FWIW, a few years ago I build a fence, so used that as a reason to buy
the HF compressor listed below:

With it I run air tools, paint guns, hand-held sandblaster type guns,
etc.   Purely hobbyist stuff.  Has dual gauges, I added a dryer and
quick disconnect fittings.  Bought a combo air tool kit, probaby have
less than $150 in the whole thing.  I paid $99 for the compressor a
few years ago, and it's still going strong.  Oil engine, so I guess it
could be rebuilt.

I take that back, I do have $150 in a very nice finish nail gun, that
I use for in-house projects.  I want to get a garage system so I have
fittings everywhere and can plug up at the job site and not have to
run hoses...

I may have to see if it's tunable, as it's 115cfm peak by those specs
listed above...
