Would it be a bad idea to daisy chain tanks? I have one extra, and at
times, I just run out of air. Or would it overwork the compressor?


It should be fine with any decent compressor. Put a valve between
tanks, so that you can start working sooner after turning the
compressor on.

Ive got daisychained thanks here. I often leave the sub tank turned
off, but if I need to sandblast..or run air way out in the back 40..I
turn it on. Takes about 50% longer to fill em both..but the compressor
doesnt run as often once they are filled.

Shrug...depends on what you need to use air for. For me..its running
the plasma cutter, spray painting, blowing gook off machines and
filling tires.
