Whether you're a do it yourself type of person, or you like to have extra tools in your car in times of emergencies, air compressors are an excellent tool to help you deliver air to many different things quickly. If you have a pool, they are a wonderful way to inflate rafts and other poolside toys. They can also be wonderful for above ground, inflatable pools. Air compressors deliver air through a tube and force the air into whatever you need to inflate very quickly. If you play sports, they make a super quick fix for basketballs, soccer balls and footballs, to name a few. A day at the beach is definitely more fun when your beach ball stays inflated, and a small air compressor can do just that.
Aside from pools and sports, air compressors are also excellent for working in the tool shed on special home improvement projects. Large compressors serve as a power source for things like drills, hammers (nail guns), and screwdrivers. Instead of manually turning the screw or hammering the nail, the compressor uses the sheer force of air to cause the tool to rotate or move with very little effort from you. This can help you get the job done much faster and much more accurately.

Of course, air compressors can be the most handy when it comes to your car. You can buy them in a small, portable format that will store in your trunk. If you happen to have a flat tire or one that is just losing air, all you need to do is re-inflate the tire with your air compressor. Many newer models get their power source by simply plugging into the car's cigarette lighter and pulling power from the battery. This can be a real life-saver if you find yourself stuck on the side of the road and in need of a quick boost for your tire.
