Thread: Buying a compressoer,looking for 'up right' one.help needed.

I wouldn't buy any machine like a compressor from outside Australia.
Too many hassles with warranty and the US model will be a 120V so you will have to swap the motor.

You could try to locate the Ingersol Compressor distributors to the find a retailer but my guess is they will not even bother bringing that model into Australia and getting it brought in and motor changed will cost a bomb.

Was just a guide,as to what I want,not this exact one.Bur surely they must sell something like this in Australia??

Tradetools renegade range has a couple of upright compressors. They have shops in southeat qld

The Trade Tools compressors seem to have a pretty good reputation and they make smaller upright units.
Pricier than most other garden variety stuphph but I have yet to see one come up second hand and I have NEVER
seen one at the tip!! I think that speaks volumes.

The common compressors from the Big Green Rabbit hutch and other such places can be found in swarms at our tip!
