CRAFTSMAN Air Compressor, 6 Gallon, Pancake, Oil-Free with Accessory Kit $188.58

For a moment I thought it's oil free pancakes

It's not very good for anything besides blowing up tires

Awesome compressor for running brad nailers and framing guns. I have also used them for roofing and work quite well. They have two hose hook ups on them as well so can run a few nailers at a time.

I had no idea Craftsman still existed as a brand with the decline of Sears. Apparently now owned by Stanley Black and Decker. I could use a smaller compressor for som Crown Moulding and trim work I'm doing, will look into this one.

They work fine for brads and nails.. I have a larger one in the garage, and then a small 2 gallon one thats easy to move around. Its mostly for inflating things, but I find it a nice size for my air nailer.

I didnt look how much this one weighs, but at a certain size they become too heavy to carry around easily, and not large enough to be useful for air tools.

damn still too expensive for me to just blow up tires

Looks like a rebranded porter cable pancake, right down to the accessories. Those were down to $100 or $130 a few years ago.

Great little units, loud, but solid. Id recommend hearing protection if you're going to be using it indoors or working near it.

Actually, I think rolling the paint on is the real easy part.
The hard part is all the prep work to get ready - washing the walls down, fixing holes, sanding (if needed), masking, removing outlet/ switch covers, cutting in the edges, etc.
I think the rolling part was only less than 1 hour for a room with 2 coats.
The other parts were like 3 hours. Cutting in the edges was the longest/ hardest part - was well over an hour

Spray painting only makes sense for rough/ complex surfaces that are otherwise hard to paint like fancy interior doors, wood louvres, California shutters, brick walls. Also spray painting is good if you want flat glossy surfaces -furniture/ desktops, kitchen cabinets

Spend the extra to get battery operated tools if you can. Wayyy more convenient.

Unless you own a stadium, stick with the roller. Also, spraying walls, unless u r good, has adhesion problems

I got this during prime days for $25. Keep an eye on it.... You don't need more.

This is honestly an amazing compressor to run indoors for a brad nailer but dont expect much for anything else. Runs as quiet as your bar fridge when recovering and punches through shiplap/drywall/stud like a champ with the the right gun. Don't want to thread crap but if your looking for a small unit indoors this is it on sale (129.00) often.
