Been thinking about getting an air compressor. Mostly want it for cutting tools, body saw, impact wrench, finishing tools..might want to use it for painting. Sears has an oil lube 25 gal for under $400. It runs a lot quieter than the 30 gal oil free unit they sell and has similar SCFM #s. I'd much rather have the quieter compressor in my little garage...is there any reason to avoid the oil lube models? Any problem painting with a 25-30 gal compressor?
