If you plan on doing any painting, I do not suggest an inline oiler. It will coat all your hoses & ruin a paint job. I just oil my tools by hand before each use. You could also run a separate line for a paint gun but you would also need a separate hose that must never be used on the oiler side.
: Make sure you oil your air tools frequently. Better yet, but in an "in-line" oiler as well as a water remover. Tools can be ruined (I know) from a lack of oil. Make sure to drain your air tank after each use. This takes the water out of the tank. They will rust thru eventually if you don't (My dad's did).
: You will also want to get one with adjustable air pressure valve, or you can add one to it.
: I have a Craftsman with a 35 gallon tank on wheels. Pretty happy with it.

: : Ok, the time has come for me to buy a compressor for my garage, I plan on using a "DA" sander, an Impact and an Air-rachet, along with some painting of small parts and limited sand blasting (unless I buy a blasting cabinet) What does everybody use or have? I was thinking about a 7HP Husky from Home Depot it comes with a cast iron head and a three year warranty. Any suggestions?????
