Got to purchase an air compressor for my home. What does an individual even search for. What do you folks use. Heaps of choices out there. 60 or 80 lady? What cfm and strain should an individual search for.
It wouldn’t get utilized regular. Yet, need a decent quality.
Remove instruments, 3/8 effect, 1/2 effect, 3/4 effect. Would be utilized the most, however would have no desire to preclude having it plumbed for a 1 inch influence for semi tires in the event that need be.
Much appreciated

Just look at what you want to use it for. which tools or applications. let the tool ratings set the parameters of your purchase.
Unless you plan to take it to a job on occasion you can't get one too big, especially if you intend to spray anything with it. I have a good sized portable compressor that occasionally will blow a 15a circuit. You need at least a 20a circuit at 120v preferably a dedicated circuit. This is especially important if you plan to leave it turned on. Buy the biggest compressor you can support electrically.
