What is a good air compressor to buy?

That's a bummer.

Should I spend twice as much for this Ingco? Since they have presence locally, I'm hoping they'll have service and support... at least during the warranty period.

also got one almost exactly like that (fujima 2hp 24L). oil lubricated, i fill it with mag1 non-detergent. incredibly noisy i've been using it for several years now. plasma cutting, sand blasting, etc. heavy duty tasks.

btw if you don't need the high pressure (required for sand blasting) you might want to opt for the vespa 1/4 HP. belt driven so it's reasonably quiet. those things last forever. i used to have one

Be careful when using air compressors on high-end graphic cards ...

vespa or ingco. i think they deliver about the same performance.
what makes them more useful, i.e., versatile, is the blow gun one uses them with.
