Air Compressor - what to buy?

[amalventano@sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

that unit has their largest 115vac compressor. even their humongo model (85?
gal) has the same compressor, meaning that it will last a bit longer with
continuous use, but it will still run out eventually. i find that with the
25 gal model, i can use the die grinder wide open for ~2 minutes before the
regulated pressure starts to dip.
