I'd have a hard time getting by without mine. But I use a lot of air tools too. Just the basic filling of tires is the most useful part. The way air nozzles at gas stations get damaged, depending on gas stations is getting to be a thing of the past for compressed air.
The better ones use oil in the compressor. The dry compressors are OK but tend to wear out faster.

With ten transportation devices with pneumatic tires, from a Silverado
diesel pickup to a wheelbarrow, it seems like somebody always needs air
in the tires. It's only a few miles to the nearest gas station with an
air pump, but the machines want quarters, I don't really trust them, and
since half of the vehicles aren't road legal, I'm stuck with either
loading them into the truck or using my old hand bicycle pump. I don't
check tires as often as I should because of the difficulty of filling them.
After the most recent problem involving a flat-tired lawn tractor that i
had to build ramps for to get it into the trailer and to the dealer, I
began to wonder if a small air compressor might simplify my life. What
do others do? Is a compressor a worthwhile idea, or is there a better
strategy I haven't thought of?
