With as much work I've been doing between three cars and a motorcycle, I've been thinking of getting a portable compressor for wrenching at home. Any suggestions/info?
I'm not too familiar with how the work and all that.

Thanks

Get at least an 80 gallon. You wont regret buying it, always handy.

80 gal. is nice but not too portable. I wish I had a 80. I have been waiting for the 40 gal. compressor that I have been using for 13 years to die to buy another larger one.The 40 gets the job done but sometimes I have to wait for it to cycle for higher volume tools. But I am a hobby shop not in the business. Steel cylinders or at least steel sleeved cylinders help for longer compressor life. Plus its just 120 volt plug.
