I have had a Campbell Hausfield unit for about 15 years and it still works
fine. It doesn't get a lot of use but it sits unused in the basement and
sometimes that can be just as bad as not using a tool. I use it for
inflation of tires and air mattresses, maintaining my pressure tank, blowing
out pipes and hoses, spray painting, blowing out dust and whatever. It's a
handy tool to have. I'm not sure if it is oil free or not. But it has worked
well with essentially no TLC.

I want to get one of the new small wall mount/portable compressors. Sears
and CH both make oil-free and oil-lubricated models for about the same
money ($100). This will only be used for occasional brad/nailer, tire
inflation, air nozzle, etc.

What should I look for? Is oil-lube more durable than oil-free?

Thanks.
