Can the air compressor be used as an air spray? Like an air duster.

no its not for much other than emergency tire inflation. It doesn't even do that quickly.

There are some significant differences between using an air compressor versus using spray cans. Pros: Air flow with a compressor is much more constant than spray cans and an airbrush can be much more accurate (with practice). Cons: Cleaning your airbrush is required to keep it functioning well. The compressor generates heat over time so you have to take breaks. I primarily use this to paint Warhammer miniatures, and I am very satisfied with its performance so far.

Yes. This gun is a high volume low pressure gun. Small projects like your talking about is perfect for the air compressor your using.

I wouldn't think so. I have not done any spray painting so a Iam by no means an expert. I would think the key to even application of paint is constant pressure. This compressor cycles frequently to keep pressure in the tank. Note I am using for airing up automobile tires. Spray painting may draw less volume down and thus the compressor maybe fine depending on the air requirement of the paint spray gun. Good Luck

Sure. Just don't hold the trigger down for too long or freezing cold liquid will spray out. If the can gets too cold, it'll do that. Pretty much all air dusters do this but this brand does it a little faster than higher quality brands. It's all the same.

I would guess not. You need to check the continuous air requirements of the sprayer and compare to the compressor. This is great for nail guns which need small bursts of air, and even for that it needs to cycle more often.

I bought mine to use for air-brushing my model cars and I love it. It is super-quiet and fills the tank in seconds! It is by far the best compressor I've ever had for my hobby-work! (I've had at least 5 others).

Sorry I cannot say if it would work as an air can, I was trying to use it to spray 10wt oil and it didn't work at all for that.

I use it with a nail gun and it works fine. The compressor starts up to replenish air quite often but it is really quiet. I like it.

No, It wont work for paint job. Usually paint sprayer are set at lower psi than nailers but even with that on your favor this compressor will not keep up with the supply needed for paint sprayer.

I haven't done it...but this is one impressive little compressor, the fact that it runs 200 lbs. pressure makes a big difference in how often it runs. If there are small compressors that will do what you want, I'd be willing to bet this is one of them....it has no problem running impact guns and they use a ton of air.........lee

Umm, seriously? Hello? Air powered tools require compressed air. Duh If you have another source of compressed air other than an air compressor, go for it.

I don't see why you couldn't. I typically use it to spray finish on scroll saw projects and it works great for that. I would practice on a sample piece to get your air pressure adjusted correctly. Good luck!

The air hose has a standard quick release. You could connect any air operated device. The compressor does not have much of a storage tank so I don't think you would get a prolonged high pressure blast from it but it might work if you just need to blow something out quickly. You would be better off with a compressor with a large tank if you need lots of high pressure air for cleaning or running air tools. This compressor is really for inflating tires and does that extremely well.

The pressure is contingent upon your compressor AS WELL as the attachment fittings. I have this rig myself and I would venture to guess you could. It's not a good unit for ceiling spraying however.

Although I have not used it for this purpose I suppose it could be used where lower pressure bursts may be useful or even desired. Compressed air cans are going to provide a much stronger stream of air than the Rocket Air Blaster simply because the amount of air held in its bulb does not allow for strong or extended air bursts. If you are looking to remove dust from a small area or one that requires a gentler burst this could work well.

You could, but I'd be very careful because there is NO air filter. That would not be a good addition to this blower/vac. It doesn't have a filter because the area that the filter would be in is also the area that grinds up the leaves in the vacuum mode. An air filter would also slow down the blower because there would be a restrictive filter in the way of the air input to the blower. It is a leaf Blower/vac after all. It works great for that purpose.
