Use......To pump tyres of course, blow water off cars, maybe for spraying as well?! not sure what connectors you can get for this but I do fancy buying one.

Will be from Costco as can give it back in a few years if it brakes/is crap

Perfect for just blowing tyres up, or running air brush or small staple gun but prety useless for anything decent.

There are loads like that just different brands, I've got a Stanley one, sure it was cheaper than that as well. Even with a good returns policy £95 isn't cheap.

That stanley is EX Costco stock picked that for £47, think they are pretty much generic builds with 2.5hp motor and 50ltr tank.

Halfords had the same few months ago, same price.

Will be able to spray small items with it. Won't be able to take wheels off tho. Also wont be able to keep up worth a shit. You'll notice the pressure die off pretty quick when just blowning water off cars. Ideal for small stuff tho.

Mine does, old proper compressor broke so that one is better than nothing, it does need running fairly soon after you give it any work to do but for the money its worth having.
