Well, here is my compressor for shop air-Oh I agree for sure. An old fashioned service station of my youth did tire repair and other shop work, They usually had a good old cast iron belt driven compressor for their own work and that extra hose out on the outside shop wall - available with air 24/7.

Circa 1952!
One of the three compressors I have. This is the one when I’m doing anything serious.
