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.

HI Jim it’s true get a good size upright that takes up little floor space and can still fit under a cabinet. Thay have some good Husky tanks at HD that have a quit setting so you don’t have condo problem. I think the smallest would be like a 20 gallon1.5-2hp. If you do a lot of sanding, polishing the bigger the tank the better 40gal +.
Its also true that you can get a small tank and a big motor but big motors make big noise in a condo thats not going to go over very well. |
