[QUOTE="UnSafe, post: 1914746, member: 100"] If you're planning on air compressors for working on projects in your garage or shop, bigger is (usually) better. Air impact wrenches, small sandblasters, rotary grinders/ cutters, air chisels and other similar items suck air. There's a limit on how much honest HP a 110v motor on a 15 Amp line can produce, despite the ad claims. 220v opens up a better selection of compressors, and depending on your intended location, might be a fairly easy wiring job (Think there may actually be a thread here about that). If you're careful, CL, classifieds or garage sales might offer what you need for a price you can afford. [/QUOTE]
