Would this be a good compressor?
I've always wanted a compressor, but never did buy one. I don't want it to be big because I only rent the places I stay, and currently the place i'm at has a garage, so it'd be nice to have one. But when I move, maybe the new place won't have a garage so I want it to be small enough where I can tuck it in the basement out of the way when i'm not using it.
What do you guys think of this, would this compressor combo be okay for most jobs (installing lowering springs, turbo kits..etc). I figure any airtools would beat remove bolts by hand.
Includes:
8-gallon cast-iron compressor - 1.3HP, 125 max PSI
½" impact wrench
3/8" ratchet
Spray gun
2-in-1 nailer/stapler
Tire inflation gauge
64-piece hand tool set

Re: Would this be a good compressor?
it all depends on what you want it for, but ya CFM is where its at. and you may want to get something a little bigger than 8 gal, but if you get an 8 gal get a belt drive compressor. its not half as loud.

Compressor produces 4.5 scfm at 40 psi and 3.7 scfm at 90 psi
i guess it sucks.
Even the more expensive ones I was looking at are less than 5cfm@90psi. The only good ones are about $600cdn, 11.3cfm@90psi, but the tank is really big.
