Title: Air Compressor
Post by: TaTtOo on April 18, 2007, 11:09:09 PM

I need to buy one these in the morning so I can finish my hardwood floor.... I want to get one that I can use in my garage for air tools when I am done.... I currently have a small 6 gal. porter cable unit which is not powerful enough to run the floor nailer so its time for one bigger and better.... Anyone have any advice on which one to get ( I would like to keep this around the $500 mark or lower and would like it to be as quiet as possible).

Thanks

Lawrence

I picked up a 30gal craftsman one from sears, currently on sale for $350 from $500. Flows 5.5cfm@90psi, good amount to run impact gun etc. Its vertical and oilless...havent had a chance to try it out yet though because one of the welds had a leak in it so i exchanged...guessing they arent all like that though. :?
