That was the approach I took. I found a ~27gal, belt/oil, steel twin cylinder, 110v on CL for $150 (came with hose, trap & reg) Spec'd at ~5.7 @ 90. You have to watch the usage required for the tool though. It runs my CP impact just fine but can't push my son's I/R 2135 enough to even take off a lug nut. I've even used it for grinding/cut-off and painting with no problems. I just can't go continuous, and will have to stop occasionally to let it catch up a little.

I plumbed the garage with two feeds/reels using just hose running in 3/4" pvc for protection/mounting. I suspect if I used ~1-1 1/2" iron pipe it would work a little better?
