Compressors are true multitaskers. Paired with the right accessories, your compressor becomes more than just a tool for inflating tyres with a tyre inflator gauge – it transforms into a powerful tool for use around the house and workshop. You can choose from a variety of air-powered tools, including air grinders, staplers, impact wrenches, ratchet wrenches, chipping hammers, air blow guns, and more. Compressors are also ideal for painting and spraying, when used with spray guns, paint sprayers, or sandblasting guns.

Compressor Accessories at a Glance

Air Tools

Air tools are true all-rounders, perfect for tasks requiring power, precision, and endurance. Powered by a compressor, they are immediately ready for use and deliver consistent performance – ideal for DIY enthusiasts. Air staplers and nailers make fastening wood, fabric, or foil much easier. Sanding tools, such as orbital sanders, straight grinders, or angle grinders, ensure precise surface finishing. Impact wrenches and ratchet wrenches are indispensable for quick screwdriving tasks, such as changing tyres. For heavy-duty applications, chipping hammers are a great choice, not only for chiselling but also for removing rust when used with a needle scaler attachment. This makes your compressor at home more than just a tyre inflator – it becomes a versatile device for a wide range of tasks in your workshop and garage.

Spraying and Painting Equipment

Air-powered spraying and painting equipment are reliable tools for achieving even and precise coatings. Paint sprayers with various cup sizes and nozzles allow you to cleanly and efficiently coat both large surfaces and fine details – whether it’s furniture, fences, or car parts. Spray guns are ideal for applying wood preservatives or paints, while sandblasting guns with the appropriate abrasive can tackle even stubborn rust. An underbody protection gun helps shield your vehicle from weather damage. Compressed air finely atomises the paint or coating material, ensuring even application. This not only saves time but also delivers a professional finish.

Cleaning Accessories

With compressed air and the right air blow gun, you can quickly tidy up your workshop and garage. The powerful compressed air removes dust, chips, and dirt even from places that brooms and cloths can’t reach. Whether you’re cleaning workbenches, machinery, or hard-to-reach areas in cars, computers, or radiators, the blow gun can be adapted to any task with various nozzle lengths. Cleaning accessories are particularly practical for delicate components, such as electronics or model-building projects. The advantage: you can clean contact-free, avoiding scratches on sensitive surfaces. This keeps your workspace spotless and well-maintained.

Inflation and Tyre Accessories

With the right inflation and tyre accessories, you can quickly, easily, and precisely inflate anything that needs air. Tyre inflators with analogue or digital pressure gauges are indispensable for adjusting the pressure of car tyres, bicycle tubes, or motorcycle tyres. You can directly read the pressure and adjust it as needed. For other inflation tasks, such as balls, air mattresses, or pool toys, inflation adapters provide versatile solutions. Using compressed air is faster, more convenient, and more consistent than a hand pump. Whether in the garage or on the go, the right accessories ensure you’re fully equipped for any task, helping your tyres last longer and keeping you safe on the road.

Hoses and Connectors

Without the right hose and connectors, your compressor stays silent – only a secure connection between the compressor and air tools allows for efficient operation. Whether it’s a fabric hose, flexible coiled hose, or a hose reel with an automatic rewinding mechanism, our air hoses provide the necessary reach and mobility in your workshop. Quick couplers and adapters, such as reducers, double nipples, plug nipples, splitters, or Michelin connectors made of high-quality brass, enable you to use various air tools and make switching between tools effortless – without needing to reattach the hose each time. Why is this important? A tight connection not only ensures consistent pressure but also prevents leaks and unnecessary energy loss. Additionally, always check the size specifications (in mm or inches) and whether the connectors use internal or external threading to ensure compatibility.

Maintenance and Care Accessories

Proper maintenance is essential to ensure that your compressor and air tools function smoothly. Filter pressure regulators control air pressure while filtering out dirt particles and condensate, preventing damage and maintaining a consistent air flow – indispensable for precise work. An oil mist lubricator provides automatic lubrication for the mechanics of air tools, reducing wear and improving performance. Combo maintenance units, which combine filters, pressure regulators, and lubricators in one device, are particularly convenient. They keep your air compressor ready for use and ensure reliable performance at all times. With maintenance and care accessories, you’ll enjoy your tools and compressor for longer while also avoiding downtime.

Versatile Applications

A compressor can do much more than just inflate tyres. With the right air accessories, it becomes a versatile tool for tasks such as stapling, painting, sandblasting, or cleaning. However, not every compressor is suitable for every application. Key factors like maximum pressure, air flow rate, and tank capacity play a crucial role. Smaller compressors are perfect for simple tasks like inflating or blowing out debris. For more demanding jobs, such as painting or using an impact wrench, you’ll need a model with a higher air volume. The product information for our compressors provides helpful details about the tasks they are best suited for. This ensures you get the most out of your compressor and always have the right combination of compressor and accessories at hand.

Easy Handling

Air tools should not only be powerful but also easy to use. Practical quick couplers and adapters allow you to switch accessories in seconds – without tedious screwing. This saves time when moving from one task to the next, such as inflating tyres, blowing out debris, or painting. Key features, like a pressure gauge on the tyre inflator, help you keep an accurate eye on tyre pressure. Additionally, the compact and robust design of air tools plays a vital role. Our compressor accessories are made from durable materials and are designed to fit comfortably in your hand. This ensures you can work efficiently and comfortably, whether in the garage, workshop, or on the go.
