Im looking at buying an air compressor for the workshop.

Main use would be ratchet tools. Ie. Catalogue (http://www.sidchrome.com.au/products/38-heavy-duty-stubby-ratchet-wrench) although possibly other uses I haven't thought of yet!

Given the above would 120lpm be enough or is it wise to go larger?

What brands are recommended and what should I steer clear of? Is it false economy to go the cheap brands from say supercheap?

Cheers

Go as large as you can on 10Amps.
ALDI have what looks a beauty at the moment.
I have had a cheap SIP for 12 years now with only a couple of small problems ( rubber diaphragm-replaced by tube, and tap-new one from Supercheap $10.)
