Shop air dilemma

Buy one of these......It will last a lifetime, and give you all the air you'll ever need. I have one and love it.

Champion® Heavy-Duty 5HP 2-Stage 80-Gal Air Compressor

And 220 single phase. I would buy a Quincy or Champion. 5/80 is perfect for most shops. I sold many that size. Body shops usually ended up with 2 because of the blasting and constant hours of sanding and air use.
