I've had my trusty 26 gal craftsman compressor for 15 years if not more. It has served me well powering my IR2135 and friends. It started to have a minor leak about 2 years ago but now the motor finally stopped working. I'm a home gamer/weekend warrior at best.
15 years has changed quite a bit. I now own an M12 3/8 stubby and ratchet, and a Makita 18v 1/2 mid-torque.
In the last year the only time I've used the air compressor was for the HF brake bleeder. Makes me wonder if i can go without an air compressor. Its nice to have and I'm sure I'm not thinking of all the things i can use this for.
What is the smallest tank a home auto repair guy should have? I'm debating on giving it up completely or going smaller. The pancakes i highly doubt can even build up enough pressure.
