[Shotimes] OT (sort of): Air

[Michael S Wojton]

You know, as far as price goes, I've seen some 2 stage compressors with
50 or 60 gallon tanks at Home Depot or Harbor Freight for not much more
than $400.  That's what I paid for my single stage 30 gallon.  Of course, that
was about 8 years ago.  And they were from decent manufacturers too.
There are some good deals to be had out there.

my roofer and I were having this conversation, when I saw his craftsman
single stage on his truck.  He says they are cheap, last a year, and then he
gets a new one.  So I guess it depends on how much use you have in mind.
Also did you mention noisy?  Thought so .
