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.

I've been using a 7HP 60 gallon 220 Husky from HD for 5 years of body & paint, mechanical, whatever I need all day long. I've been very impressed and it only cost $400.00. I'd buy another one.
Don't ever buy a compressor with the motor and pump integrated, the oil free type. They're pure junk. I had 2 Craftsman compressors like that, they both sent the "rod" through the middle of the "piston". The first was still in warranty, the second wasn't. Never again. Just make sure it has oil and a belt. |
