Air Compressor

I am looking for some recommendations on a portable air compressor. It will get light use, realistically mostly to facilitate closing down the plumbing of our cape house 6 -8 times a year, as I plan on doing it for a peace of mind every time we are down there between now and say March. Secondarily it will be used for cleaning things, and some nail gun use for shingling and small projects around the place (of course the beach / boat tubes, tires etc).

Should I trust used on CL? Refurbished from Northern? Or new? Any brands and aspects I should be looking for? Finally any useful applications I may not be thinking of?

Go to one of the BIG BOX stores and just spring for a new Porter Cable pancake compressor! $199 and they usually come with the hose and a nail gun!!

The time to buy it is TOMORROW

I have had very good luck with Craftsman compressors...and you can buy REPAIR parts....like the reed valves which went on one because I ran it too much and overheated it....replaced the reed valves and saved a expensive compressor... Can't do that if you buy at lowes etc.
