Text description below sounds like a home duty compressor for occasional
use. Should work.

Hi there, fellow car enthusiasts!

I am looking for a simple air compressor to do simple house work,
nothing too heavy duty. Also, I do not really need to have full
continuous operation as long it can spray a few things in, say,
15 to 20 seconds burst, like: deck stain (light oil base),
oil-based rust proofing (like light oil Rust Check sold at
Canadian Tire and elsewhere) and latex paint. I am not interested
in using it for more powerful air tools.

I am considering this air compressor from Canadian Tire. Would
this do the job?

Thanks again,

Dear Frank,
I think your original post sounded like occasional use.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will pass then. Cheers!

 

Light home use, direct drive noise maker is fine. It also will start right
up in the coldest conditions.
Belt drive for heavy use and in a heated location. Belt drives hard starting
or will not start in freezing conditions.
Have both and the 5 hp direct drive will start in -20F weather every time
unlike the belt drive that struggles at 25F .

I've had the opposite experience. My oilless Craftsman 5 hp does a good job
except when the temps get below -10F or so, then it doesn't want to start,
sometimes. I never had that problem with the 5 hp belt drive that it
replaced. I did change the 10w30 oil in the compressor every fall, though.
With the oilless, earplugs are a necessity, IMO.
