Looking for recommendations to go shopping for an air compressor and associated add-ons. The key add-on would be an air-operated jack for jacking up the car. Beyond that, a general purpose air compressor for the occasional car or bike tire that needs air. Long term, the possibility of an add on for a paint gun, or even pneumatic drill might exist, although they’re not needed now.
Ever since winter tires became mandatory where I live, most shops doubled the prices they charge to swap summer to winter tires. Since both my sets of tires are on their own wheels, for the past couple years I’ve just jacked the car up in the garage and changed the tires. I’m using the scissor jack that came with the car, and I’ve got two solid jack stands to bear the weight for safety. But it is a bit of a pain jacking up all 4 wheels, twice each year. If there was an inexpensive option for a pneumatic jack that would make the job a bit easier, I’d like to look into it. Last winter I did some shopping online but didn’t find anything that was highly recommended at a good price.
Thanks for any suggestions
