Key information
Yellow tools require further training. Training will be available either in the form of a bookable tool training session, or by dropping into the space and making an arrangement with a technician.
An air compressor is a machine that takes ambient air from the surroundings and discharges it at a higher pressure. It converts mechanical power (from an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in compressed air, which has many uses. Our air compressor uses an electric motor.
