This convenient, easy-to-use online guide is designed to help you choose the right air compressor, whether your project is for around your house, your car or your shop.

Is it time to inflate your car and bike tires? Perhaps you’d like to put up some molding or do some reupholstery. You may even like to do some air brushing.

There are several types of air compressors designed for home projects such as inflation, nailing, stapling and air brushing. Typically these compressors are easy to carry around the house and garage. Also, they are easy to store and come with accessories you need to get started.

Campbell Hausfeld offers air compressors for a variety of home and car care projects. Look in our Residential Air Compressors section for compressors under 5 gallons. These are designed for inflation, nailing and stapling.

Ready to tackle that auto repair or maintenance project? Perhaps you need to remove your tire lug nuts or install some nuts and bolts.

For heavier-duty home and auto projects, you want to make sure your air compressor delivers enough air for your air tools. For example, air sanders require more air than an impact wrench.

One of the best ways to make sure you choose the right compressor is to locate the SCFM rating of your air tools. For example, if your ˝” impact wrench requires approximately 4.8 average SCFM at 90 PSI, you want to make sure the compressor delivers at least that amount of SCFM.

Campbell Hausfeld offers a wide assortment of air compressors designed for home and garage projects.

For inflation and some automotive work, such as using impact wrenches, ratchets, drills and spray guns, look in our Residential Air Compressors section for compressors over 5 gallons, where model numbers begin with "WL" and "HL".

If you plan to use higher air consumption tools such as air sanders we recommend Residential Air Compressors section for compressors over 20 gallons, where model numbers begin with "VT".

You likely need an air compressor to run on a frequent basis, perhaps even every day. In order to keep up with your jobs, we recommend the higher output air compressors in our Commercial Air Compressors section.
