Thread: Tools suggestion needed

My air compressor is to small it's a 15 gallon and can't keep up with any of my air tools. I have a die grinder, impact, and ratchet. I have a 28v Milwaukee impact that is amazing. Best tool i've ever bought. I travel to work on peoples car every now and again so it's great to not have to find a power source.

Doesn't sound to bad it won't get the big stuff done but mine won't either so...........Is it a 3/8th drive?

Name brand makes all the difference. I have a porter cable twin cylinder compresor that works great and you can add air by adding another hose, it fits in the back seat of a car and will even run my framing nailer, as important is a decent ratchet with good sockets, I have a set of 188 pc craftsman from, well along time ago, and watch pawn shops for matco and snap-on at some great prices but you have to do your home work.

On a compressor. I'd suggest an oil model. That way it's quieter. Personally you need 120-150psi to run tools well and don't expect that a 20 gallon is going to keep up and that you'll never wait on it. I wait on my 30 gallon at times. But only on super stubborn stuff.

Funny little thing here. Check out the ingersol guns. There's one that is metal bodied, I want to say it's like a 213 or something like that. About 600ft lbs of torque in reverse, 500 forward. Knowing the shape etc of this gun, I got one branded by Stanley new in box at Walmart for $82 out the door in a pinch. I still use that gun and love it. Had it since 2005 and it rips HB bolts off typically.
