Fifteen years ago I needed a compressor bad and was short on funds. I bought a Husky oilless upright (maybe 30 gallon or so). Many years ago I plumbed it in to the machine shed and it is on all the time. I run air tools, I've painted machinery, really I have done more than it ever should have done.
