Thanks everyone for the comments on the compressor and tools kit. I
bought it last weekend. I don't think I mentioned this, but it is a
"Husky" brand. The tools look small and perhaps a little underpowered,
but I expect they will work OK for most jobs on an MG!
The compressor has a built-in regulator -- it compresses the tank to
150lbs and then has an adjustable output pressure. One minor problem:
the power lead is *very* thick and comes with a warning not to use
extension leads -- but the lead is only 3 feet long! I plan to find a
short and fat extension lead.
A couple of questions: the tank has a water drain at the bottom. How
often should I open this and drain the tank? I live in California, so
the humidity is pretty low most of the time. How often do air tools
need oiling?
All in all, I think it is pretty good value for $300.
