PARKSIDE 24 LITRE AIR COMPRESSOR REVIEW TEST, LIDL 

It's an excellent little set up. Glad the video helped you find what you were looking for Paul. I clean up all my motorbike and car parts with this blaster and it does a perfect job. 👍👍👍

Pressure wash it with a quality kercher high pressure washer..you won't be disappointed

@@kitecattestecke2303 yes I would have to agree. If its moss removed from concrete, jet washing it would be a better way to tackle it. Off in minutes plus the water would just evaporate, as where blasting it, you would be left with a hell of a mess to clean up. 👍👍👍

Simba Fishtigre hi, I’ve tried that with and without the karcher stone cleaner but although it gets some of it off it still doesn’t succeed, so I thought maybe try sand blasting. But thanks for your reply

@@paulknight6377 if jet washing doesn't work, sand blasting definitely will get rid of it. 👍👍👍

Yes it's an awesome little kit, I was looking into the nail gun myself, I might just pick one up, it's so much easier than trying to get a nail in while trying to hold the workpiece. And when people are not around, you get to shoot it around the hut like a gun lol. 👍👍👍

Thanks Mr Flynn, it's a decent little tool that doesn't steal too much space, still capable of doing much bigger jobs with some couple of minute pauses, manageable in my book because I'm always taking breaks anyway lol All the best Darren

Definitely, I thought pumping up tyres and occasional sand blasting, but it gets used for loads of things, I'm only just coming across all the types of sanding tools that are air powered, and I'm ready to make the crossover. Lots of tools that I have could be changed out for air tools and save me some extra space, and they also do a better job much faster than anything i have, with minimal effort to switching out sandpaper and tools. Even the wife requests the use of the compressor at times, and she is scared of power tools. This will be powering the plasma cutter when it's up and running aswell. 👍👍👍

@@oraclescave yes mate i cant Wait To See the plasma cutter going. I had to make some interior parts for my old chrysler regal se out of stainless steel went through about ten jigsaw blades and ended up taking the parts to work to use their plasma cutter. Took ten minutes to cut 8 parts out ,using a jigsaw on one part was two hours and over $50 in blades . Stainless steel is so hard but the plasma cutter flys through it. Knew youd love the compressor. Great stuff mate .

@@petergoodwin2465 I have an evolution mitre saw that cuts through everything, plastic, wood, metal, stone, brick, aluminium. It's good for cutting bars in straight cuts but the plasma cutter was for the more serious chunks and free hand cuts rather than straight angles. And using the plasma cutter can cut back on lots of other work by just hacking it out of the way lol

Thank you, and it's awesome for sand blasting stuff and etching 👍👍👍

Much appreciated Tezza That little sandblaster is awesome and fast at making things look new again. I even made a blasting cabinet from a plastic storage container and a L.E.D light, so I could re-use my blasting material. 👍👍👍

@@oraclescave Excellent idea. When I can get my hands on one I was thinking of doing the same type of thing. Sad part is when I got the compressor and other tools I picked the blaster up then decided against it at the time. Have to wait until the middle at Lidl have them in again.

@@terrygolding62 Ebay sell them too 👍👍👍

you all prolly dont care at all but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my password. I would love any assistance you can give me!

@Greyson Eduardo Instablaster =)

Thanks, yours should have a bit more grunt and last longer, I'm sure you will be more than happy with it, it a wicked little machine. 👍👍👍

Yes very good bit of kit, I will ne building a sand blasting cabinet and purchasing another gun for safe keeping, that's how good it is. 👍👍👍

Much appreciated £90 👍👍👍

You are welcome Hitardo, and thanks for commenting to let me know it was helpful, you will like this compressor, it does everything you ask it to. 👍👍👍

Me too It would take me days and days of wire brushing and sandpaper to get an engine partially clean so I could paint. But this blaster can turn a full engine, brand new Looking in every tight space in minutes, with no need to paint to hide bad spots, much better for keeping air cooled engines cooler with no paint. But just simply amazed how good this cheap set up actually works. 👍👍👍

