I know this subject has been covered a lot in the past, but I was not
in a position to buy at that time.  Now I have $150-$250 available to
buy a new or used air compressor.  What should I look for?  I believe
that the cfm rating is probably of the greatest importance, but how
high do I need to go?  I want to be able to use impact wrenches, air
ratchets, sanders, grinders, and possibly paint guns someday.

Suggestions on brand names?  I've seen used:

  Sears
  Campbell-Hausfeld
  Ingersoll-Rand
  US

Thanks!
