A 5 horse compressor is more than the average weekend mechanic needs, but I do agree that the biggest compressor you can afford will be the best in the long run. I have a 21 year old Campbell Hausfield that I completely neglect. I had to change the cutoff pressure switch recently, but other than that, no problems. It's only a 1 1/2 horse motor, but I have rebuilt many engines, removed many tires, and butchered many a paint job with it. An impact, air ratchet, and chisel are essential. Make sure you buy a set of impact sockets. NEVER use regular hand tool sockets. They can shatter and cause you serious injury. Always wear eye protection. Also keep your air tools well oiled with a quality air tool oil.
