Rent a air compressor from a neighbor near you
Nail guns, tire inflation, blowing out sprinkler lines and paint sprayers all want compressed air for an afternoon. A pancake or hot-dog compressor from a neighbor covers all of them.

Renting a air compressor: common questions
Is it loud?
Oil-free pancake units are loud; quiet-series units are much better indoors. The listing usually says which.
How does the security deposit work?
It is a hold on your card sized to the item’s declared value, never a charge. It releases automatically 72 hours after you return the item, unless the owner files a damage claim within that window.
