Air compressors provide power to other components, typically through a single motor on the compressor that converts electric energy into kinetic energy. Compressors are found in many locations, including gas stations, manufacturing plants and even in basement workshops to power staplers, sanders, drills, nail guns and more. The largest advantage to using air compressors is that tools can plug into compressors for power rather than rely on its own motor, which increases wear and tear over the life of that tool. There also are air compressor users who appreciate not just the workmanship in vintage air compressors but the fact that many of them still work. Luckily, identifying vintage air compressors is possible. Writer Bio
