Default Inline filters for your air compressor hose?

What sort of inline filters or contraptions do you have inline of your air hose from the compressor to keep your tools running in top shape?

I'm waiting for a combination water taker outta and oiler that I won on ebay for 25 bucks, it looks like you mount it on the wall or something and you run your hose from the compressor in on one side and stick another hose on the other side for your tools...I just have to find someway of sticking another hose on the thing before the oiler to fill my tires(oil and tires don't mix)

I use a water seperator and an inline oiler that I bought from Sears. I think I paid 60 bucks for both of them. The oiler is especially handy, because I don't have to directly oil each tool before/after using it.

Oh yeah, as far as filling the tires-I have a shut-off valve and a seperate hose for that. I just used pipe dope and spliced into the feed line before the oiler with a 50' coiled hose for that.
