I have an impact gun, air chisel and an air ratchet. It's for occasional use. The smaller the physical size the better since it will be stored in the basement (I have no garage). What do you guys recommend?

How big of one can you get? They have some real nice upright's for like 600 bucks. You can get an ingersal rand one for that.


You know you will have to run 220 right?

I dont need one that big. I'm not running a shop. I was hoping someone could recommend how many cfm's @ what psi I would need. Thanks!

I have a 26 gallon Husky quiet series and it runs everything just fine.
It's specs are as follows:
155 Max psi (it has a built in pressure regulator but I use a separate dryer/regulator and regulate the pressure at 90 psi)
1.5 running hp
4 cfm @ 90 psi
6 cfm @ 40 psi

I will be the first to tell you though, stay away from the Husky oil less compressors. Mine has popped the motor twice already. First time, Home Depot exchanged it and the second time, they had to send it in and have the entire motor replaced. So that is the same issue on two different compressors. Drop the coin on a better brand name.
