We have a Campbell Hausfield double tank nail gun compressor from Costco. It's really not the ideal solution though, because it can't hold enough air to fill a tire, so I ALSO bought a 10 gallon air tank to keep enough air capacity on hand that I wouldn't have to drag out the Honda 2000 to fill the compressor (which it will happily do)

I used the above Rube Goldberg setup to change the tire (when we recently had a blowout) for both the air gun (air tool) and to top off the spare which had dropped to 70psi. (yes, I hadn't crawled underneath to check it recently)

I gave away the "free" nail gun that came with the compressor, so I can't take it back to Costco. No good deed goes unpunished apparently.

But if I had it to do over again, I really like the look of the tank that Harley mentioned......pricey, but a heck of a lot more "svelte" than the outfit I'm carrying around. Wish I would have known about that before buying all these bulky tank things.
