24L Stanley Bostitch Compressor

Before I stick this on Ebay, I wondered if anyone on here would like a used 240v 24l Stanley Bostitch Compressor.

I bought it new a couple of years ago, and while it has been used, it's only been in a domestic environment, for jobs on my own cars, and caravan, it still has a fair bit of life left in it and it is in pretty good condition.

As I mentioned in another post, the Big end bearing went, so after I used that as an excuse to replace the compressor with a bigger, higher air output one, I took it apart, and realised it was an easy £4 fix to push out the bearing and replace it with a brand new SLK one.

These little compressors do not have the capacity to run most of the rotatory air tools like angle grinders, cutters, and sanders for more than 20 or 30 seconds, which then means you have to stop and wait for the tank to refill, before you can do a bit more.

Basically this size of compressor is perfect for things like:-
Pumping tyres up, especially our larger 4x4 wheels.
Air line for blowing dust/gunk out.
I used it with an Impact gun, where you could do one wheel, and by the time you were ready to do the next wheel, it would be recharged, but on other nuts and bolts, that were mega tight or rusted, it could often take 2 or 3 charges before it did the job.
I used it to Waxoil both the cars.
Small spraying jobs
Nailgun
