Recommend an Air Compressor

[Radar Chief]

What are you’re needs for an air compressor? Are you just airing up tires once in a while or are you running a die grinder or sander?

Tops that I think of, house framing. I might still do another (smaller) addition to my house.

So a nailer or a stapler, something that doesn’t consume gobs of air.
I like the looks of that Wen more than the Bostitch for the fact its not an oil-less compressor. Oil-less are cheap but the buzzing noise will get on your nerves quickly, particularly in a confined space, and they don’t typically last as long.

Good info. I was gonna ask if Oil-less was a plus or minus. Mine WAS very noisy.

The Wen, BTW, is the one I'm leaning more towards.

I bought a Porter Cable one from Home Depot for $115. It works great. It will run one nailer for sure, probably two. A carpenter I know has a bostitch one like you linked, but when I looked into them, they were expensive.

My Porter Cable job I built a shelf in my garage and bolted the Compressor to it, and mounted a hose reel on the bottom of it. ****ing love it. I don't know why I didn't do that 15 minutes after closing on the house.
