Default Air Compressor

It's a big step up from my PC pancake (which I still use).


Anyone who is seriously into woodworking and does some DIY home
repair/remodeling can certainly benefit from two air compressors.

I have a small Husky Scout that is really handy behind the seat of the
truck and is great for trimming cabinets and small jobs around the
house; and a 12gal semi portable oiler that's works just fine for what I
do in the shop (no air tools or spray painting), but just a bit too
unwieldy to be loading and unloading out of the truck for smaller jobs.

Historically I've run through the none lubricated pancake portables and
had to replace them about every three years, so, at $99, the little
Husky Scout nicely fits the bill for a throw-a-way at about a third of
the price.

YMMV ...
