For a good reason that you outlined below.

I live alone in a 1974 Fairmont, which is cram full of what most
folks consider clutter. With about enough floor space to walk. The
oilless compressor I was given would have been a HUGE step forward
for me, and may be a big step some day if it's ever working. I type
on a PC that's over five years old, don't own a laptop that works
worth a hoot (I was given one which weighs about 20 pounds and can
handle win 98 at maximum, and has 5.7 GB drive). My two vehicles are
both over 200k miles, and are 1995 and 1998 models. I'm blessed for
what I have, and can't afford anything newer or better. If I knocked
over a compressor and broke con rod, I'd really be in a tough
spot. I have great respect for a man who asks in public (like this)
for ideas how to use it up, make it do, fix it up, or do without. My
respect for Snag and for Gunner is going up at present.

As for Snag's story, **** happens and anyone who does a lot of work,
is bound to have minor mishaps. As for doing repairs, fixing those
broken pumps definitely is not economically sensible.
