  I use a lubricator at each tool that needs oil.  Its a little clear 
plastic thing that you fill with oil and screw into the tool, seems to work 
fine and keeps my hoses clean.

  Don't know, my new compressor came with a auto-drain thing and I have my 
doubts its worth the expense.  Every time the compressor shuts off, its 
blows off some air and sprays water on the tank but I still have to drain 
the tank at the end of the day.  Maybe less water in it then without the 
auto-drain but it sure does not seem like it.  The HF one goes in the 
bottom of the tank which should work better.   I did look at the HF drain 
when I was deciding about which compressor to get, it looks like a good 
idea.  I am beginning to believe that there is nothing better than a good 
ol valve to drain moisture with.
