Hi,
Finally broke down and bought an air compressor for the garage. 6hp, 155psi max pres, 27gal tank. The only problem is. It's noisier than I thought. Now I just gotta figure out where to put the damn thing. It's portable on wheels so I guess I can just roll it into a cornor when I'm done. Now I need to get tools for it. What tools do you all think I will need the most? Any suggestions?
Cheers, Elliot

Air ratchet, 3/8 impact, 1/2 impact, D/A sander, air file, and that trick little cut off saw like I got. I use it all the time for things other than the car. Its called a body saw. The thing cuts super fast and gets into small areas easy. By the way, next time you come down, I got a question for you. Maybe I will see you up at the GAF? If you are going that is.

an air ratchet is a good companion for an impact wrench IMHO.

A die grinder w/ an assortment of bits is pretty darn handy too!

After wrenching on the car the last couple of weekends, an air ratchet has moved up my list a few notches.

Air tools rock -- I am just getting into the whole thing, but thus far my cut-off tool has seen the most action (several discs worth).
