Air Compressor - what to buy? now "Most Useful Tool"

[aculda@cogeco.ca (Adrian C.)]

yep ..
that is right ..
a tool is a tool ..
even if its old and "outdated" it still does the job just fine
no need to trow it away !!
just get some storage boxes and store them nicely
u might need them someday
and i also do have the Propane space heater which i forgot to mention (
80,000 BTU ) and its a bit on the noisy side ..
mine never trew flames unless the tank was almost empty.
BUT it dont really matter since soon im moving into a new house with a
heated garage
and before i do anything else is to have that hoist intalled and have the
floors sealed ( everyone gets thier occasional spill or leak )
