MH>TW> I would recomend NOt to go with the Cheapest one you find if you are   
   MH>TW> going to be semi serious about Air Tools.   
   MH>TW> My recomendation woudl be the Ingersoll Rand Garage Mate Single Stage   
   MH>TW> compressor. It is in the price range of $480.   
   MH>TW> If that is a little steep for you I would suggest the Sears Craftsman 33   
   MH>TW> Gallon Verticle Portable(Has wheels for moving around like the Ingersoll   
   MH>TW> Rand) that runs $350 or so.   
      
   MH>Is the Ingersoll Rand Garage Mate for $480 a 30 gallon?  I saw only 20 gallo   
   MH>ones at that price.   
      
   Sorry that was a 20 gallon.   
      
   MH>I have been considering a Husky 30 gallon belt driven air compressor.  It is   
   MH>just over $400 and basically an re-boxed Campbell Hausfield 30 gallon unit.   
      
   Checked o nthat husky and it is a much better deal than the sears I   
   recommended. GO for it.   
      
   MH>I'll probably go crazy buying air tools too.  I need stuff for working on th   
   MH>car as well as painting our deck.   
      
   That is the down side of getting a good compressor. there are so many   
   air tools avilable. In times past when I was a volunteer at the Campo   
   Califronia Railroad Museum I used them a lot.   
   Fro home use I only have one for inflating tires etc as I am over the   
   hill, almost 80, for any real automobile work.
