G'day MF,
I knew as someone making his first foray into getting a compressor mainly for cleaning duties, I could not go wrong with this buy and I was definitely right, for domestic duties.
I've done something similar when we needed a lowish-output compressed air source at a lab I ran, for some trials that involved bubbling air through solutions.
Supercrap had a $99 special at the time; small direct-drive compressor mounted on a tank, with an accessories kit including air blowdown nozzle, kero and paint guns, regulator etc. So I just grabbed one of those, and a longish air hose, on the company AmEx card.
The long hose was so that I could place the compressor in a far corner of the back room, and not have to put up with the noise in the lab itself!
BTW, thanks everyone for your help in understanding the uses and limitations of these airless sprayers.
De nada. They do have their uses, but fine finishes surely aren't one of them.
