I used some soft thick hockey puck looking things on mine and they really help as stated above. Thing is though air power is really slipping away due to more efficient battery powered stuff unless you paint or blast . Even small compressors both battery and plug in can now handle bigger tire and moderate air tool needs so theres that. My 80 gallon now just sits there taking up space most of the time.
