Need new compressor - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

So whats good out there. I cant really spend alot of money. I was looking into a 60 gallon vertical unit, from ingersoll rand or industrial air. Anyone have any experiences with either of these units? We mostly just run small tools, wrenches, impacts, and wiz wheels, with the ocasional paint gun thrown in so our air demand isnt too high. I am leaning towards the industrial air unit, only because it is about a hundred buck less, but I dont want something thats going to burn out on me either.

+1!! I have an eaton 5hp single stage... 7.5hp pump slowed ona 5hp motor... awesome compressor for the money... Is it a quincy? No, but it was half as much... if oyu have the $$$ to spend, by all means get a quincy, but I have yet to find a dis-satisfied eaton owner on the web.
