Air Compressors

About our range of air compressors at Halfords

Air compressors are used for providing the concentrated power that air tools need. Motorised air compressors squeeze air through a pump mechanism into a steel container, forcing it to become highly condensed. Hook up the hose to any air tool and turn it on and this highly pressurised air flows through, providing immense amounts of power and torque that make tough jobs easier.

When choosing the right air compressor you need to calculate the minimum tank size you need to run your tools. It’s simple enough to do; multiply the SCFM of your tool by 6 to get a minimum litre capacity.
