I want to run my compressor which operates from my car's power source in the house using regular house current. Is this the right tool??

Don't think this has enough power. My iPhone would not even work with this.

i wouldn't recommend this at all. First time i tried using it the light indicating that it is working went on, and then went right back off and it never worked again...

This compressor does not have car outlet plug. It draws more current than most car outlets can support. It attaches directly to the car battery. There are other models that have outlet plugs if that is your preference. It is not meant for your home outlet either as it is a12V DC unit.

The compressor is designed to run on 12-volt DC and comes with clamps to attach to a standard 12-volt battery. It works very well, but I don't think you could operate it with a reasonable sized transformer. I suspect the amp load is fairly high. Hope this helps.

On paper, yes, with enough amps left over for other devices. In reality, this compressor will probably have a hard time and might get damaged. See Del's answer. Also this only supplies 120 volts, so make sure you don't need 240.

It draws 14 amps, so it will work from just about any outlet w/o tripping the house breakers. I used my compressor in virtually every room in my house, while installing 3/4" hardwood flooring (very demanding task for any portable compressor) and never had an issue. This has been a great little workhorse for all my DIY projects and have never had an issue, sans a very rare thermal trip breaker on the compressor when I get a little too demanding. It's a safety feature so you don't overheat the motor. It's a cinch to reset though. Hope this helps.

I am currently using this compressor for automotive air tools, and it powers everything I connect to it with no problem. If you are using multiple nailers off one compressor, you may need to check the usage on the guns to see if it exceeds the output of the compressor.

110 volt. 12.3 AMP - this is standard US household current, but it draws a significant amount of power (draws over 12 amps off of the standard home socket of 15 amps, so you wont run other items off of that circuit while the compressor is running.).

Yes. This compressor will run any air tool you would like. I run impacts, cutoff tools, sand blasters, air saws, die grinders, nail guns and all sorts of things off of it. It just need to run the motor more to keep filled since it's smaller. Not a huge deal just let it cool down periodically.

The maximum start up amps would be 15 - according to the plug. Although it probably uses only 8 amps. When the compressor is running about 3-4 amps according to our electrician.

I use mine to power a heater which is a 14 Amp (I believe) and have used it both with the car running or not.

depends on the amp draw of the compressor, this device is only recommended for 1 amp max.

The issue comes down to what kind of startup load does a refrigerator compressor require. You aren't just starting the electronics, you are starting a motor. This type of device was not designed for that type of load. I would not try it for anything that requires that much initial current.

Automotive Tools Distributor. It's their brand and no you cannot use electricity to power it. You need an air tank.

good day, no this ac compressor is not the correct one. here is the link to the correct compressor. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KFS1TFW if you have any question please feel free to ask us.

This is for controlling dc current motors. The tools you asked about are ac.

Yes, the cable should be fine to run your air compressor. Plus it has a fuse to protect it from being overloaded.

This compressor clips directly to the car battery. It draws 30A and has it's own fuse. That's what makes this such a powerful 12V compressor. The one that plug into the cigarette lighter outlet typically draw <15A, which means that they have 1/2 as much power and will take twice as long to do the same job. It's sorta like the difference of filling up a swimming pool with a 1/2" hose or a 1" hose...... take the 1" hose....trust me..... :-)
