[Shop-talk] Looking to buy a compressor

[Darrell Walker]

One more option I’ve added to the list:

Ingersoll Rand SS5L5 (from Northern Tool)

This is a 5 HP unit, and a little more expensive than the other options.  I don’t think I need that much compressor, but if it might be more reliable, certainly worth considering.
