Thank you to everyone for your input and advice! Your thoughts have caused me to reevaluate the primary purpose I use tools. 99% of the time I am merely maintaining the cars. I'm not running a professional car repair shop or anything close to that.

I'd love to have a man size air compressor, however there simply isn't enough room in the garage at present. Perhaps the corded/cordless idea is best for now...... when I get into a new house with a larger garage/work shop that idea could change.

Everyone's ideas has caused me to rethink the situation.....
