But when such a unit is available, it greatly facilitates certain time-consuming processes (tire inflation, for example), and sometimes significantly improves the quality of work (e.g., painting products with spray). Where work is carried out using air tools because the electric mechanisms (even with low supply voltage) applied in production safety work is strictly prohibited (flammable or explosive), the compressor just needed.
