Air compressor newbie - inherited from uncle..what fun stuff can i do with it?

Air up my tires. Nail guns.

I enjoy putting air into my kids bike tires. Really an adrenaline rush.

Well, I'll tell you what not to do with it. Definitely don't shove it in your arse and turn it on unless you want to blow out an O ring.

Depends on the tank size and how fast the motor can push air.

Impact tools for lug nuts
Pneumatic buffer for waxing a car
Use a brad nailer for trim work

Rigged correctly, you can take the potato gun idea to a whole new level.

Plus air tires, nail-gun, paint gun, etc.

Stick it up one nostril and blow your sinuses out of the other.

Stick it one ear and blow through the other. It makes an awesome whistling sound.

Shoot It with a rifle. Make it go BOOM.

Just film it when you do.

Just so you know, your tank will fill up with water over time. Drain it occasionally.

another fun fact: 100psi of air exits a 1/4" orifice at 100SCFM
