Choosing The Right Air Compressor

An air compressor is a power tool that works by releasing pressurized air in powerful bursts. Overall, they tend to be quicker and more powerful than conventional power tools.  This allure makes them very popular, but with so many options on the market, choosing the right air compressor can be a challenge.  Whether you end up buying a Devilbiss Air Compressor or a Porter Cable, deciding on the right one for your job is a very important decision.  Where will you be using this compressor, around the house or out in a garage?  Answering this question will help you determine your air compressor needs.


If you decide to purchase an air compressor for use around the house, then a portable one would be the right fit.  A portable air compressor provides a decent amount of power, but is also small enough to carry around and tend to be inexpensive.  Some portable compressors are even tankless, which makes handling them much easier.  A Devilbiss Air Compressor that would work for you is the Air Power EXFAC200, which runs for around $79.00.  If you are looking for a bit more power, then try the Campbell Hausfeld 2-Gallon Hot Dog Air Compressor, model FP2048, for $99.00.  A pancake compressor, such as the Porter Cable C2002-WK, is great for framing.  It costs around $164.

When purchasing an air compressor that will be used in a limited area, such as a garage or automotive shop, then you will want to choose a stationary compressor, which tend be much more powerful than the portable versions.  You can also expect to pay a bit more.  A good stationary compressor is the E7540 Devilbiss Air Compressor.  Plan on spending about $1000.  Another option would be the Coleman Powermate PLA3706056, which costs a bit less at $565.  The advantage of a stationary compressor is that is has a larger tank, which gives you more time to operate your tools.

With so many different options available, it is important that you do your homework when choosing the right air compressor for your needs.  You might choose a stationary Coleman or a portable Devilbiss Air Compressor, but in the end, as long as it has enough power for your job, then it was the right decision.
