Oil-free is cool. One of the disadvantages of mine is when it is under 40F, it starts very hard and slowly. I have it in my un-heated garage. I assume an oil-free compressor doesn't have the problem for lack of a lubricant that can be too viscous when cold. But I'm not sure if oil-free just means it is a sealed lube system.

I doubt you have to worry about that setup not working out. For some reason I now hope my setup breaks so I have an excuse to get a similar setup.... I swear I sometimes use the floor pump just because I don't want to have the noisy compressor on.
Thanks, and yeah, I know exactly how that is! That was me about three days ago when I went to fire up the old Central Pneumatics; it was so freakin’ loud it tripled my frustration level!
