Joe,
I'd think of the shipping costs and add some customs as well a package that size from the states will have them poking about. machine mart do good compressors get the A/b from the states but thats about it

I agree the shipping costs are going to be very expensive, add Customs / VAT to that and you will be paying quite a bit.

Argos is selling the Power Devil Air Compressor and Nail Gun Kit for £69.99.

Add to that the 2 metre braided air hose at ±£7.00 and a Badger 150 copy / knock off at ±£27.99 (I have one, not bad at all), and you have a setup.
