Gotta learn to handle this tool one day:)
Just had to add this:
Using airtanks is not always a bad idea with compressors, when you
only need a single or few pneumatics actions once in a while, the air
tanks can be nice to have (ofcourse with the handpump I prefer tanks
too), but since I mostly do in continous action, there's really no
need for either tank or shut-off-valve (btw, the codepilot is
excellent for controlling a compressor that doesn't need to run all
the time). Just wanted to explain why I'm so against the tanks:)
Kind regards
