Re: [ST] Air Compressor



That's the first thing I was told when I asked about compressors.  Stay
away from the oil-less units, they are loud as heck and are throw-aways,
as you mentioned.

Subject: Re: [ST] Air Compressor

I wanted a compressor for the same reasons--inflating tires, using an  
air gun to make tire rotations a snap, blowing stuff clean, etc.  
However, I live in an apartment complex and didn't want some loud  
monster that'd annoy all my neighbors. I also wanted something that'd  
last, so that eliminated all the oil-less models. (They use a plastic  
piston ring that quickly heats up and wears out, and then you have to  
toss the entire unit.)

I went with the Porter-Cable C3551 portable compressor <http://

v=glance&n=228013&n=507846&s=hi&v=glance> and have been very happy  
with it. Yeah, it cost a little more than I had been hoping to spend,  
but it has been a great tool that will easily last. Plus, my  
neighbors haven't complained about the noise.
