Air compressor to fill up to 60 PSI I am looking for an air compressor and wish to get one which is not under or over powered.

I am looking at one in a catalogue which has the following attributes:

40 Litres/min free air delivery
1hp motor
Direct drive design (what ever that means)
8 Litre tank capacity


I wish to fill tyres at home for my hybrid bikes and mountain bikes up to 60PSI. I will be using a product call "Prestaflator", which is the air trigger with guage and presta valve connector.

I am not asking about floor pumps.
Don't bother with an air compressor. Get a proper bike pump.  They are cheaper, and will fill a tire to 60 psi with minimal effort.  A good bike pump will also require less maintenance. Also it'll only take a couple pumps to top up your tires. Much less time than to drag out a big air compressor.  Have you had problems with standard floor/track pumps? What is your reasoning for getting an air compressor over using a bike pump?
