Best Belt-Driven Air Compressor for the Garage
As the extent of vehicle-based projects and maintenance goes up, I'm giving serious consideration to purchasing an air compressor for the garage. I've spent several days now researching the options available and I've narrowed my selection down to two possible choices (model numbers below). But before I make the final plunge, I'm wondering if anyone has any other recommendations based on their own experiences. The only real stipulation I have is that I'm looking for an oil-lubricated, belt-driven compressor.
I plan to use this primarily for installing and removing car parts so the impact wrench will be getting the most use. I don't currently have a need for the higher demand tools (CFM-wise) but I'd like to get something that will support future needs as well. Price is also a consideration since I'm not looking to break the bank. But I don't mind spending a little more up front to ensure I'm getting something that will last. Would also prefer something portable but that's not a requirement.
Recommendations? Are the above two units a good buy for the money? Are there better more reliable brands than Ingersoll Rand?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
