I'm looking at buying a Sears #00916636000 Mfr. model #16636 (one 5

wondering which would be better.

Will using around the home for home projects.

I would go with the one 5 gallon tank.

Advantages:
One tank to drain water from, not two

Do I have to drain a compressor often if I just keep it charged up in
the garage for bike tires etc. and the occasional use of brad nailers etc.?



Less weight
More capacity
On sale!

Disadvantages:
Requires slightly more space to store

The motor size and specs of both units appear otherwise equal.- Hide quoted text -

You should drain the tank after every use. If water is left to
accumulate it will eventually eat through the bottom of the tank. I
have also read recommendations to set the pressure regulator down to
zero. This relieves the tension on the diaphragm.
