Re: Air compressor for general shop use
I agree about not going oil-less. I have a 26 gal compressor that I bought from Home Depot. It does work well for smaller jobs, body work, impact tools, air file and paint but you wouldn't be able to paint a car unless you do it in sections. Also, it's the quiet series but I think that means that anyone in the vicinity of the compressor should just be quiet as you can't talk or think it's so loud.

Re: Air compressor for general shop use
thanks for the replys I took a look at homedepot http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/...3+90401+524403
It puts out 11.5/10.2 SCFM @ 40/90 PSI which should be pretty good for what I need it for.
