pumping air into the tank. You need mains power to run these compressors as they are not battery powered.
The right compressor for the job
Before choosing an Antlia air compressor you need to map out what you want it for now and may be any future needs. The reason is their capacity to provide compressed air. Blowing up a bicycle tyre is different from spray painting a whole car. You don't want to be disappointed when your compressor runs out of puff right when you need it. There is a good know how article (choosing the right air compressor) that I recommend you read to help make your decision.
Antlia reliability and quality construction
Antlia build quality air compressors that are designed to be transported to where they are required. Most are on wheels and have an easy grip handle to make moving them simple. From their steel air tanks to their cast pumps and powerful electric motors, they are designed to work. They come with a pressure regulator which has a gauge so you can finely adjust the output air pressure to match what is required for the air tool you are using.
Air tools, air hoses and accessories
Shop online or at your local Repco store to get the air lines, air tools and accessories you need for your air compressor. See if you can do a deal in store to get the Antlia air compressor and all the hoses and tools you need to do the job. Much easier as you can make sure it all fits together at the store rather than getting home and finding the air tool won't plug into the air hose.
Finally, just a word of caution when using your air compressor. They are a good thing and there are a lot of jobs you can do with them. Compressed air is dangerous, so please follow the safety tips in the manual and enjoy owning your air compressor.
