Having had what I can only describe as a complete sense of humour failure while fitting some Specialised 2Bliss tyres today (2bliss my 'bottom' 2hell and back more like 🙄 ) and the consumption of all my spare CO2 cannisters I've decided it's time I got a little compressor to spare this torture in future.

Anyone know of a small cheap one that I can get past Mrs Dweller without her throwing a fit?

I bought one of the 'Air Boxy' ones from B&Q, and it's crap, doesn't have a fast enough flow to inflate tubeless tyres most of the time, my track pump's better.

The ones from B&Q are pretty good I have one in my van for light compressor work, but if I were only buying one I'd buy something like a 2.5hp with a 25lt tank, small but powerful enough to run most equipment, because once you've bought one you start using it for more and more things then end up having to buy bigger and bigger.

These days I run a 3 phase 4hp with a 200lt tank its the mutts nuts!!
