Twin tank compressors usually are easier to carry between studs if you
have to walk through walls. I have a 10 year old Campbell Hausfield
single tank 1 hp compressor that has served me very well over the years.
I am not running the big guns all the time, but they will keep up with
trim guns easily. I got mine as a reconditioned compressor from one of
the traveling tool shows for $75, but that was 10 years ago.
Peace,
Pat
