Get anything...
...but an oil-less compressor. I bought a 30 gal Craftsman which works as advertised but the noise drives me crazy and I had to put an oversize circuit breaker in the panel (which is against code out here) because of the startup draw which goes as high as 45 amps even though it's 15 continuous amps. It runs constantly when I have to use the die grinder or the drill motor a lot, riveting less so. I can't justify getting an oiled 220v compressor now but sure wish I had in the first place.
