Default I want an aircompressor

Basically for blowing out the garage, blowing water from around the headlights, etc etc after washing, dusting the car off after detailing, blowing out the interior dust.

Someone told me is you blow the door panels, or dash or whatever, clean with your favourite leather/vinyl cleaner and then blow again, it forces the product deeper into the crevices

I was wondering about this one http://www.canadiantire.ca/assortments/pro...3;7205!7305
I know I can't blow my underground sprinklers out in the fall with this one, but wondered if it was an ok one for basics.

maybe this link will work http://www.canadiantire.ca/index.jsp;jsess...3;7205!7305
it is left side at the bottom

Shel,

Link doesn't work BTW. I have a 10 gallon jobbie from Canadian Tire, and I'm hoping to use it to blow out my sprinkler lines in the fall?

For odd jobs around the garage mine is just fine, and if I recall correctly, I got a free accessory kit when I bought mine. Watch out for those offers that come up from time to time!

Good luck!
Asif

The thing is to get a good one you have to spend 300 dollars. This guy is on sale for 70, regular 159

Shel,

How many gallon/HP? For $70 tho, you really can't go wrong for what you need it for.

Good luck!

Your better off with a leaf blower than a compressor to dry the car.

One that small will not work too well as the compressor will have to run most of the time because the tank is so small - which will burn out the compressor....
