I'm not sure how well this new guy is going to fit in 'round here. what's this
nonsense about a 'budget' for a tool and sensible needs analysis? <grin>
marcus, if it were me, I'd probably check out craigslist or similar and see if
I could pick up a used oil-lube pump. and get a bigger one than you think you
want now, even if it's not the grandmaster of compressors. you'll always want
it to be bigger.
