Air compressors for home garage use.
How does this look
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2312879884...84.m1423.l2649
Will it be man enough to run a air wratchet? And anything else the home mechanic could throw at it?
Or, would could anyone else recommend instead please.

I've got a Clarke SE16C150 in my workshop, my advice is get the biggest you have space for and can afford, ideally you want around 3HP with 14CFM for air driven tools.

Bit more than your budget I know but would be worth the extra. I got an almost new one on gumtree with a shed load of tools and extra air lines for £150. Still has 30 months warranty too

These are good compresors Cookstar, I spent alot of time doing my homework before buying, I know a bloke who has had his for ten years and uses it daily without it ever having had a problem.
If you can stretch the money you know know what to go for.
Also if your using a compressor for air tools you'll want one with a decent sized air receiver, around 150 liter minimum or the compressor will constantly be running.

Budgets are there to be pushed I guess.
I can't copy and paste link as I'm now on my work P.C, but I quite like the look of ebay item number 371089074751
Seems to have good spec, and only slighty more than I wanted to pay.

I would be looking for a bigger Air receiver TBH.

I bought a cheap one from lidl for about £80 similar to the one in your first link, it does work but if your doing something prolonged like painting or sand blasting it's running constantly and your always playing catch up with it waiting for it to hit 6bar min to be able to use it with any decent amount of force.
I'd sugest you spend a bit extra and get something that is a bit more up to the job with a decent sized reservoir.
