Thanks. I'm looking at a couple of different DeWalt compressors. The
differences between them seem pretty minor in terms of output.

No one ever complains that their compressor has too much capacity. If
you have the space and electric power, I'd get the biggest within
reason. If you get one with a good sized tank (= 30 gallons) and
upwards of 8 or 9 cfm, there are some really nifty air tools available
at quite reasonable prices.


I gave up on the little 2 gallon jobs and got a 16 gallon at Sears which was
the biggest that would still run on a 15 amp, 120 outlet. It came with a
air driven ratchet set that makes life simple. Also the smaller units come
with those little 1/4 inch "slinky" air lines that limit flow. The bigger
one has a much larger rubber air hose.
