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.

large air suckers are a DA, any sander, paint tools, and any grinder type tool. The issue is how they use air...its a constant stream of air to make those tools work.
I have had my impact gun and racket work from an $89.00 super small tankless compressor and they work fine. I finally ended up wit a huge 220V compressor, and I still have several of the smaller ones, including the really small one. You can run any air tool, its just a matter or how long the compressor gets to sit and cool dowm between filling the tank...if it runs all the time the compressor will break down fairly quickly. My buddy bought the biggest one HD sells and built his house...he went through three compressors by the time he was done and ended up under warranty each time... Rich |
