Thanks for responses--will be at Sears tomorrow and will have a new
compressor for around the house...

Before you make a major mistake, check Amazon.com for real compresors
that pros use. There are some fine machines there that will give you
years of service. You almost never see any Craftsman stuff on job
sites. A major problem with Craftsman is the astonishing prices on
repair parts when something wears out. FWIW, I use a Hitachi EC 12 2
HP for odd jobs around the place. It drives nailers just fine, but is
a bit small for some air hungry air tools like a disk sander. While
you're at it, shop the box stores, too. Buy the most CFM @ 90 PSI that
you can afford. HTH
