[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1914615, member: 7488"] Clay is right on with the capacity recommendation - you need a large volume of air for impacts. I have a 33 gallon that runs fairly high CFM ([URL="http://www.craftsman.com/craftsman-33-gallon-vertical-portable-air-compressor/p-00916472000P"]this Craftsman[/URL]) and it works greats. Only problem is mine is oil free, which I concede has a much lower longevity. I use mine for impact tools, angle grinder, so demanding tools when I use it (no nailers or paint spraying for me), but I don't use mine frequently, so it's the trade off I made. But you can snag them on sale for $300 -33 give or take. Which is pretty reasonable. If you can find something along these lines that is oil-lubed, you've be another step up. [/QUOTE]
