I don't use a lot of air tools and I don't really plan to go that route but my existing air compressor barely functions to fill car tires (its a 2 gallon Coleman Powermate). Looking for something that will be able to run an undercoating gun for FF once per year, fill tires and use the blowgun for isolated tasks. If I ever end up going pneumatic tools I can reconsider but that is a very remote scenario.
Looking at a pancake style with the following specs:
6 gallon
150psi
0.8hp/10.5amp
2.6SCFM @ 90psi
My spray gun is rated for 6-9CFM @ 40-100psi. I figure for once a year it will likely work, maybe as well as my HF airless sprayer. Mainly I want the benefit of not needing umpteen aerosol cans to get inside doors, frames, etc as I can run at attachment on the air sprayer. Will this suffice? I've found the HF unit needs t re-charge frequently and will loose prime fairly easily so I don't think there will be must difference using a smaller compressor like this.
