Well, I did, sorta.  I mentioned that a compressor that could go up to
150 psi being handy with an impact wrench.  Although I did not
specifically say two stage, only a two stage will go that high.

Hey!  If 150 psi is good, 175 has got to be better, no?  Sounds like
something Tim Allen would say.

Anyway, during the summer, air compressors can pump a lot of moisture
down the hose.  For painting, I used a desiccant moisture trap.  I've
always wondered if a coil in the beer refrigerator would work well enough
to condense the moisture so it can be drained.
