air kompressor
TDi90:
okies, chaps, i need to respray my vehicle. hence i need to borrow an air kompressor.
i went to the local hire place (HSS hire) in the new forest (just outside southampton) and asked. must be 50Ltr. they said for a day they charge £57 :shock: :shock: (not inc VAT)
now that surely is a little steep.
for a weekend they charge £77 (again not incl VAT)
is that a little high?
i mean use their hire service 3 times and i could have bought my own one!
thoughts? any other places i should try? should i bite the bullet and buy one?

Tricky one to answer :-k I would say IF you were likely to need the use of one again ( for air tools and topping up tyres ect), then i would buy one, I got by for many years without one, But am currrently "looking after" a good friends one and have used it many times, The only thing i would say is there suprisingly noisey when used @ home depending on ya situation with neighbours
TDi90:
yeah... the noise situation is not a problem.
i might have to just buy one....
Evilgoat:
I dont use mine that much rob.
Order a fan for it and you can have it for the week/weekend.
Works out about £4 for as long as you need it. Its ok for what I use it for without the fan but for spraying you'll need one.
L90OOK:
They are bound by a whole load of HSE regs that push the price up...let alone the liability insurance on the hiring! :roll:
Make sure you have a decent air drier if you are spraying :D
