Air Compressors & Air Tools

Drain the tank weekly (prevents rust), check oil levels (if oil-lubricated), and clean/replace the air filter monthly.

It may be overheating, the pressure switch could be faulty, or the tank may have a leak. Check for proper ventilation and inspect seals.

Pneumatic tools are lighter, more powerful, and longer-lasting but require a compressor. Electric tools are more convenient for quick jobs without needing air supply.

Drain all water, store in a frost-free area, and run the compressor monthly to prevent seal damage.
