I teflon-taped the appropriate fittings. I am *really* impressed with
how relatively quiet this compressor is. I read the specs, and it says
79 dB. Most of the others whose specs I've seen are 90 dB or more.
That's a BIG difference.

I think a lot of that is because it is an oil lubed compressor, not
suitable for diving unfortunately. I've always been impressed with
Makita's tools in general, and have had one of their nice little palm
sanders for a zillion years.

What kind of air tools are you using?
