If you really need the CFM, they have a quiet one for $100 more.

With powerful battery tools, I haven't flipped on the big IR compressor in a long time, and use the smaller portable Dewalt. I just keep it for bead blasting.

Do you have tools that need that much air?
I looked at that slightly more expensive one too.

There are a few things I'd like to start dabbling in to. Paint, media blasting etc....Hell I'd like to fill my tires without the need to go to the gas station.

My neighbor has a ton of air tools that I have access to also (I've got a key to his garage).
