I figured this would be a good one to start with. It has really good reviews and it is only $129 and I know it is oil less and loud, but for what I mainly need it for at this time, I think it will do. I mainly want it for inflating, blowing off parts, possible running impact wrench to rotate tires on occasion, etc. From what the reviews say people have run impact wrenches off of it, you just might have to wait for the compressor to catch up which is no big deal for me at this time. I have read that some people say they have even run a paint gun off of this compressor. I figured for my first compressor and $129 dollars it is hard to beat. Worst comes to worst, if in a year or two I find this compressor to be too small, I can buy a nice larger unit and I will have this for a portable one to use around the house. Thanks for all the help.

Also forgot to mention that this compressor does not come with a hose or anything, just the compressor, which is no big deal because from what I have gathered most of the time the hoses that do come with the compressors are junk anyways. I am going to get the compressor tomorrow. I was going to get an air hose too, are those green flex zilla air hoses any good?
