I have 3 air compressors. One little guy for airing up tires in the desert. One medium guy for taking to the desert/around the house jobs/its quiet. And a big boy to run anything off of in the garage.

What was the point of this? haha.

I have an air compressor. Just used it this week to power the impact gun to remove the wheels, and also to air the tires. Now if you mean using the A/C compressor as an air compressor, then no. But there is a conversion for it.

Yes I do as a matter of fact. And I have more air tools than you can dream about. The one I love the most is the hot air tool. Makes a great grilled cheese.

I've got an 80 gallon DeVillbiss ProAir in the garage actually...runs most anything I need.

Having 21cfm is quite a nice thing to have...

My grandpa has one that he got out of a repair shop in his garage. I do most of my work there or at the shop where I can just use shop air. One of these days, when I have my own place, I'm gonna get me an 80 gal tank.
