I bought an air compressor.

Woohoo, mini air compressor!

My bike got a flat tire and I didn't have a pump... then I got to thinking that I didn't want to pump by hand anyway. Also, this way I don't have to buy canned air if I ever get my airbrush out of the closet.

I'm sure you could have used the free ones at car washes and saved yourself $98.

As far as canned air just reverse your vacuum to clean out your PC 😛

The power of the human mind to rationalize is awesome to behold 😛

IT's hard to ride a bike to a car wash with no air in the tire, though.

It'll probably do alright for stuff like nailguns, etc. if you don't mind hearing it run alot.

Damnit I need an impact gun and big air compressor right now. Want to swap out the springs in my car again but the only way to get the top hat nuts off is with an impact gun...

Anyone in Portland have a nice garage with good air tools that'll let me use it for a couple of hours? 🙂

You don't need an impact gun, especially if they have been taken off before. At most, all you need is a breaker bar.

I got my 5.5HP air compressor, 20 Gal tank, and impact for under $200 from Home Depot. It is a Campbell Hausfeld, so the quality isn't the greatest, but open box returns rock. 😀

Tempting (not the open box returns, the deal). Every shop in town wants to charge $200+ for the spring swap. Damn thieves. With good air tools it's only a 1 hour job.
 
at 200 bucks you could've bought a lifetime of compressed air cans, if it was only for cleaning out electrical components
 
My Compressor

OP at first I bought the same one you did, But it was teh such smelled like it was burning up REAL BAD.
I took it back and bought this one. It is sooooo great Never 1 problem runs power tools. Plus it looks better than the sears one.
