[QUOTE="Toasty, post: 7143602, member: 39823"] Air tools are handy, but mostly unnecessary unless you are doing bodywork or metal fabrication. A 1/2" air impact can come in handy from time to time but I find a proper breaker bar with a snipe will do in 99% of the situations. The biggest thing I need at times in the shop is a air die grinder. The noise a large compressor generates in the shop is also of concern. When shopping for a compressor, ensure that you look at how many CFM it puts out at **90 PSI** or more. If it doesnt do 10 or more CFM at 90psi, its essentially useless for air tools for more than 10 seconds of use (air sanders, air die grinder, painting, etc). Then take a look at the motor size and the head unit. DeVillbiss, Ingersol Rand make a very quality piece of kit. [/QUOTE]
