Well, yes, Oiless is noiser, and probably not as long lived. That said, I got a
Chraftsman oilless at a good price. It is their Black Upright model, stands about 5' tall. I
can't remember the horses, or tank capacity (60gal I think), but it puts out enough to run
a 300ft /lb impact wrench at the end of 100' of air hose. I paid about under $450 dollars
for it on sale. I did a *lot* of prece/feature shopping, and decided on the chraftsman
because after the compressor dies, in who knows how many years, a replacement two
stage oil type replacement compressor will be cheaper than what one would have cost
me outright year before last. even including the price of what I paid for mine.

Four wheel drive allows you to get stuck
