Since a lot of us on this forum probably fix our own lawn mowers or at least do all of the maintenance, I thought I was safe asking opinions about a new air compressor for the garage.
My compressor is starting to act up. Now, it is a thirty-year old Craftsman oil less unit that has served me well.
So my question is do I go out get another oil less or switched to a oil filed. Now a little qualifier here, this new compressor will most likely out live me, so longivity is less of a concern. My compressor is not used much or for long periods of time, so the running noise is not too much of an issue. My thought based on my criterial is to stick with the oi less. A plus to this decision is that it would also be lighter in weight and cheaper in price. Thoughts? Am I missing an important factor?
Okay, so if I go oil less, any reccomendations on a 10 gallon version? i have been reading up on the "Wen" and it had good reviews. Typically, I check out what my friends are using as a gauge, which mainly consists of Craftsman and one Harbor Freight.
I would love to get a bigger tank, but a vertical 10 gallon will just fit in the alotted space, plus 10 gallons is probably more than I need.
