just been speaking to a guy in work about getting some paint done on my car, an saying id have a bash if i had a compressor etc..

so he says, "ive got one in mine you can have if you want"

Air ratchet. The sort the tyre monkeys use when changing your car tyres without regard for removing them later. So, not much use Wink

However, useful as impact to remove nuts. Had to take daughter's scooter to local garage to ask for help as previously service place put rear wheel back on and we could not remove even with expended breaker bar. Air gun loosened in milliseconds. So good for loosen, not so much for tightening.

You can also attach some quite nifty cutting tools.

Free stuff is free stuff. Even if you don't find yourself using it that much you have always got one.

Compressors are one of those things that you never think you need until you've got one, then think, how did I ever manage without one?
