Ingersoll Rand 1/2" Super-Duty Impact Wrench (ThunderGun)

A growing number of Americans are pulling the plug on their electric tools and exchanging them for air tools.

So is it time to finally make the switch?

Air compressors have become more affordable in recent years.

In addition, you can save even more by following these three steps:

1. COMPARISON SHOPPING
Many Americans miss the mark when it comes to comparative shopping.

The biggest savings comes from comparing brands - not stores. It's not worth your time and gas money, driving across town to save a few dollars.

2. RECONDITIONED COMPRESSORS
Homeowners can save an additional money by purchasing reconditioned instead of new air compressors.

Reconditioned air compressors are returned to the manufacturer by one of their retailers for a number of reasons. Most are returned with no apparent defect and little sign of use. Many, in fact, have never been used. Others show some minor use or wear.

The manufacturer tests and, when needed, services these products, guaranteeing they meet 100% of new product performance specifications. Many manufacturers even offer a one-year warranty on reconditioned machines.

Think about it. Even the most basic air compressors are designed to last hundreds of hours. A reconditioned air compressor may have been used a few hours, but it costs considerably less.

3. BUY ONLINE
Internet retailers offer three important cost-advantages:

First, Air Compressors Direct.com ships orders directly from the factory to the customer's door. By eliminating the need for warehouses and stores, they can pass considerable factory-direct savings onto the customer.

Secondly, you can save up to 8.5% (depending on your state) by simply not paying state sales tax. For example, Illinois residents would save an extra $42.50 in tax on a $500 air compressor.

Finally, many web sites are now offering free shipping on all air compressor orders. This is a great option for larger air compressors that are too big to fit in your car.

Instead of lugging it home from the store, you can reinvest the time and energy into more important things… like getting your projects done.
