well, for one you can use it to run your air tools, ratchet, impact
wrench etc, as well as fill up your tires, blow out the garage with a
air nozzle, and generally wreak havoc with the cat. IMHO once you use
an air ratchet for the first time, you will wonder what you did without
it all these years.

Subject: Question re: sandblasting
I am considering buying a portable sandblaster similar to the ones
available
in the Harbor Freight catalog (www.harborfreight.com) to aid in the
frame-off restoration of my '72 TR6.
Considering that I would need to buy an air compressor as well as the
sandblasting unit, is this additional cost and equipment worth it to be
able
to sandblast the frame, suspension parts, the tub, etc. as opposed to
stripping parts with a wire wheel attached to a drill? Is sandblasting
that
much better?
In addition to sandblasting and spraying paint, what other uses can a
compressor be put to in the complete restoration of a car? Can you tell
I'm
looking for justification to make this purchase?
