Lidl compressor and accessories

Compressor and accessories on offer at Lidl.

Now I've always fancied a compressor and some air tools for nut guns, spraying etc. Nothing too expensive as it will get used once in a blue moon. Is this even bordering on useful or am I wasting my time with it?

I bought a Lidl one, and I find it endlessly useful. Even if it were just for inflating tyres it would be well worth it, but I've used it for undoing stubborn nuts and bolts with the windy gun, I've used the blowgun to clear out spark plug holes and swarf from things, I've used the spray gun to paint my garage, and I've used the air wrench to do up and undo fasteners.

The thing I use the most is the tyre inflator though, as I do have three bikes and a car, plus the GF's bike.

The original Lidl one was stolen a few years back but it was pretty decent and did the job well. The replacement is better quality (SIP) but it does about the same job.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Sorry to hijack the post but on the matter of Lidl has anyone got the Sandblaster gun ? and if what do you think ?

Yeah to Meh for sandblasting.
The problem is not the finish and easy of use but the clean up after. The medium has to be kept dry too or it won't flow.

And you need some substantial PPE too.

Unless you mean a small 'booth/cabinet' type then best leave it to the commercial boys.

It's about the size of a dwarf with her hands handcuffed behind her knees. Not a midget, a dwarf.

I also have a vacuum brake bleeder for the compressor which works very well too.

Don't bother with a 25l job, hang on until aldi do the 3hp 50l version. Pretty much the smallest you want to go.
