Awesome tips man, thanks. My only experience with air is when I worked at GM (auto plant) for 24 years but there the compressors were whole buildings.

I doubt I'll run tools with huge CFM requirements so should be ok. I heard about the drain plug (whilst pressurised) thing also so all good there but not every time I use it...That's new to me so thanks. Also the mineral oil on the couplings is a good tip.

I think my air requirements are fairly domestic, blowing out my guns when cleaning, pumping tyres on my vehicles etc. so I don't think whatever compressor I get will have too hard a life.

I appreciate you taking the time to write this and help me with a few tips. 👍🏼
