Default Source of compresed air

Michael,
I personally hate mickey mouse solutions. They are never economical. It is
however, a certain way to eventually fill your available space with junk.
Make the plunge, do it right the first time and save tons of money over the
long term. The Brits say "Penny wise and Pound foolish."

I find the need for a small jet of compressed air to blow out chips etc
from time to time. I am thus looking for a source of compressed air to
which some sort of air gun can be attached. It has to satisfy three
requirements:
1) It has to be cheap,
2) It has to take up little or no space,
3) It has to be cheap,

I heard some people simply use a spare car tire. I asked at Summit tools
(who carry all kinds of air stuff) if it is feasible to attach a hose and
an air gun to a tire, they did not think so. I really do not want/need a
full-sized compressor. A compresed air bottle seems a bit of an overkill.

Any suggestions?
