Had it for some years now and as not overused it continues to work very well. Ideal for cars, bikes, wheelbarrows and even inflating paddling pools.

This unit couldn’t be simpler. It’s a great unit to get started with and the manual is extremely well written. The unit comes with quick connection and a carrying handle, only the latter needs installing. The unit is noisy, I wouldn’t use this indoors if someone wanted a quiet moment. But it’s reasonably quick to get filled and the pressure control is easy to use. There is a drain port at the bottom of the unit for easy draining of moisture. My only negative (but it’s serious one) is that the safety pressure relief valve is different in the manual to the unit, making for some confusion.

I love this little unit. I have a 100L SIP unit in my workshop that feeds various airlines around the shop but is, as you can imagine, hardly portable. Most of my finish nailers (18g and 23g guns) are air operated and so any jobs outside of the workshop (e.g. new skirting boards in the house) were a bit of an issue. But no longer is this the case. It charges up quickly and holds air very well for extended periods. Auto start/stop as expected and does not run hot at all (like a previous reviewer stated) and I can usually fire around 70-80 18g brads before it needs to refill. Noise is... well it's a compressor, they will never be silent, but I did expect it to be noisier than it is, it's only marginally noisier (I'd say high pitched rather than loud) compared to the SIP unit which is about 10 times the size of motor. Well worth the cost and has made portable air nailers a reality for me.

Arrived as shown in the advert and only required handle assembly. THERE IS NO HOSE WITH IT and you need to buy the appropriate connectors. Works well although tank capacity is limited and in order to pump up 4 tyres it needs to be connected to an extension lead. As others have said it is noisy and you would want to use it in a confined space for very long. Overall good value for money and appears to be well built.

A good bit of kit then again they do make good gear

Use this for work in the fields - or in the yard. On the farm it’s common for equipment to pick up a puncture on a trailer or quad bike. I have the compressor in the back of the pick-up and can then use it to power an air jack as it stores enough air in the tank to operate the jack without power. Only problem is I tripped over it the other day and broke the top housing and handle but the great thing with Draper is all spares are readily available and very decent priced - a new housing and handle was around €15 total

18/06/25 Item arrived today . Box looked as if had been opened and resealed . So i un packed ,switched-on to see if it worked . Seems to be ok but very noisey. Cant be bothered returning it as i hv a job that needs done. Didnt consider the noise before buying or might not hv got this.

I am using this for inflation of tubeless bike tyres, road, cyclocross and mountain bike. So far it has seated well some difficult to seat tyres much more reliably than a more standard pump with pressure chamber. I couple of older tyres still won’t seat and will the continuous airflow it is easy to see they will never seat than with my old method. Quite noisy but nice and small
