Air compressors are common construction equipment. Construction equipment professionals use air tools such as a compressor to pump up tyres on heavy equipment. Having a compressor as part of their regular toolbox means they don’t have to leave their work location to find air tools to repair flat tyres. An air pump can also be used by homeowners to pump up balls such as volleyballs, basketballs, footballs and other inflatables. An air pump is another name for compressors and these two terms are often used interchangeably both within the construction field and home owners.
