Tools (Part 1)

I still need to replace the rear motor mount on Ceras Victoria. Shops were quoting me $250 - $400 base, and if you read the reviews of the shops it was likely to be much more.
So, rather than paying someone else to do it I figured I'd dump the money into tools that will work now and let me get other things done in the future.
One such tool is an air compressor from Craftsman. 26 gallon, so, not huge, but decent enough for what I need, and a 20 gallon increase over the tiny pancake my dad has.
Ordinarily I would not consider this newsworthy, but I should let the pictures do the talking:





























I would like to note that on the third image, you can see a bit of the compressor on the raised platform in my garage.
Also, as the last picture shows that box is clearly taller than my car (my car has about 4" ground clearance, maybe less, and the box is taller by a few inches).
Thank you to the random guy in the Sears parking lot that helped me put it in the car.
The guys at pickup didn't think it would fit in my car. (They did not help other than wheeling it out to the car on the dolly.)
