I'd like to get a compressor that I can run both nail guns off of and air tools, ie, impact wrench, grinder, etc. Not sure how big of a compressor I need for those tools. I assume that a normal 1-2hp pancake compressor will not have enough power for them. So, what should I look for and where????

Thanks,

Zak

i just got a 6hp/30 gal, which should run most of the stuff i want, but would really like the huge 2 stage 60gal that my friend has which would run everything.

look at the tools that you want to run and the SCFM/PSI required to run them. then go look for the compressor that can supply the proper SCFM/PSI. i think the sander and the media (sand) blaster cabinet need the most SCFM/PSI
