    I have a 60 gallon craftsman oil less compressor and it has worked great for the 6 years or so that I’ve used it. Not ideal for large volume painting or stuff like that. The only down fall is it’s loud.

    All he as to do is scan his Lowes veteran card (if he has one, if not its easy to sign up)

    The 60 gal is hands down better than the 25 for extended use. The oil-less is too noisy. If you are running a cutoff wheel or die grinder for a long time, the compressor will run to keep up, but it will keep up.

    I have an Ingersoll SS4 from circa 2016 maybe? I think it was $700 on sale at TSC. Worth every penny.

    Personally I’d spend another $50 and get the I.R

    good point - that one looks to have a decent bump in CFM, and looks like it refills the tank twice as quickly as the others.

    An IR from TC is likely what I will be getting, once I have my garage set up for 240V
