Web Hosting Talk : Other Forums : Web Hosting Lounge : Which air compressor to buy

[lexington]

I only want an air compressor to use to blow dust out of my electronic equipment. The air compressors I have searched for seem to be portable for autos or the really expensive industrial compressors used for mechanics. I just need something that blows air Any recommendations?

yes, dont do it. we tried one and all it did was create more of a mess. use the air in a can.

if you really insist, here is one (not the one we bought)

The air in the can lasts for about 30 seconds and costs $10 dollars. Plus the can gets down to about -50 degrees (exaggerating) if you hold it for too long. Thanks that compressor looks good. Why did you suggest not to get one?

it is more hassle than it is worth and creates more of a mess, more noise and more smell!

[lexington]

Hmm but I will probably use it once every few months and I rather have the mess out of my electronics. The can made a mess too but I swept it up.

Any air compressor large enough to run a framing nailer. (5 gal, or more). Then buy air nailers ranging from tack guns to framing nailers, because like the microwave oven, you'll wonder how you ever lived without them.

I wish that Husky was available in my country.

I use my vaccum cleaner with a small nozzle attachment. The hose can be attached to the air outlet to make it work as a blower.

Be *very* careful using an air compressor inside computer equipment. You need to have something to remove moisture from the compressed air (preferably more than one between the air source and outlet) or it will blow water onto the parts. I use a compressor on a daily basis in woodworking, and without this, you will get excessive moisture coming out the end.

There's only smell if it's not electric.
