Just picked up a used 20-gallon Husky air compressor for $80. It's a few years old but runs smooth. Need it for framing and trim work. Thoughts?

Husky is decent but I'd stick with DeWalt or Porter-Cable. If it works fine, $80 is a good deal. Check for leaks and oil condition.

For $80 you can't go wrong. I've beaten the crap out of my Husky and it's still going. Just make sure it has enough CFM for your nailers. Should be fine for trim.

Thanks guys! It's 5 CFM at 90 psi, so should be enough. I'll check for leaks. Happy with the deal.

5 CFM is fine. Run a little Teflon tape on the fittings. Enjoy the savings!
