Default Looking at buying a bigger compressor.

A lot of guys are really happy with http://www.eatoncompressor.com compressors. They usually run low RPM (less noise), have good CFM ratings, etc. Only thing is shipping, it was going to cost $250 or so to get it shipped to me (whereas I found my I-R compressor on sale at Grainger with no shipping cost).

I don't remember who makes the big Husky at HD, you might look on the side of the tank for a tag (stamped in the metal).
