I need a compressor for the occasional tire fill and some light air nailer/stapler use. I had been looking to get an oil pump compressor but some of the oil free pump compressors seem to be getting solid reviews over the perceptibly more durable/better/pricey oiled units. I'd like to limit things to under $400 and the $100-150 range seems to be a sweet spot for oil-free pancake or twin tube models that have a fitting flow rate/volume. Most importantly it seems that at $150 if I get a few years out of it and replace it I won't be too far behind a $400 compressor now and there aren't any guarantees the $400 lasts as long as two cheapos.
Anyone have any input?
