Finally, an air compressor!
Scored a deal on an air compressor from craigslist, and since the wife isn't interested, I'm going to share here.
DeVilbiss, made in USA
3.5hp, 20gal
8.6cfm at 60psi
6.8cfm at 90psi
twin-cylinder, oiled
...$75
Should be great to have around!

Rob, when I move to a "final resting place," I'll be hooking up with a 60/80gal 240V compressor, but for the moment, I wasn't thrilled with the idea of having to run 240 (not to say I wouldn't have if the right deal hadn't come along )
Jay, I've been looking for a good long time. I was looking for an oiled compressor (quieter, as Rob alluded to) with enough flow (cfm at 90psi) to run a decent impact wrench for a decent amount of time.

Not to mention...I'm out of slots in my breaker box, and don't want to run a daughter-box/piggy-back box.

another CL score
Still haven't gotten 220 to the garage so I gave in and picked up this used Husky. 26 gal 5 hp with separate motor and cast iron pump. I'll stick it in the shed behind the garage and run a hard line to the garage so I won't have to hear it.

Was also considering this one, which is a better unit, but further away. Guy want's an offer. It's 110v 30 gal and twin cylinder cast iron pump.

Atlanta93LE, I think that is the same one I have, but mine is a re-branded Sears. I got it at a garage sale for 30 bucks. Had to replace the belt and change out the oil (idiot had used what looked to be 50W motor oil in it), and it has worked for me quite well. I've run it continuously for about 8 hours straight (air grinder), and it has taken everything I threw at it.
Get yourself a decent (i.e. NOT harbor freight) impact wrench. Once you get used to using air tools, you'll wonder how you ever got along without them.
