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.

I bought an oiless-tankless $100 job for the same light occasional use.
Without the tank, there is no accumulation so the peak output is severely
limited.
I bought a small tank for about $25 + tube + Gauge + fittings with
considerable improvment but still a Micky-Mouse sorry arrangement.
In retrospect I should have bought a oiled portable unit with tank for about
$250.
Repeatedly learning my lesson to buy quality tools or at least one grade
above the lowest.

Yep. I can't tell you how many times I've done the same thing. I end up
buying twice because I tried to save a buck the first time.
