I need an air compressor. Which should I get?
I just need a reliable low cost air compressor to inflate auto tires. I was thinking of Walmart or Home Depot. Which should I get? What do you use? TIA! |

I need an air compressor. Which should I get?
On the other hand, if you are cramped for space and budget, wait for a
sale and get a small, Black and Decker electric compressor for (hopefully much) less than $49 that can work off of either 110 VAC or 12 VDC and has attachments for beach balls, air mattresses, palates balls, and of course, auto/bike tires. Mine has thus far lasted a couple of years and with 5 cars and a tractor mower it has had plenty of use.
