When buying an air compressor, cost should be a central concern. However, bear in mind that factors such as whether the compressor will be used for light or heavy duty work; portability; the number of users operating different tools; noise levels, etc also need to be taken into consideration. These factors will have an impact on the selection available to you, but consider that second hand/refurbished purchases and rentals are always an option too.
