Running my sand blaster, it still turns on more often than I would like. I use it mostly for auto work (air tools and a sand blasting cabinet) while restoring my FJ40 landcruiser. I have a Husky 80 gallon 2 stage compressor. In the new shop, I left it on the skid with a layer of 2" blue foam insulation under it. My big I/R was a a little loud and when I moved to a new shop, I had the compressor bolted to a skid to make it easier to move. I am always on the alert for stuff on CL and most of what I have now came from there and replaced my cheap new things. It doesn't say Snap-On on the box but it always works for me. I have a nice bearing puller from HF that works great. I even buy from HF if that tool will do what I ask of it. You don't need the most expensive tool, but just a good tool. I had a $39 Ryobi biscuit joiner that never was right, I finally bought a PC 557 Type III, works great. After three drill presses picked up a nice old (1951) Delta 17". As I said after 4 compressors, got that right. Picked up a nicer used PM66, a much better machine. I fussed with an old table saw and it was pretty good, but had "issues". I broke down and bought an Akeda and they fit right out of the box. I bought a cheap dovetail jig that I would spend several hours getting it adjusted and making test cuts and then the real ones would not fit right. I should add, that I am not a rich Bas***d, but got tired of buying crap and spending all my time fixing it or trying to make it work.
