Why You Need An Air Compressor

Sure, the average do-it-yourselfer can get along without an air compressor. The real question, though, is why would he want to? Even if you're just a casual handyman, you'll get those occasional home repair jobs done more quickly and less expensively with Campbell Hausfeld air tools than you would with electrically powered tools. And for heavy-duty users, there's the Extreme Duty line, with top-of-the-line engineering and performance suited for industrial and professional work sites.

Versatility

You can run an amazing variety of power tools using a single Campbell Hausfeld compressor. Everything from sandblasters and spray guns to drills and die grinders can be attached or removed from your compressor in a matter of seconds. Campbell Hausfeld also offers more than 70 air tools.

Economy and Power

Compared to electric power tools, Campbell Hausfeld air tools save you both time and money. The initial cost of an air tool is significantly lower than its electrically powered counterpart, and the average life is longer. Air tools also deliver more torque and higher revolutions-per-minute than electric tools, helping you complete your jobs more quickly and effectively.

Matching Air Compressors And Air Tools

All Campbell Hausfeld air compressors feature an Air Delivery rating that signifies a specific model's output power. To ensure proper performance from your air tools, use only tools with Air Requirement ratings less than the Delivery rate of your compressor.

What is the difference between peak and continuous running horsepower (HP)?

The running HP of an electric motor is a rating that defines how much work the motor can do on a steady state basis. The HP rating is just one piece of information about an air compressor. Campbell Hausfeld provides airflow specifications, such as CFM and pressure ratings, and other product information to help you match an air tool or application to the appropriate air compressor.

Standard Duty

Choosing the Campbell Hausfeld air compressor that's right for you will largely depend on how often you plan to use it. The Standard Duty line of compressors is designed for occasional use in the home, garage, or workshop. These models are designed to last for approximately 1,000 hours of use and produce only a moderate level of noise.

Serious Duty

Campbell Hausfeld designed their Serious Duty line of compressors for frequent use on the farm, automotive garage, or job site. These units run at a relatively quiet noise level and provide up to 2,000 hours of operation.

Extreme Duty

The Extreme Duty line of compressors from Campbell Hausfeld are top-of-the-line models. Designed for daily use in industrial areas, automotive garages, and professional work sites. Depending on the model you select, an Extreme Duty air compressor will give you 2,000 to 3,000 hours of use and operate at quiet to very quiet noise levels.
