Using an air compressor can be handy for many applications but you can still make it even easier for yourself with a few simple tips and tricks. If the air compressor doesn't reach the area in which you're working, add more hose rather than extensions cords so that the voltage doesn't drop, and you can still maintain full power. Additionally, you should empty the tank at the end of the day to prevent rust that may lead to the tank rupturing. It may also go without saying, but it's important that air compressors are kept away from kids who may accidentally spray themselves or others at high pressure which can cause bodily harm particularly if it picks up any metal particles.
