it will have oil in the air.
Get a diaphram (vice piston) compressor. The only way it can have oil
in the output is if it is purposefully introduced.

Another possible solution recently popped up. Someone
at work showed me
canned air - that is rechargable. The can comes with a "charging bay" which
is a little tiny stand with a tiny compressor in it. You push the expired
canister down on it and the compressor clicks on and recharges the can of
air. This seems like a really great idea to me... but I haven't actually
used one - just seen it, so I don't know if these have their own
shortcomings. If not, I'd like to go buy one of these.
