    Be really careful with the advice you are getting on compressors. None of it is wrong, but the way the thread is leaning you may end up with a 15hp gas powered, supercharged, 40 gallon tank compressor that requires a car to jump start.

    Bigger IS better. But if you want it to run the stuff you specified, get a decent size tank and the biggest 120v electric motor you can find.

    Personally I use a 33 gallon Sears 1.5hp unit and while there are times when I wish it had more power, I also use mine for operating air tools like grinders, air ratchets, etc.

    Thanks but I might just go with the cheap-o one from the start and roll the dice on it. The compressor and a "new floor" for the reloading area were not in the original budget. So I either have to give us some reloading stuff (ie. no progressive for now) to get the air compressor and re-floor the room or cut some corners and do a plastic over carpet + cheap-o compressor + progressive or some combo of the 3. Case in point I can't get progressive + air + floor. So I've got some decisions to make and ASAP as the benches are going in this weekend and I would rather have the floor decision settled now then having to move and remove the benches later. :D

    Sears then you have the lifetime warranty. Assuming its Craftsman.

    I tell all my customers to buy tools from Sears instead of us...

    Sear (craftsman) does not have lifetime on there air compresser. I have one that is 16 years old and it get used often. It is a 1.5 horse and a 25 gallon upright. I have never had a problem. I drain the tank out about ones every six mouths. The compresser stays on all the time so it ready to go. I hate to wait for it to build up when you need it. Over all I am very happy with it.

    HONESTLY then based on your uses, I would skip the compressor! The ONE thing that you listed that will be an issue for your compressor is the painting. For filling up the car tires, etc you can use one of those $15 12-volt compressors that plugs into your car's cigarette lighter.

    You get a holiday as well.

    :D

    Besides I think based on the comment by IN_SheepDog in the "Hammond is looking for trouble" thread in which it looks like you lost the case against Hammond. :n00b: you may no longer be worthy to be in NWI INGO.

    How you guys can lose that case when the text is black and white is.... :dunno:

    I had one and it burned out. :xmad: Well I looked at more flooring options today and I think I am just going to keep the carpet that is in the "reloading" room and use the money to get a compressor instead. Perhaps something in the $100 to $120 range.
