First option:
$849 https://sydneytools.com.au/chicago-hush50-h-aluminium-silenced-50l-air-compressor-with-6m-puma-hose
Reasons:
- Quiet – no need for employee ear/noise protection.
- Won’t Rust
- Backup Motor, ability to simply switch from one motor to the other if something goes wrong.
- Due to expense, will need to be secured to building.
Will look out for second hand unit or one on special.
Very Cheap alternative:

Might be worth it for the first year until I can afford the additional quality. However I have found that unless the equipment is not made in China or India, they fail very quick.
