Turning into a bit of a melt tbh. Pretty sure this is why I gave up last time I looked lol.

@RoniN Is free air CFM the same as CFM at a set pressure?

That SIP is rated 5.4 'free air' CFM and 8CFM piston displacement. The parkside one calls a litres per min measurement out at 7bar, which to me seems different again. 3.2 seems mega crap for the parkside when its rated almost identical to that SIP at 1800w / 2.5hp.

Free air delivery cfm is the volume of air that the motor will draw in from the outside atmosphere and use to charge the tank.

cfm piston displacement is the measure of how well the motor will charge the tank (in theory if the tank is fully charged and the piston displacement is 8cfm and you're using a tool that uses 8cfm, the motor has the capacity to keep the tank fully charged giving you an infinite supply)

cfm and bar (psi) are two different measurements, cfm is volume of air whereas bar (psi) is the measure of the pressure that volume of air can be delivered at.

OK ta. So the parkside yoke has 9.1CFM free air and 3.4 CFM at 100 psi. Presumably the latter rating is what the tool manufacturers state their impact guns need.

 

[RoniN]

The free air cfm is only relevant when air supply to the compressor could be limited.
It can also be used to measure how efficient the compressor motor is (high free air cfm but low output cfm = inefficient motor)

Yeah the output cfm is what manufacturers state tools need.

Lidl Lisburn nearly had more DIY stuff than food! I’ve never seen as big a range.

Loads of LED Lensers in carrick yesterday

Anyone been in recently? I'm driving past today

No head torches in either Lisburn store. Sent mum down to Holywood Exchange to check and struck gold!

I did get a couple of the torches and also a work light though. I was after a tripod rechargeable light for washing the cars at night, and spotted this. Doesn’t exactly fit my criteria but I’ll do some research and return if necessary!

Have you used the work light yet? Been toying with the idea myself for the same very reason

Yeh was in last night and they didnt have any left. They just have a load of the multi tool pliers in the spot for the Lensers.

No I’m going to take it back. I really want 1 on a stand/tripod to get it up off the ground, and ideally rechargeable too, so going to have to investigate.

Crumlin Road store has some opening deals. Multi tool and power washer, possibly the mini compressor, probably interest a few here. View attachment 312530View attachment 312531View attachment 312532View attachment 312533

Anyone know what time the opening is today? i was gonna call over for a nosey

 

[Walder]

Cheers gents saves a wasted trip

 

[thomas_lad]

Plenty in the new Crumlin Road store

Finally got the wet and dry vacuum!

Finally got the wet and dry vacuum!

i picked up one of those wee cleaning accessory kits, look handy for the car

 

[Marc C]

At what point do you stop being a customer and become an investor?! Must have shares in Parkside by this stage

Was toying with the idea of the 50L compressor but convinced myself my wee 25L is plenty for all I need. Might go back and get one of the vacuum accessory kits though, wasn’t paying attention! Lol

[weeloaney]

Got 2 plasma cutters and spare tips myself. One for me and one for work fella.

might light it up this evening lol

 

[MarkM]

Anyone seen an upright compressor very recently? Antrim And Ballymena are wiped out!

 

[gary1365]

I have absolutely no need for a welder or a plasma cutter but if I bought a plasma cutter I could buy the welder to stick the stuff back together

Plenty in Lisburn store across from Tesco.

@Walder same Lisburn store has 7 of the LED Lensers at £12.99 each.

Cheers

Do those wee cleaning attachments for other brands @Marc C ? I’ve a Karcher wet and dry that could greatly benefit from them.

It says on the box they fit other brands but im sure it'd be a lottery

It’s for my father in law. My uncle was showing me his and it was fantastic (hence me ordering this). So much easier for cutting than using a Stihl saw, and neater too,

Flip, didn’t know spare tips were needed. And Lidl have them too??

 

[MarkM]

On test

 

[Jecks]

I got the 50l compressor last year. Going great and comes In Surprisingly handy after me thinking what the hell am I buying this for.

thinking of the welder now but again I have absolutely no need for it.

 

[_James_]

Has anyone used this 50l compressor extensively yet, I’d really like one if it was up to the job of running a nailer and some spraying etc.

 

[andy9eleven]

I was in Banbridge yesterday and all the 50litre upright compressors were gone.

I lifted the last of the small 25 litre compressors but not sure whether to try and swap it at another store for the bigger one.

The more I think about it the smaller might be perfectly adequate for most tasks. Kind of confused now what to do.

I might want to spray a few things in the future but not looking to repeatedly paint cars for example.

Is the big one overkill?
