Need a New Air Compressor...Recommendations?

I need a compressor big enough to run a brad nailer, paint sprayer, and an air impact. It would like for it to be on wheels or small enough to move around. I also don't want to spend a ton of money on it, as I will only do it to do some home repairs. After all the home repairs are complete I will probably not use it that frequently.

What is your budget? You will probably need something that puts out over 7cfm for the paint gun. I am not sur about the impact gun, but the brad nailer willl require significantly less.

not much i would recommend from Harbor Freight but their oiled compressors are top notch. I have 2 of them. One small 8 gallon for at my office LINK
and a 21 gallon at my home. LINK
Both are very quiet and reach max psi in less than 1 1/2 minutes. Cast iron sleeved units that will more than likely last you a lifetime.

OP, whatever you do stay away from the HF oiless units. They are shite, I picked up a small one (on sale and open box$35.00) for filling tires and blowing out filters. It would take 5 minutes to fill a 3 gallon tank and was loud as hell. 2 weeks ago someone got into my toolbox and that was the only thing they stole. Didn't even take the 25' pvc hose coiled up on top of it.

I have this one and it does all that you want it too. I shoot a whole row of brad nails and it doesn't kick on.

i have that one at my office and use it commercially. It's a great little unit.
BTW,OP. It comes with a bottle of oil in the box. Don't buy another bottle of oil unless you just want to have more on hand. These units don't really use any oil at all from what i've experienced so far.

To run a HVLP gun, you want the biggest tank and highest cfm you feel like buying. Setting a price first would be easiest
