That is a lot of kit for not alot of dosh
Its ok for paint spraying and small air tools.
Just one word about it, it will struggle with the inpact guns, and faid on the air ratchets, but its worth having all the same.

Im might get one of those, with the impact gun and the air ratchet and possibly the sprayer. Although if anyone has a better suggestion with regards to size of the compressor. I want it mainly for car stuff. doesnt have to be heavy duty but it will see regular use.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!

Got one of these about 6 months ago. Itl will happily sit there while you spray a large car as it auto tops itself up as you use it. the tools that come with it are also good quality and all mine still work. Pumps frontera tires up in a short time without struggling.
There made cheap abroad so there cheap for us but good quality so grab a bargain :)

I've just been handed the Aldi flyer/catalogue from a collegue.

The compressor does not come with all those accessories :cry:

It does, however come with:
  • jet blast wash gun
  • blow gun
  • paint spray gun

Get there as soon as your store opens, when things like this crop up they sell out really quickly.

For anyone interested, my local Aldi in Ilkeston still has about a dozen compressors left :wink:
I checked on the box & from what I remember it DOES contain:
Gravity feed spraygun
Normal spray gun
Air brush kit
5&10m hoses
Tyre inflator& guage
General air nozzle
and a few other bits I've forgotten :D

Im very tempted to go grab one!

Bought one with the ratchet, impact gun, drill and air saw, regulator and 1 of each of the oils. Only use its seen so far was for blowing the granite dust off the slate walls after fitting the new kitchen. Apart from the compressor's handle (tacky plastic affair) for pulling it along it seems like a fairly sturdy piece of kit.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!

the threads for the "tacky plastic handle" weren't deep enough on mine so it isn't on!! apart from that it is spot on! maybe a little more power would
be good! but for that price you can't grumble!
