Air Compressor

Air Compressor?

Thinking of buying a air compressor to run air guns like roofing nailers or framing nailers. Wondering if anyone had any ideas?

There are many different types of air compressors out there. The more portable ones are only going to have a capacity of a few gallons. If you are running 1-2 guns you will probably be fine. If you are planning on using a lot of pneumatic tools at the same time you might want to step up to a 25 gallon or more. Not as portable, but you can set it up on a jobsite and run multiple lines off it. You can get one of those starting at 250 dollars depending on where you shop. You can get package deals that come with a nailer, but those are portables. I would get a compressor with a direct drive and go oilless. Easier to maintain, if you use it heavily, drain the water out of it daily.

Tank capacity has everything to do with peformance. Try running a pneumatic drill with a portable air compressor for more than 5 seconds. If you look at the specs on your air tools it will tell you the minimum tank capacity required to operate your tools.
