An air compressor is basically a compressor that captures air and increases the amount of air in a particular space at atmospheric pressure and delivers it at a higher pressure. By contracting the air inside, the air pressure is increased which in turn creates energy that is useful for various industrial, manufacturing, commercial or personal purposes.
Air compressors are more essential than merely pumping up tires. These adaptable tools can also power nail guns, spray guns, and many other tools and machinery. The functionality of these machines is like lungs of the human respiratory system. For example, when you take a deep breath to blow out candles on your birthday, you're increasing the air pressure comprising in your lungs. Similarly, air compressors effectively use the force of air to produce energy for various equipments.

Following are the types of air compressors:
o Piston-Type Compressors
These type of compressors have in-built tanks which store compressed air. The motor automatically shuts down when the pressure in the tank crosses a particular set level. As the air is used up from that tank, the pressure inside falls down and the motor starts to rebuild the pressure again. The specified pressure settings can be adjustable to the operator's requirements accordingly.
There are mainly two kinds of piston compressors:
o Single-Stage Compressors
These type of piston compressors have only one piston that compresses and releases air to the in-built storage tank. Single-stage compressors are usually utilized by home users with a maximum level of 150 pounds of pressure per square inch, essentially meant for light-duty compressors.
o Two Stage Compressors
Unlike single-stage compressors, such compressors include two pistons that compress and release air to the storage tank. The first piston compresses the air and passes it to the second piston, through a check valve and the second one compresses air even further and eventually delivers it to the storage tank.
o Compact Air Compressors
Unlike piston compressors, compact compressors are the smallest and lightest available category. These compressors don't store air as they do not have an in-built storage tank and run continuously to supply air. Such compressors are utilized in glue guns and small spray guns.
Depending on the type of these, they can be used in various ways. It can be used to compress air to alter the chemical composition during the process of making fertilizers or it can also be used to maintain industrial plants and machinery. One of the most common uses of these is in the case of tools like staplers, spray guns, sanders, nail guns, etc.
Operation costs of compressor can be high depending on the type of compressor you end up purchasing for your industrial plant maintenance. While these machines may require running on manual labor, most of them are functional on either electricity or natural gas. Natural-gas compressors are undoubtedly more cost-effective.
With the amount of information available on selected online portals, you can easily get a fair idea about the prices. But we suggest you to compare brands instead of prices as they can vary greatly which could result into unnecessary expenditure.

DEWALT DCK280C2 20-Volt MAX Li-Ion 1.5 Ah Compact Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit Overview
This kit includes a 20V MAX 1.5 Ah Li-Ion compact drill driver, a 20V MAX 1.5 Ah Li-Ion 1/4-in impact driver, two 20V MAX 1.5 Ah Li-Ion battery packs, two belt hooks, a charger, and a contractor bag.DEWALT DCK280C2 20-Volt MAX Li-Ion 1.5 Ah Compact Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit Specifications
DEWALT’s DCK280C2 20-volt max lithium-ion compact 1.5 Ah drill and impact driver combo kit combines the fast performance of the DCD780 1/2-inch drill/driver and the compact power of the DCF885 1/4-inch impact driver to provide a well-rounded pair of tools that help everyone from steel stud framers and contractors to cabinetmakers and plumbers work their way through a variety of applications.

 This kit's impact driver features a one-handed loading 1/4-inch hex chuck that accepts and holds 1-inch bit tips (view larger). |
DEWALT has optimized both of these tools to withstand daily jobsite wear and tear. The compact drill/driver’s two-speed (0-600 RPM and 0-2,000 RPM) transmission allows users to select the appropriate speed for the task at hand and is up to 30 percent faster than current drill/drivers on the market. Its high-power, high-efficiency motor delivers 350 unit watts out of maximum power for superior performance in light and medium drilling applications. A 1/2-inch ratcheting chuck with carbide inserts provides superior bit-gripping strength—reducing slippage during high-torque applications—thus providing longer tool life. Plus, DEWALT’s engineering and design team adjusted the drill/driver’s footprint and weight allocation for ideal balance and a lightweight feel, making the 3.4-pound tool easy to maneuver in tight areas. Meanwhile, the impact driver’s robust motor delivers 2,800 RPM—up to 43 percent faster than current impact drivers on the market. Its one-handed loading 1/4-inch hex chuck accepts and holds 1-inch bit tips for convenient fastening in tight spaces. Research shows that impact drivers are growing in popularity largely because of their smaller size and lack of kickback (or reactionary torque) thanks to the impact mechanism within the tool. Combined with its 5.55-inch length and 2.8-pound weight, the compact impact driver packs a serious punch in a small package.
Endurance and Ease of Use
DEWALT-designed electronics have been built into both tools’ switches to provide maximum life for the tools and batteries by helping to protect them from overheating, overloading, and deep discharge during use. The- 20-volt’s lithium-ion batteries provide up to 35 percent more runtime than existing 18-volt lithium-ion battery technology, and the included Energy Star-qualified charger has dual voltage capabilities and it is compatible with both 12-volt max and 20-volt max DEWALT lithium-ion batteries. The tools’ slim handles fit easily into users’ hands, increasing the level of comfort during the course of long jobs, and the bright built-in LED work lights above the triggers have a 20-second delay that improves visibility in dimly lit spaces.
