Sky is the limit with compressors. What are you looking to invest ? I have an Ingersol Rand 5hp, 240 volt that I bought new in 2001. It has about 5,000 hrs on it, many from my trucking days and then powering a blast cabinet/pressure pot, blasting a complete frame, etc. It cost $1,000 new and they are still close to that in price. 175 psi cut out to run the 3/4" impact I have for the wheels on the Pete. It just keeps running with no sign of getting tired and never any oil residue out the bottom drain. I've been very pleased with it.
