SEALEY SAC2420E 24 Litre Direct Drive Air Compressor

The SAC2420E is a compact, easy to live with air compressor designed for everyday workshop and trade use where space, noise levels and reliability all matter. It is commonly used by mechanics, decorators, installers, maintenance engineers and serious DIY users who need a dependable air supply for routine jobs rather than continuous heavy air demand. It works particularly well in garages, small workshops, sheds and service vans where a larger belt driven compressor would be unnecessary or impractical.

With a 24 litre receiver tank, this compressor provides enough stored air for short burst tasks such as tyre inflation, blowing down machinery, cleaning work areas, running nailers and staplers, and powering light air tools like inflators and air dusters. The tank size allows the compressor to build pressure quickly and cycle efficiently without taking up excessive floor space, making it a practical choice for users who want fast access to compressed air without a large footprint.

The aluminium cylinder head paired with a cast iron cylinder improves wear resistance and durability, especially under regular stop start use. The pump is directly coupled to a heavy duty induction motor, which helps keep operation smooth and quieter than many budget compressors. This makes it suitable for indoor use where excessive noise would be an issue, such as residential garages or shared workshop spaces.

Operation is straightforward and user friendly. The fully automatic pressure cut out switch controls when the compressor starts and stops, so once it is powered on it looks after itself. Twin gauges clearly show tank pressure and regulated working pressure, allowing the user to easily set the correct output for different tools. The pressure regulator lets you dial down air delivery for delicate tasks, while still keeping the tank charged in the background.

The receiver tank is precision welded and manufactured to meet Pressure Vessel Directive requirements, providing reassurance on safety and build quality. The unit runs on standard mains power, making it simple to plug into a typical workshop or garage supply without specialist wiring. Routine use involves switching the unit on, allowing it to build pressure, setting the desired working pressure and connecting the air tool via the outlet. Draining moisture from the tank as part of regular maintenance helps keep performance consistent over time.
