The portable compressors do vary in their size and according to their performance power. There are various types of compressors that are available and the choice depends on what tools you would be using. You must first check the strength of your tools and then select the model which would suit them the most. It is advisable to opt for a little more powerful than required so that it is always sufficient to do all your work.
Whatever type of the item do you purchase, you need to maintain some safety rules and take some precautions before starting off with the job. You should always wear goggles while working with the instruments, to protect your eyes. Protective clothing like long-sleeved shirt and full trousers should be worn while operating the equipment. Work boots or sturdy sneakers should be worn to protect the feet while working.

This type has its own engine and so it does not rely on the vehicle for its performance. The only thing they need is a maintenance and fuel input to run.

In both cases the air is stored in the holding tank and the tools are attached to it with a hose.
