ALDI compressors

Post by james butler »

ALDI is selling their compressors again along with all the kit to work on cars ie
Impact guns- ok for the money
Nail guns- fantastic bit of kit
Air ratchet- brilliant especially when taking apart suspension parts and taking gearboxes out.

I bought all of the kit 7 years ago and to be honest the only bad stuff is the air saw and the regulator/ oiler
But the rest is fantastic value for money and you get a STANDARD 3 YEAR WARRENTY!

The compressors are £89.99 in maypole ALDI near me.

If I remember right the tech specs are
25 litre tank
2.5 Hp moter
9 CFM ( important to know what tools you can run continuously)
Runs off a standard 13 amp plug
Comes with tyre inflator, air duster, gravity fed spray gun and paraffin gun.
If you could buy and run two of these together they would be cheaper and more powerful than nearly all compressors sold at machine mart for under £500

Just got the impact wrench and orbital sander from Lidl - cheap as chips - tempted to get the lot really (sandblaster, needle gun, saw and the list goes on !)
