Tiggie Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 @Stu a few months ago you suggested using a timer on my compressor to stop it firing up through night. I've finally got round to it 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty black and crispy when I found it. A good excuse to buy a cordless one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gas bottles would to live in an old toolsafe that I found on site recently at bottom of garden. A full compressor just makes me nervous especially as mine was secondhand (ex hire company) and I don`t know how often previous owner drained the excess water out lol.
