I know earlier I said the only thing I didn't like about my compressor was that it is really loud but I thought I'd add that certain air tools use a ton of CFM at high pressures, particularly things like die grinders and air drills. When I'm using my air drill or die grinder I get a little frustrated as every few minutes I have to wait for the 25 gallon tank to recharge from about 80psi to120 psi. Below 80 psi, most air tools don't perform very well. Most wrenches don't consume that much CFM or aren't used continuously like a die grinder.
If I were going to buy a new compressor for my garage today, I'd be looking in the 6hp or higher range with around a 30 gallon or larger tank and I'd get something that is quieter than what I have now.
