Re: Uses For An Air Compressor
A friend of mine rents his out to sprinkler companies to blow the lines out for winter. Makes a few hundred a month off of it.

Re: Uses For An Air Compressor
Ingersoll-Rand makes a good many of these pneumatic tools. Underground mines use lots and lots of pneumatic gadgets powered from compressors like yours.

Re: Uses For An Air Compressor
Strangest use I have ever seen for an Air Compressor....
Fall Clean Up ![]() I showed up at this house and found a crew of 4 Day Laborors and a tow behind air compressor clearing leaves. The noise was ear piercing when they would open up that valve! BUT I guess it works? I don't think it was efficiant. |

Re: Uses For An Air Compressor
We own some tools from this company. www.csunitec.com. They have quite a few tools you wouldn't think are run by air.
I have had thoughts of setting up a crew with tools all run by air. There are benefits.
