Well, either I'm getting older or smarter...

It's time to graduate to air tools. Has anyone come across a good deal on a
compressor and impact wrench.

oiled or non-oiled compressor? Minimum size.... psi?

favourite brands for wrench or compressor?

Any input will be greatly appreciated... I hate to go into a purchase like this blind.

Thanks!

MAKE SURE YOU GET AN OILED COMP. (seperate motor and compressor) the oil free ones are LOUD, slow make up time but are cheaper. I have a 20 gal tank, oil free and that works good for most things except 1/2in impacts and die grinders

I watched the sale papers and bought the biggest compressor on wheels from Sears - it has done very well. Can't beat Sears for service.

+1 on "oil less" air compressors. They are made to be cheap, and they are. Stay away.
