There's virtually no maintenance, so it's no surprise they are popular. Oil-free air compressors have Teflon-coated cylinders that don't need lubrication. Indeed, these compressors are known for their long-term durability.
It's a quick and simple maintenance routine that ensures a long working life. Oil level should be checked regularly, and changed periodically. The majority of air compressors are lubricated with oil, particularly the more powerful models. Gas-powered air compressors are often big, powerful units used in commercial environments or construction sites, as well as situations where an electrical supply is unavailable. Larger electrical models may have more demanding requirements, but these are normally stationery, and more suitable for professional workshops and factories.

Though they might look very different from the outside, air compressors can be broken down into a few basic types:Īll of the portable air compressors we selected are powered by electricity, and can be plugged into an ordinary household outlet. When the pressure drops, the motor restarts automatically to refill the tank. Once the tank is full, the motor will switch off. The advantage here is that the compressor doesn't need to run all the time. In larger models, it's stored in one or more tanks. In small, cheap air compressors the air produced is used straight away – the compressor runs continually. It's very much like the engine in your car or lawn mower. In a few models, pressure is generated by a rotating impeller (it looks a bit like a fan blade), but in most it's done by a piston running up and down inside a cylinder.
A tool is attached via a reinforced hose, and a trigger opens a valve, allowing the compressed air to power the tool. Atmospheric air is pulled into a chamber, where it is compressed by a motor.
In essence, an air compressor is quite a simple mechanism. In the latter scenario, check that the compressor will produce enough air to run both tools at the same time. Air compressors with multiple outlets are useful if you swap tools frequently, or work with another person.
