Are you constantly jumping from one project to the next? Do you love the feeling of getting things done around the house? When you’re doing your projects, are you making sure that you’re using the right tools? When you don’t use the right tools for the job, you’ll likely find that it takes much longer than you expected and it isn’t always done as well as you’d like it to be. 

That’s why you should rely on an air compressor to help you finish your tasks. They can cut down the time it takes you to do your task and reduce the strain on your body. If you don’t own an air compressor and don’t have the space to store one, even if you could buy one, don’t worry. Many home repair shops offer air compressor rentals Jacksonville FL at affordable prices. Here are some times you should always use an air compressor. 

1. Painting Cabinets

Painting any surface will be much faster and cleaner with an air compressor, but it’s vital to use one if you paint your cabinets. Even if you use a foam roller or one with a thin nap, you’re still going to see the strokes. Furthermore, you’re going to have to go in with a brush to get corners and creases where the walls come together. 

When you use an air compressor, you can lay down one even coat of paint that covers all parts of the cabinet. You also don’t have to worry about one area having a thicker layer of paint than another because you aren’t using different mediums to spread the paint. 

2. Installing Trim

If you use a hammer and nailset to install trim, you have spent hours longer on the project than you needed to. With an air compressor and a nail gun, you could have installed all of the trim in your home in the time it took you to do a room or two by hand. 

The nail guns are so powerful that they automatically recess the nails, so you don’t have to go back over them with a nailset. Once you get everything up, you can go back with some wood filler to cover the nails. 

3. Car Repairs

When you work on a car, much of your time is spent trying to free stuck-on bolts. The stuck bolts often cause bloodied knuckles and worn-out hands. When you use an air compressor, you can get the bolts off in seconds, allowing you to repair the broken car part in a fraction of the time. You can also put air in your tires, so you no longer have to rely on the tire shop to do that.
