    this is a question is for the guys working on site.
    can I use a air compressor on site as long as its 110v?
    and does the noise of the compressor have to be below a certain db? the one ive got now is 240v and its loud at 95db so im wanting to buy one for site work but I don't want it to be too loud and get kicked off site.
    its for my pneumatic floor nailer so its going to be charging up regularly

    The bigger the compressor the quieter it can be. My 25l is noisier than my 50 litre. Also the bigger volume means its not having to work as much.

    Sorry can't see why you can't use it as long as 110v.

    I've got a 240v and a 110v coming it's very quiet
    This one might be better for putting in the back of the van.

    At a guess £330 but they're worth well over that.
    I've got them to try and get a really good package together, nothing left out and will be sold as a kit initially then separates if the 2 sample sets gets good reports..

    Thought you were renting a kit?
    I could get them over sooner but that's £150 more as a single delivery for 2 units.
    I know what's going to happen, the kit will be awesome and I'll have to order more compressors quick.
    The nail guns are due very soon Merit, so if you want one I'll send you the kit until compressor turns up if you want?

    never had a problem on site with my 110v spotnails kit and thats 95db, you just might get asked to wear ear defenders depending on how precious the site agents are.
