Small air compressor vibrates around in circles...

Any recommendations to keep my air compressor stationary? It is a small 2-gallon air compressor that has some rubber feet. The problem is it vibrates around in a circle. Bangs the wall or anything near it and messes with the hose.

Common problem. Easy fix is to get a long bungee cord and put a nail in the wall, bungee the sucker down. That helps with noise, vibration, and doesn't stop you from moving it easily.

If it has a hole in the bottom for mounting you could get a pallet and bolt it to that or you could bungee it to the pallet. The key is to add weight and surface area in contact with the garage floor.

Install a turnstile and sell tickets to watch the Amazing Dancing Compressor.

Maybe its a religious thing for your compressor, like the whirling dervishes displaying their devotion.

Problem solved.

I had one that did that years ago. On mine the rubber feet were good so i put a 25 pound hand weight on it, and that kept it from moving around.
