The portable compressors do vary in their size and according to their performance power. There are various types of compressors that are available and the choice depends on what tools you would be using. You must first check the strength of your tools and then select the model which would suit them the most. It is advisable to opt for a little more powerful than required so that it is always sufficient to do all your work.
Whatever type of the item do you purchase, you need to maintain some safety rules and take some precautions before starting off with the job. You should always wear goggles while working with the instruments, to protect your eyes. Protective clothing like long-sleeved shirt and full trousers should be worn while operating the equipment. Work boots or sturdy sneakers should be worn to protect the feet while working.

Types of Portable Compressors
The most commonly used air compressor is the portable rotary screw one. Their power level ranges from 65-1600 cubic feet/minute. The pressure ratings range from 100-350 PSI. The choice of compressors depends on the tools that you generally use in your workshop. Contractors generally use 185 CFM. That item is strong enough to power two tools simultaneously. It can perform well in both light and heavy-duty works.
The truck mounted compressors can be set up on the bed or under the hood. The models which can be mounted under hood are quite space-saving. The engine of the truck supplies the power for it to function and thus the cost of power is also saved to a great extent. The only problem is that the truck-engine must be kept running for the compressor to work.
The deck mounted compressors are mounted inside the truck-bed. It can be pulled out of it and left on the job site until the work is accomplished. This type has its own engine and so it does not rely on the vehicle for its performance. The only thing they need is a maintenance and fuel input to run.
There are some types of compressors that run on gasoline and there are some which runs on electricity. In both cases the air is stored in the holding tank and the tools are attached to it with a hose. The pressure which is controlled and regulated with a valve is indicated by the gauges fitted with the compressors.
