Food for thought. My big deal for a compressor has always been for impact wrenches,air drills etc.Now i find I use a cordless impact, drill etc all the time. I don't do body work so I don't need a compressor for that. In my clean barn I have a 5 hp compressor and in the wall I ran about 150' of 2" schedule 80 PVC . PVC is pretty cheap but if it bursts it makes shrapnel that can't be spotted with X-ray. It's either old age or the advent of all the cool rechargeable cordless tools but I find my biggest use these days for the air compressor is to air up tires and to blow out the shop.
