What is the smallest compressor ( tank storage and PSI) that can be used with air tools in my gaurage. Usually I see pretty good size tanks on wheels; I would like to keep the size down to the tight space I have to work with.

What is the smallest compressor ( tank storage and PSI) that can be used with air tools in my gaurage. What air tools are you using? If you buy a compressor thats put out less air then your gnarliest tool uses, you will have a busted compressor within an hour or too. If you buy a compressor that is too small, you will be very limited in what tools you can use with it. If all you want to do is use it for a nail gun and a air imapct wrench, you can go small. If you want to use air sanders and HVLP guns to paint your car, you need to go 60 gallon minimum (bolt to floor kind). What tools are you planning on using? That will determine what compressor you need. Zach |
