Re: [ST] Air Compressor

[Neil Lindsey <Neil.Lindsey@xxxxxxx>]

If you want something that will last and which will probably be much
quieter, get one that is pulley-operated (electric motor doesn't have to
work as hard due to pulley ratios)

These are usually quite a bit more expensive however, but well worth it
IMHO.
