Thread: Settin up my Garage

Tweet

I'm looking to upgrade some of my garage equipment. Right now I'm using a 30 year old home made compressor with no pressure regulator. Anybody got any advice on new ones? I'm only a weekend mechanic so I don't need anything crazy but I need to run tools and such. Do I need a 2 stage? Can I use DA type tools with a single stage? Would I need to go to a much more expensive one if I wanted to spray paint as well? I'd like to find some sort of automotive kit with some new air tools and line if it's out there. Sears has one for around $300 or so but I'm assuming I can only use air ratchets and stuff with it. What's a good brand/dealer? I'm also going to pick up a new floor jack and stands. Should I really bother with anything over 3 ton? Anybody lookin to sell? : } I'm reading through some of the threads on the subject but still have some ?s Thanks for any advice. ---Rich
