PARKSIDE 24 LITRE AIR COMPRESSOR REVIEW TEST, LIDL

[@SynisterNation]

The test I've been waiting for.

[@oraclescave]

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

[@paulknight6377]

As per Mr Flynn, glad that the sand gun works so well, I’ve been thinking of sand blasting my front hard rock and concrete wall which is now dirty and embedded with moss. A wire brush doesn’t touch it so this looks the perfect solution. Thanks for the video

[@oraclescave]

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. 👍👍👍

[@kitecattestecke2303]

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

[@oraclescave]

@@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. 👍👍👍

[@paulknight6377]

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

[@oraclescave]

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

[@xinixxagnix201]

2020 and still recent lol, i bought same and works great ( nailgun, spraypaint) Sandblaster i buy next time, thank you very much for this review ;)

[@oraclescave]

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. 👍👍👍

[@petergoodwin2465]

The compressor is a must have, ive got air tools everywhere . Best air tool i bought cheap was an old Chicago pneumatic air file for bodywork, makes light work on cars. The sandblaster is great, speeeds things up very quickly. Im a panel beater by trade so without a compressor you cant do much. Youll wonder why you haven't had a compressor all your life when you find other uses for it.

[@oraclescave]

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. 👍👍👍

[@petergoodwin2465]

@@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 .

[@oraclescave]

@@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

[@derjan236]

Really nice, that you make a video about that. Those parkside compressors are very rare on KZbin! 😉👍

[@oraclescave]

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

[@pr05hen]

Great video thanks. I just bought the 50l version so will be giving a go soon.

[@oraclescave]

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. 👍👍👍

[@terrygolding62]

I've had mine a few months now and used it for nailing and spraying fence panels so far as well as the pneumatic chisel I used for taking out some concrete. I just love parkside tools. Glad you put this video on about the compressor and the sand gun as I was debating the sand gun and now my mind is made up. Cheers fella.

[@oraclescave]

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. 👍👍👍

[@terrygolding62]

@@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.

I'm really damn impressed by the sandblaster. I was eyeing with it for a while but now I'm pretty convinced

[@shanefreeney1043]

Second week having mine and turned it on today..... It won't build up pressure any idea why? Or how to fix. Plug under tank is tight not leaking there

[@oraclescave]

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. 👍👍👍

[@oscarmuffin4322]

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.

[@oraclescave]

@@oscarmuffin4322 these are oiless compressors

[@oscarmuffin4322]

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.

[@oraclescave]

@@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. 👍👍👍

[@1ch1ah]

Can you use this for spraying paint? Car paint.

[@oraclescave]

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.

[@00Highlanda00]

Brilliant video bud, what is the weight of the compressor?

[@oraclescave]

About 38-40 kg 👍👍👍

[@00Highlanda00]

@@oraclescave Thank you :-)

[@edthedhlams4365]

I was impressed.

[@oraclescave]

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. 👍👍👍

[@mrkennethporter]

Hi. How much sand would you need to do a 1000cc engine?

[@oraclescave]

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.

[@spiritualcramp8000]

can you run pneumatic tools like screwdrivers etc? did you try?

[@oraclescave]

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 👍👍👍

What is the INNER diameter in millimeters of supplied hose?

[@oraclescave]

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

[@TheVFXAssault]

I know I'm late here but has anyone tried the 50l veritcal 10bar compressor and compared it to this ? I'm debating on which one to choose ..

[@TheVFXAssault]

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.

[@oraclescave]

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. 👍👍👍

I bought a Parkside A2 version from ALDI in 2016. It's run only an hour (tops I reckon) recently and it seems like the Motor has burned out already!!! Very disappointed.
