Small air compressor suggestions.

[herb fellows]

Given their ever present nature as a display in Home depot, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the PC 6 gallon pancake.
It's loud, as pretty much all oil less compressors are, but mine has been faithful for light use over 5 years. I think they go for about $169, which does seem pricier than most mentioned here.

I came across this one. It looks very interesting. Mac700 The clicky seems to be beyond my abilities this morning.

I have looked at the PC pancake as well as the HF pancake. I would prefere a oil lubricated unit. I think they tend to last longer and are not as noisy.
