How to pick an Air Compressor?

[62406]

DV, Good point on air lines. When I built my garage( of which I am slowly losing ground with. to tagsale items and lawn furniture, UGH!) Ithought I had everthing covered. The fixed air line would have been nice. The bigger tank also but my thoughts were under the work bench was the spot for it. After many years and oil dripping on the compressor I think I should have went for the verticle. I also looked at useable floor space and never figured on taxing a 5 hp. No one in my family ever even bought a 5hp for the house. But then again air tools was something I grew up only hearing in the garage my father worked at. 2 stage would handle anything and dragging an airhose around on a floor is a good way to get moisture in a paint job I'm told. I see a small amount in the air when Iblow off the line sometimes after draining my tank. Even with the dryer. Heated garage not heated floor. You can never figure everthing and NO GARAGE IS BIG ENOUGH! especially if your married. Heat, cable, phone, refrig, I was ready! Or I thought so! My sister-in -law promises to have her tagsale stuff out by thanksgiving. Yeah right! Alex
