I think anything that's not an oil-less compressor will be much quieter than the oil-less one you are running now. I was almost happy when mine died.

I need to make a water trap system like you have. I run a hose straight off the compressor now with a cheap tiny water trap right after the regulator, but it's really woefully inadequate.
Humm. Maybe just reply the compressor unit altogether but I still think having more volume would help. I donno that its worth the hassle. One guy here has a 60 gallon compressor and says it keeps up with his Sanders and die grinders, being as space is premium that may do the trick. Oh, trying to move a 80 gallon compressor is a concern for these old bones too.

I got my honey doo list done and spent 3 days detailing my dirt bike to put it up for sale, and working again this weekend. Hope to get back to the rat starting tomorrow.
