I love this little unit. I have a 100L SIP unit in my workshop that feeds various airlines around the shop but is, as you can imagine, hardly portable. Most of my finish nailers (18g and 23g guns) are air operated and so any jobs outside of the workshop (e.g. new skirting boards in the house) were a bit of an issue.But no longer is this the case. It charges up quickly and holds air very well for extended periods. Auto start/stop as expected and does not run hot at all (like a previous reviewer stated) and I can usually fire around 70-80 18g brads before it needs to refill.Noise is… well it’s a compressor, they will never be silent, but I did expect it to be noisier than it is, it’s only marginally noisier (I’d say high pitched rather than loud) compared to the SIP unit which is about 10 times the size of motor.Well worth the cost and has made portable air nailers a reality for me.

Use this for work in the fields – or in the yard. On the farm it’s common for equipment to pick up a puncture on a trailer or quad bike. I have the compressor in the back of the pick-up and can then use it to power an air jack as it stores enough air in the tank to operate the jack without power. Only problem is I tripped over it the other day and broke the top housing and handle but the great thing with Draper is all spares are readily available and very decent priced – a new housing and handle was around €15 total

Great little compressor, bit noisy when compressing the air, but that’s to be expected, great price and quite portable, I would highly recommend.

Much lighter and smaller than my Tiger 7/250. 7.7 kgs v 22.7 kgs. 6.5 vs 7.8 cfm. More expensive option – Clarke Bandit. 16 kgs 4.2 cfm 8 litres. No contest!All quite noisy Draper 94db, Bandit 94db, Tiger 96db.One thing I noticed though is my Draper doesn’t have an air filter. Not in parts list either. 1/4″ bsp (12 – 13mm) fittng. That would not only make it quieter but would also make it last longer. Quite cheap to buy generic one. Currently £8.59 a pair. Only a handfull of jis screws hold the plastic cover on so easy to fit.

Brought this compressor along with items below for spray painting (there is no way of attaching the 5 piece air tool kit with purchasing the air line connectors as well) .Draper 81508 5 Piece Air Tool Kit, 230 V, Various ColoursManLee 10Pcs Air Line Connectors 1/4″ BSP Euro Airline Hose Compressor Fittings Air Coupler and Plug Kit Male Female Thread Quick Release Connector Fittings Setkuou 100PCS Disposable Paint Paper Strainers with 1 PCS Mesh Paper Paint Filters, Cone Paint Strainers Folding Funnel Collapsible FunnelTogether this is a great little package for spray painting decorative metal railings (the ones with numerous swirls). The compressor is small and compact (can hold it in one hand and spray in other if you wanted), the compressor wasn’t on all the time when spraying either , there is plenty of adjustment on the spray gun to get a descent fan. All in all a very good system that will be great at many different DIY jobs (air nailing etc) thumbs up from me

Exactly as it should

The compressor I have had for years and used for blowing away dust from filters, pumping up tyres and spraying died on me, as I am now retired and not so busy I got one of these as a substitute for my bigger old one, but found this can do it all as well as the one I had. I am well pleased.

Bought this mainly for inflating my motorbike tyres but I have also used it on my truck, my bicycles and also for blowing out dust on IT equipment. It’s brilliant. Has a good gauge. Perfect for the home garage or workshop.

My husband was very pleased with this purchase as it was desperately needed – we live on a smallholding on the fringes of Dartmoor.
