Compressor is crap, wont run any of the air tools.
Bought mine last year, struggled to run my plasma cutter and finally the rail with the outputs has split and dropped to bits...

Those air ratchets are really usefull, they don't exert much torque but in tight spots and repetative work they are great.
I've had the clarke half and three eigth inch versions an wouldn't be without, at £15 inc some sockets thats worth having.

coozer- the CFM rating of the compressor is 9.5, which is higher than most of the tools as far as I can see (some are not labelled but similar
products in market)?

I have that compressor too, its terrible - although you can set the psi to match what the air tool spec says, it just can't do anything useful -
the air drill struggles to drill a 3mm hole in 1.5 mm thick steel.

OK then forget about the compressor. You must admit the Play Ball and Launcher Set is pretty nifty for £1.69

That'll be an avoid then! But what's limiting it - surely just the regulator flow rate? Change the reg?

measure twice, cut once, scrap it, start again.

I have to agree, the compressor is poo for using with proper air tools... although it drives the little die-grinder ok... plus is handy for blowing
dust away and inflating tyres.....

Well I picked up the impact gun and the ratchet.
Annoyingly the ratchet once the quick release adapter is fitted won't fit in the blow moulded case! Once I've proven it works I may have
to cut it about so it fits.

got one of these last year with the rectractible air hose.
good for blowing up tyres and odd air tool use. it works the air ratchet and buzz gun ok.
not a professional compressor but ok for light use.
not tried spraying anything with it as yet but will have a go with it soon as i need to paint the lower valance on my vectra

Correct, outputs 9.5cfm for about 30 seconds then on comes the motor, deafens you for 2 minutes then 9.5 for another 30 seconds.
The cut-off saw runs out after about 10 seconds....
