Here you go for the rollers.
Tube & brackets also if you need any. Not in my way. Been there a few years not needed

Yep. Used to have 100kgs spread across 3 rollers.
I would just put 2 lengths & box round it. Storage boxes will happily roll on them.
Easy to remove rollers, just a pin
& chop metal with hacksaw.
 
Wire spool is coming to an end and the memory in it is causing it to judder. Got myself a 5kg of SIP at lunch.

Also, my screwfix gauntlets have been donated to grinding purposes and I've just ordered some Tegaras. Screwfix ones were worth the money but are dying/ripped and very loose fitting.
 
@The Mad Hat Man apologies as I'm sure you've mentioned before but what's minimum compressor spec that a worth buying. I was looking at getting a battery impact wrench but I'm no thinking there may be no point if I get a compressor. Same kind of price for a lower end compressor and wrench as for a high end battery wrench with charger and batteries. For some reason I thought you need 10cfm to spray also?

No idea but battery power is more versatile as it is completely portable.

Compressor would be good to have though, I'm playing with the one MHM donated and have been looking at tools that it can run, shears and a nibbler lare supposed to be within it's capability.

Yeah just looking at those. Browsing the machine mart catalogue as you do lol. Have you ever heard of kielder tools?

Yeah, middle of the road quality at an affordable price, not your Milwaukee or DeWalt but nowhere near their prices either.

Worth buying you think. My mates tools are all dewalt. Everything. But he uses his everyday all day and can't afford dead batteries etc. The dewalt is 150 more lol. The Clarke is the most affordable bit only 2ah batteries. I don't want to buy that I won't be happy with though. I can't afford one at the moment anyways but it's next tool buy wether via air or battery

compressor - basically the biggest you can afford - the limiting criteria is CFM - ie the flow rate of the compressed air... how quickly the compressor can replenish the air taken from the storage tank (the bigger the tank the better) I have a 180L tank, that is rated at 15cfm, but that struggles when trying to shot blast. Basically anything that uses air continuously will deplete the tank quickly.
As for the impact wrench - get a battery operated one - for 3 main reasons....
1) you can take a battery operated one off site,
2) you can use it at a moments notice.
3) firing up a large compressor every time you want to remove a wheel, for instance, is a complete pain.

even those cheap aldi compressors will run a 3/4 gun enough to remove wheel nut from a larger rough terrain forklift it wont power it continuously but does the job this would be a reasonable one imo, air has so many uses

a compressor has a lot of uses id have one before a battery gun

oh yes - a compressor is much more versatile, but a 50L one will run out of puff when used in anger with most tools, such as a chisel/drill etc. I bet if Resto gets one, within 6 months he will be looking at buying a bigger one.
 
I think I'd like first hand so I may not be able to get 100l but I'd have to see. I want it for undoing bolts more than anything but would also like to be able to expand on tools. The scaler tool would be beneficial but a lot of the rust is already gone! Spraying would be something I'd like to do. I know I wouldn't get workshop finish but I'd like to be able to spray rather than brush

add an extra reservoir ie large gas bottle,ive managed well running small compressors when not near my larger one or when it broke down,its rare you constantly use a tool, its usually bursts 50l will run an air chisel ok and most tools,including a da it may take a little longer but 14cfm on a 50l tank is a good useful tool ive managed with less
