a AAA+ machine best i ever owned Date: October 9, 2008
"this is the best air compressor i have ever owned, it recovers very fast and i can use all my air tools without waiting for it to build up. very nice desighn and durable light weight but heavy duty. if you do not purchase this one then something is wrong with you. the very best bang for your buck."

you want more than 15 gallon to run air tools and paint guns, trust me!! I don't care what some guy claims, my dad has a 30 gallon I borrow often and it is barely enough to run a high speed air drill and or die grinder

ya know, i'VE been thinking of getting a home compressor as I hate running into my shop or borrowing my dad's for home use, and I was thinking about the craftsman ones as that's what most of my home tools are......^^^^^^so is that what you have??? if so how's it work??

<is a collision repair painter
for example: A solid CAST IRON, twin cylinder compressor pump for extreme durability. Offers 135 PSI maximum pressure and air delivery 6.5/5.5 SCFM @ 40/90 PSI. Features pneumatic tires, efficient Solberg style intake filter, and a heavy-duty handle.
this is a mill of the road impact from sears http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00918852000P?vName=Tools&cName=Compr essors+%26+Air+Tools&sName=Automotive+Air+Tools#de scriptionAnchor
requirements:
Produces 500 ft./lbs. of ultimate torque great for heavy equipment maintenance, auto repair. 1/4 in. air inlet. Average 5.0 SCFM at 90 psi.
you will barely have enough air to run that
this die grinder takes more air than that compressor will provide
this primer gun uses 8.5 scfm at 40 psi that compressor is not enough for primer either
