Gas Air Compressors

Gas powered air compressor vs. an electric air compressor. For garage purposes, an electric compressor will do fine. If you’re a building contractor out on a jobsite then a gas powered air compressor will be your choice. It will be your choice – electric or gas powered. Make sure you research them both because there are advantages in both of them. Gas powered compressors tend to be more portable and of course they don’t need a plug. Size and weight must be considered with all portable air compressors.

There are different shapes of compressors too. There is the pancake air compressor, hot dog air compressor, vertical air compressor and the wheelbarrow air compressor. You can get them with or without wheels. Choose one based on you portability requirements. If you need one just sitting in your garage, a vertical, hot dog or pancake will do find. They all have similar output.

Pressure requirements – consider what is needed for your project. The air compressor tank size is something that needs a hard look. The largest tank may not be needed. Figure the pressure of each tool that you will be using at the same time. Add those pressures together. Then select the portable air compressor that can handle those tools working together and not overload the compressor.
