You -don't- use much air so you bought a 24scfm pump? Um, OK.

PS... we have two air presses. We don't use them very often, but when
they're both in service at once, we max out that 24cfm pretty easily.

Hunt around for another tank with a blown compressor on it and use the
tank for reserve air. It makes a huge! difference when using air
intensive tools. If you dont want to fill it up every day..simply put
a valve on it and leave it turned off until you need it. Open the
valve..let her fill and voila!

Ive installed 500 gallon air tanks in shops just for that reason and
its worked out well.

I agree but tanks are never cheap, even with a blown pump. I had to
make one from PVC pipe!
