Air compressor needed?

D S asked:


I allready have a huge tanked oil compressor in my shop for metalworking tools but want to get a small 2 - 4 gallon unit for the woodworking shop in the basement.

I have heard oiled units last longer so I want to try and stick with those if they have them for these smaller units.

Whats a good unit to get?

My price range: $60 - 150
Gallons needed: 2 - 4
Input voltage: 110/120 single phase
*If possable, an oil unit as they last longer

I normally would just go to harborfreight.com but I never trust anything from them that ill be using and want to last long…

I’ll be using this compressor to just blow sawdust off the woodworking tools and all every now and then and dont want a motor running all the time…Thats why I like the tank models.

*I may get a small nail gun for use on 1/2″ plywood that I use in the shop allot though so maby 4G is better.

Thanks
ADDED NOTE

for a nail gun, i was looking at homedepot.com item # BN125A
well thanks for the answers……………

I got some opinions from people who have used this comp. and its a great unit…nice price too

yea normally I love buying from them too but looking online their compressors are expensive….I’ll have to take a look in store tomorrow and see what they have availabe.

Im an electrician and get electrical strippers from them and so if I get mine dull or someone else blows them up I just bring them in for a new pair….its great.

I also have an 19.2V drill from them that i have another year on so if I break it they replace it free of charge as well….It’s the best drill I have ever used.
