They are toys that run 3600rpm,the noise will drive you nuts, and you'll wear out that tiny little high speed motor in a hurry if you use it seriously. You want a belt drive for that low speed long lasting soothing air compressor sound. The only way I would consider a direct drive is if size/portability was a serious issue. I use a 2hp, 2cyl, belt drive, 11 gal Sanborn with wheels to run impact, die grinders, touch up gun, etc. Not big enough for sandblasting and probably not big enough to run a full size spray gun.
