The hair dryer idea sounds good too though. Though anyone have experience with the model I posted? (http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST...BAir%2BCompressor.jsp) That seems like the most promissing one if I go with one. I don't need a massive 90 gallon one lol.

Also how do the filters work, is it just an attachment you buy and add to the hose?

they go between the hose and the compressor

and that link to the compressor is bad, had to cut and paste it to see it.

That's fine in all you need it for is to air up tires and lite work around the house, but i paid a little more and got a dewalt 4 gallon one that is a bit more capable from home depot. one with twin tanks.

this simular to the one i have
http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_1...pressors+%26+Inflators

tho i didn't pay that much for it. got mine several years ago.

I've been debating on if I should get a slightly higher up model just because I could end up using it for other stuff in the future. I don't want a huge thing though, I don't even know where I'll store it yet lol. But think I'll go ahead and buy one and be sure to get the filter as well as any attachments that look useful. Guessing most compressors have a psi regulator built in? I'd probably be able to use the lowest setting. I don't want to blast 200 PSI on my ram lol

There's a drain plug on the bottom of my tank, I drain it before using it. Been using a air compressor for years.
