So.... this is what I bought just tonight: https://www.menards.com/main/tools/...3-c-12910.htm?tid=-4666906969390797097&ipos=9
It turns out there are brands out there, that I've never heard of, such as the Fini (Italian, but made in China) that Mr. Pink suggested, and California Air Tools that someone else mentioned. I was looking hard at the little California Air Tools compressor, and although good, I think it's a little too small. The Fini that Mr. Pink was a bit more than I wanted to spend, and a bit larger. I decided on this bigger, little compressor... supposed to be 2.5cfm@90psi instead of the 1.2 of the CAT. One of the reviews of the CAT had mentioned that blowing dust off used more air than the CAT could really put out reliably. I won't necessarily be doing large areas, but an air nozzle is something I will want to use for drying off stuff....think blowing water off after cleaning an engine bay.
Menard's also had another CAT compressor, but it's not on their website. I think it's this one: https://www.californiaairtools.com/...sumer-grade/1-0-hp-air-compressor/cat-4710sq/
It was on Clearance for a good price.... maybe $160-ish? It's rated for 1000 hours instead of 3000 hours like thier smaller one. No idea what the Fini is good for.
I might return the one I bought in favor of the larger CAT compressor.... haven't decided yet.
