Yes.

Quote:Sasquatch brings up a good point, check the rpm, a 3400 rpm one will drive you to distraction. I have a twin tank one similar to the ones you posted, but its 1725 rpm. Has run for years with no maintenance, operating air nailers and general duty in the cabinet shop till I ran a line up from the machine shop.
Have you looked for a used industrial one. The big cast iron behemoths run for ever. I picked up a V4 two stage Devilibis for around $500 on auction, had to change out the 3 phase motor but lots of air and quiet.

I'm leery of used compressors unless the tank has been inspected by someone that knows what they are doing and can guarantee that the tank is not going to blow sky high in the near future.
Plus, I'm not ready for a behemoth yet. No space set aside for one in the garage and no way in hell it would go in the basement.

I'll keep looking for one that's 1725 RPMs though to help cut down on the noise. I'm in no huge rush to get one, just a small rush.
