I
have a fairly inexpensive 26 gallon Craftsman vertical oil-less compressor
that works OK but would not be my first choice if I had to use it a lot.
Very noisy and cheap gauge. However, one big improvement I made to it
was to replace the drain cock with a ball valve similar to what is described
in this link. It works super.

Subject: Re: Replacing Air Compressor Motor and
Pump
I bought a compressor from Harbor Freight. It is not
an oil-less model and it is still very loud. Also I have doubts as to
whether it produces the advertised capacity as it won't even come close to
keeping up with my diegrinder. It also calls for 30 wt. non-detergent
oil. So in the winter I have to use a heat gun to warm it up as the oil
is too thick and it won't start, just pops the breaker. It also
developed a leak in the pressure switch, which I repaired and has held so
far.

My 5+

expensive.
So, I am
looking for a source for a separate pump and compressor to retrofit to the
tank. This is for my home garage. Mostly, the heaviest load I use it for
are impact wrenches but I do have a sandblaster. I'm thinking 10 cfm at
90 psi will be enough.
I'm leery of
Harbor Freight and was thinking of Northern Tools or
Grainger.
Any
suggestions and pointers would be very much
appreciated.
