hi any one had any experience with picini air compressors made in italy?. They seam resonably priced than other known brands.

They seam reasonably priced than other known brands.

IF they are made in Italy they should be pretty good - note the word IF.
Looking at Picini they also import Chinese stuff as well.

before China came on the scene Italy was the place to go for cheaper Compressors and motors....
If gen I would def buy....
Remember if It's a direct drive screamer u might find the compressors from Lidil or Aldi hard to beat esp on price and with their warrenty.....
I got an oiless screamer from Aldi 20 odd years ago, it's still going strong...it was around £60 even then....
Mostly they are a trowaway item these days.....
It's main use is for tyres and wood nailer at home....

I have bought cheap Lidl tools for tools that don't get much use, the last angle grinder has had 2 warranty replacements in 3 years and the 2nd replacement died just out of warranty. The compressor I bought started to eat itself as soon as I started to use it a bit more, out of warranty but very little used.

If you buy Lidl tools make sure you are going to get your money's worth within the warranty period.

have only seen the picini air compressors on Irish garage equipment online. looking at the 3hp tandam 300 litre tank on there looks a good price.
