Default Air compressor suitability?



DO NOT BUY THE OILLESS COMPRESSOR AS
THEY ARE LOUDER THAN A JET MOTOR.


Sorry, but whenever I see this claim touted, I have to counter. Cheap
oilless compressors are indeed deafening. However, it is well within the
bounds of current technological capabilities to produce an oil-free
compressor that is at least as quiet as a typical oiled unit. I have
such a beast, from Sears, with a ticket price of about $800. It is
quieter than any oiled unit of similar price and capacity that I've
heard.
