I bought an air compressor and a portable shop vac today.
The compressor is a Porter Cable Model C5510. I went for it because my other compressor (DeWalt Emglo) was to small for my needs, now I can do almost everything what I have to do on a building site (so far I do not have a shop).
The shopvac is a Karcher Model NT 561 ECO TE. It has an built in power outlet for use with power tools (Mitersaw, router, etc.), that means the vac starts automatically when the tool is turned on and it has an 15sec. overrun to clear the hose when the tool is turned off.

After almost three years in business I learned that you are never done with getting new tools for your jobs. Because for some secial work to do it gives some special tool to have?!
It was not easy to deside but last year in November I bought an enclosed cargo trailer (utility trailer). It is 7' by 16' and 6'6" (inside), tandem axles, electr. brakes, steel frame with silver alu. skin (my silver bullet), curbside side door, rear 50/50 barn doors. In the first weeks of January I coverd the walls with 5/8" (G1S) pine plywood, built two shelfes for hardware and tools, I also built a workbench in it. So far I'm not done with it, because I had to go back to the building sites to get some money in. The biggest parts are done, so now I can finish the trailer piece by piece I'm really statisfied with it (whenever that is?)

When I'm done with the trailer I will post some pics in here but it could take awile.
