@HoodTimeWelding not sure what climate you are in but where I am we have to think about water freezing in railings, posts, etc. I know just capping has its downfalls without drilling a drain hole in the bottom plate into the tube cavity as well. I do both. I created many cut files for my tube caps square and round. So cutting them out is super quick. Even if I have to create a new cap that I don't have it takes a few seconds anyway.

Question-What tools did/do you run that others had a hard time keeping up with but this one keeps up well? I ask because my little 3.6 SCFM 19 gallon has always struggled with many of my air tools but worked well until lately for painting cars. Since it's about worn out, I'm thinking of buying this 5.1 SCFM instead of the lower cost 21 gallon 4.0 SCFM in hopes that I may actually be able to run some of the heavy consumption tools at least a little better. It would be nice to be able to cut a small piece of metal or buff away gaskets without having to wait too many times for the tank to fill up.
