Many here will tell you save and buy a big compressor, but I can understand the need for a small compressor. Do yourself a favor and look into California Air Tools air compressors. They are QUIET! Some of the smaller models can be purchased in your price range. I first noticed them on the Depot website.

Yeah, don't have space for a big compressor at all. Just looking for a simple 10 gal or less unit. I will look into the California brand. Any other opinions or ideas??

I picked up a used craftsman decades ago. Still working, but sorta loud. It runs one tool at a time, fills tires and air toys for the beach, and still gets the job done sand-blasting. Just need to wait for it every now and then. I'd be looking at Estate or garage sales. No need to spend big money for your purposes.
I have mechanical Aptitude. I can screw up anything.

No direct experience, but I've almost bought this a few times... just seems like a handy unit to have around. You can get them refurbished. Generally would only go for oil lubricated, but for something small like this, probably okay. https://www.farmandfleet.com/products/56...ASABEgKN1vD_BwE

Thanks guys for all idea's and thoughts. I have been looking on CL for a little while now, but nothing close to me for sale, as of right now. I would prefer a new one anyway, since it would come with some type of warranty. I will look at the models some pointed out here, and see which one will work best for me, thanks again.

If all you want is to fill tires then this would probably be the best choice in your price range. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Campbell-Haus...ressor/28808013But what I've seen over and over is people buy too small. I read a review from a purchaser of one of those $60 pancake air compressors complaining that he couldn't run an impact wrench with it. Gee, who would've thunk. If you are going to run impact wrenches, die grinders, DA sanders, beadblasters, etc. it isn't going to happen without at least 5 hp. Just my
