Air Compressor Drain

Be Your Own Mechanic

An air compressor is an important tool for any DIY mechanic. To perform repairs and regular automotive maintenance in a more efficient and safe manner, you will need various pneumatic tools, or air tools, to get the job done. These tools are powered by an air compressor which uses compressed air to power the pneumatic motor. Due to a light power to weight ratio, air tools are much easier to use than larger, heavier tools. Plus, you won't need to worry about the perils associated with regular power tools such as sparks, electrocution, or short-circuiting. To continue using your pneumatic tools, you will need to regularly drain your air compressor of any water. The easiest way to do this is with an automatic compressor drain. If you're tired of trying to drain your compressor by hand, head down to AutoZone for the best air compressor drains for cars and trucks.
