After having a little experience in the equipment rental business, I've learned a few things about air compressors. In my opinion Speedaire and Ingersoll Rand are top chioces. A brand you may have never heard of is likely even better. That is a Mi-T-M. The small two tank model of Speedaire (8 or so cfm) is too low volume to run a 3/8 allflo pump. I bought an Ingersoll Rand, but it showed up without the honda engine I ordered (11 or so cfm). So I sent it back and bought a Mi-T-M (13.1 cfm). I also want it to last since it's quite expensive. So I built a roof too keep rain and chems and sun off of it. Check out my photos.
