Question Air Compressor

Been thinking about buying an air compressor and tools to go with it. I do all my own maintenance and have several cars so figured it'd make some of the chores easier to perform. I have no idea however what to look for in an air compressor or associated tools.

Any advice much appreciated.

Ditto this ^, anything smaller and your pneumatic tools just run out of pressure too quickly.

Re: Air Compressor

do you have access to 220v where you are planning on keeping it? this really dictates what kind of compressor you can get.
