I notice that all of the portable 33gallon and under Sears compressors only have a 50% duty cycle.

Okay... I need to start my bodywork on my 77 f100. I have a small compressor and found that my new DA is not worth using with this compressor.. So after some research of my checking account, this forum and the Sears website I found that I may just keep my small compressor and buy an electric orb. sander.. I got a guy in the office who swears by an orbital, ELECTRIC grinder type sander...

I could spend less than 100.00 now , rather than 400.00 on a compressor and still get my body ready??? That makes my checking account happy... I know I would like a nice 33 gallon compressor, but should wait a while... I don not use the compressor daily as I am not working on the truck daily, that darn job, wife and kids keep getting in my way!!!
Thanks..

Does this sound reasonable?
