Draper 230V 24L Direct Drive Oil-Free Air Compressor, 1.1kW/1.5hp

Bigger Tank, Cleaner Power, Easy to Move

The Draper DA25/169 is a 230V direct drive oil-free air compressor that combines the clean-running benefits of an oil-free motor with a larger 24-litre tank for longer, more demanding jobs. Driven by a 1.1kW (1.5hp) motor delivering 6.0cfm (169L/min) of air displacement and 3.46cfm (98L/min) free air delivered, this compressor is ideal for tradespeople, serious DIYers, and workshop users who need more air on tap between motor cycles.

A Larger Tank for Longer Run Times

The 24-litre receiver gives this compressor a clear edge for jobs where a small tank would mean constant cycling. With more stored air, you can run nailers, staplers, inflators, and small pneumatic tools for longer between cut-ins, keeping work flowing smoothly. The air receiver is CE approved, and the system delivers a maximum working pressure of 116psi (8bar), with the motor running at 2850rpm.

Built for Portability

Despite the larger tank capacity, the DA25/169 is designed to move with you. It comes fitted with wheels and a transport handle, so you can roll it around the workshop, between rooms, or across the job site without lifting its 23kg weight. It can also be transported on its side, making loading into a car boot or van straightforward. The compact 600 x 250 x 600mm footprint keeps it tidy in storage too.

Clean, Oil-Free Operation

Because the motor is oil-free, it emits no fumes during use, making the DA25/169 well-suited to indoor environments such as workshops, garages, decorating jobs, and hobby spaces. With no oil to change or top up — and no risk of oil contamination in your air line — you benefit from a long maintenance-free life and cleaner air for spraying, airbrushing, and finishing applications.

Precise Control and Fast Connections

This compressor is fitted as standard with a pressure switch, pressure regulator, and pressure gauge, giving you precise, repeatable control over the pressure supplied to your tools. The quick euro coupling outlet lets you swap accessories in seconds with no tools required — handy when you're moving between an inflator, a nailer, and a blow gun on the same job.

Ideal Applications

The Draper DA25/169 is a versatile choice for tyre inflation across cars, vans, motorcycles, and bicycles, brad and pin nailing for trim, skirting, and second-fix work, airbrushing and light spraying tasks, dust blowing around tools and workspaces, and powering small to medium pneumatic accessories. The larger tank makes it especially well-suited to jobs where a 6-litre compressor would feel undersized — without stepping up to a heavier, oil-lubricated machine.

Backed by the trusted Draper Tools name, the DA25/169 strikes an excellent balance between tank capacity, clean oil-free operation, and genuine portability — a dependable all-rounder for workshop and site.
