If you want to to paint work and using the DA much you will need a good size tank .You will proberly need to spend a little more than 300 bucks .Maybe 500-600.I bought a used one that the guy had paid $1300 ,it was 2 years old, I paid $400. It is much more enjoyable if you build a shed behind or beside the garage to house the compressor to cut back on the noise. Sams Club now sells a pretty good jack and jack stands for a very reasonable price. Unless You have a tractor or heavy piece of equipment 2-3 tons should work nicely.Happy Hunting!
