The air the workshop runs on · review
The only compressor here that publishes its output AT a pressure — 113 l/min at 6.2 bar.
Where we come out The most honest specification in this family, on a modest machine.
Machines on this page quote 220 and 240 l/min; this one quotes 113. It is not weaker by half — it is quoting delivery at 6.2 bar while they quote intake at no pressure. When you compare compressors, find the pressure attached to the flow figure, and if there is none, assume the flattering reading.
Everything an intermittent tool asks: wrenches, blow guns, tires, nailers. Continuous tools — sanders, die grinders, plasma — are beyond it, as they are beyond every 50 L machine on this page.
Every figure above comes from the manufacturer’s published specification for this reference. Fields the listing does not publish are left out rather than estimated. Market availability was verified per market on the EAN.

Because air output falls as pressure rises, so a flow figure without a pressure is meaningless. 113 l/min at 6.2 bar tells you what the machine actually delivers into a tool running at typical workshop pressure. A competitor quoting « 240 l/min » is quoting intake at zero pressure, and the two numbers are not comparable — the honest one usually looks worse.
For most tools, yes: impact wrenches, nailers, blow guns and spray guns generally want 6 to 7 bar at the tool. Where 10 bar helps is headroom — a bigger gap between cut-in and cut-out means the pump runs less often and the pressure at the tool stays steadier during a long job.

80 gal ASME · 5 HP 230 V · 18.4/17.2/16.4 CFM at 40/90/175 PSI · 15,000 h
A two-stage commercial compressor that publishes its delivery at three pressures — which is exactly what this hub’s buying tip asks for and almost nothing on the market does.
Best for: A workshop running a plasma cutter, a blast cabinet or air tools continuously, with a 230 V single-phase supply
≈ $3470
6 gal · 1.0 HP · 150 PSI max · 2.6 SCFM at 90 PSI · 30.8 lb
A six-gallon pancake that publishes what the hub asks for — 2.6 SCFM at 90 PSI — and its own weight at 30.8 lb.
Best for: Nail guns, tires and intermittent air work in a garage, where portability matters more than volume
≈ $160
2 gal · 1/3 HP · 125 PSI max · 10-piece accessory kit · no CFM published
A two-gallon oil-free portable whose listing is a single bullet — the accessory list — with no air delivery figure anywhere on the page.
Best for: Tires, blowing down a workbench and a staple gun — not for any air tool that runs continuously
≈ $140
