I have the same crazy loud compressor from sears as mentioned above. I put mine in an old cabinet with some Styrofoam on the door and its acceptable now. I have been using it quite a bit for many years but I also would not recommend it. you really want a nice 220 compressor if it is a lifetime investment.

If it were me until you retire, I'd just use the local hobby shop on base. It helped me tons of times years ago...then again, I have no idea if they have them anymore.

As a recruiter, we don't typically get duty assignments near installations. The AFB in Vegas, their hobby shop was poorly ran, and then shut down.

I wouldn't go less than 30 gal considering running air tools. And, depending on the type, specifically impact wrenches, 30 gal minimum.

Being military and moving every 2-3 years becomes a HUGE PIA when trying to move this stuff. Last house we rented had a ton of garage cabinets and peg boards, this house has nothing. I just dont want some huge compressor that will be a pain to move around. Then again, it might be more beneficial to start looking into these cordless impacts.
I got fed up with so many thing to charge... phone, iPad, flashlight, 3 handheld CBs, laptop (which I don't often use), recorder, camera, drill, etc'...

I'd take into account that rechargeable batteries deteriorate when not used for a period, get empty and stored that way. Corded tools aren't 'that' bad.

I have the ingersoll rand garage mate. It is wonderful. Super quiet.
I put it though its paces last year and never had the thought that I needed something more.
The usual air tools, paint gun.
I was surprised at how seldom it cycled during use. Especially while painting.
It's easy to move around the shop. Not great to take over to a buddy's house. It's heavy.

After a ton of research I decided on the Husky upright 33 Gal from Home Depot. Its pretty quite, and runs my impact gun with ease. Also purchased the 50ft retractable hose reel from Harbor freight which has worked well