If possible I would return it for replacement or refund. Sometimes cheaper end compressors have weak copper piston ring type seals Yours might have folded causing lack of build up. Replacing the piston is the only other way to fix really. Not a hard job, but shouldn't have to do it after 2 weeks. Mine still works and I have been doing a lot of sand blasting with it. Running them for a long time without a cool down period is not advised. Or having it constantly refilling, small motors with no oil,overheat easily. Which normally causes the piston seal to fold. Rebuild kit should be pennies, and take you an hour to fix if you go slow. 👍👍👍

Did you chuck the oil in it? Comes with a 250ml bottle of 15w40 mineral oil. Around 200ml brings it to the middle of the sight-glass.

@@oscarmuffin4322 these are oiless compressors

You pointed out the sight-glass yourself before removing the oil plug..... My manual states that it takes 0.25 liters of 15w40 mineral oil.

@@oscarmuffin4322 good point, but no I never received any oil with mine. I will check mine again and top up because its had a decent bit of use, and I dont want it to break. 👍👍👍

Depends, maybe a few small bags/bottles, you can use a sieve to filter the grit and re-use the same grit. Some people just buy a bag of Childs playsand and dry it out and use that. Probably get it very cheap and you would have a decent supply left for other stuff.

Thanks Luke Much appreciated 👍👍👍

Yes, much larger tanks are used so there is a constant supply all the time. But if you were doing smaller areas at a time this machine would be fine, decent power. For big areas the machine would need to refill lots of times, but if you done a bonnet or a door sized target at a time this would be more than enough.

About 38-40 kg 👍👍👍

@@oraclescave Thank you :-)

Or also the quiet 68db version of the small guy. I might need to just go and buy it and see how loud is it really.

I would go bigger, when it comes to air compressors, bigger is almost always better. Stronger tools run longer before refilling, I personally get RAGE MODE ACTIVATED, when compressors refill lol The less it happens the better. 👍👍👍

You should, it's a modern day MAGIC WAND lol Turns an engine into new, faster than you could make a cup of TEA. 👍👍👍

@@oraclescave haha brill mate I've a wee brake caliper would look mint with a sandblast and seal rebuild

@@ryanrepairs6944 I bet a million bucks you don't stop at the calipers lol Caliper carriers Bolts Shock ends Old tools And even things that don't need to be done, and things you are not even supposed to sandblast lol On an extra note, if you put a sticker on glass, then blast it, remove the sticker for glass etching signs. Always a winner with the Mrs

@@oraclescave class thanks didn't actually know that :) subscribed subscribed you mate good content

I have used an air ratchet on it, and it manage to take a motorbike apart with zero issues other than refilling with air, but was more than capable, and an air chisel for cleaning cement from old bricks, and again zero issues. Hope this helps 👍👍👍

@@oraclescave hell of a parkside! i dunno where you are but here in Italy Lidl are selling the new 50 lt. Parkside for 119 bucks and damn if i'm not going to get one.

@@oraclescave ...and thanks

@@spiritualcramp8000 very good compressor, and I'm in Scotland 👍👍👍

@@oraclescave i was guessing if you have ''lidl'' marts overthere. they sell the 50 lt and all the Parkside at good price.... With the Hearts of Lothiaaaann...

I'm sure its 25mm clear pneumatic hose and it's a couple of mills thick so it's probably 23mm inside diameter. 👍👍👍

Electric 240 volts 👍👍👍

Cool Just have to wait for Lidl to get some in again. Thanks for the reply

£89.99 I think you can get it cheaper on ebay now. 👍👍👍

Yes, very good 👍👍👍

@@oraclescave Thanks.

Must have been my James Bond accent lol Maybe one day PARKSIDE might just get in touch and I would have no other option but to do business with them, very happy with most of their tools, great price and do what they say on the TIN. ATB Darren
