I sense you don't like oiless units?


They have one major flaw that is _so_ bad that any advantage, e.g.,
low cost, is totally outweighed. That flaw: they're noisy, REALLY
NOISY; OFFENSIVELY NOISY; GET-THAT-THING-OUTA-HERE NOISY. If I was
compressor-less, I would not take an oilless as a gift.

Maybe(!), if you had a lotta' hose and could site the compressor
=100' away ... maybe it would be OK.


Yeah, I don't like oilless.

The compressor guy in town told me the Teflon seals they use instead
of rings has a short lifespan.
