 Most of my best tools are the older ones I've bought second hand at markets & garage sales.

 Yeah if I was wise I would have been searching for a while. Now my renos start this weekend…… I got a few tools already but I didn’t realise air compressors were so fucking expensive.
Might start with a super cheap auto compressor and replace when it shits itself

 Yeah air compressors are super useful. I'm surprised I went so long without one.

I think you're still better off looking through market place or even gum tree first.

 Cheap air compressor, nice nail gun.  Renting a tool for a weekend or so is reasonable as well.
