Reconsider air tools,spray guns and sand blasters are necessary but die grinders , sanders and all that type of stuff uses a lot of air which makes the compressor run a lot. The electricity consumed by the compressor is far more than an equivalent electric sander etc.
Just a suggestion, the electricity prices in NSW are going to skyrocket soon (to discourage unnecessary power use ) on a peak / off peak charge system and I doubt you would be very popular using a compressor at 3:00 am .
