I have a 60-gallon. You'll need one that has enough cfm for your tasks so you're stopping painting waiting on air pressure to build back up. I bought mine at Harbor Freight 12 years ago for around $450.

I use a 15 gallon 3 hp compressor. Approx $100-$150 at home depot I think. I'm not sure of this gun sets requirements, I ended up returning this set it didn't spray too well and made a honking sound. If u are looking for using a spray gun with a smaller.compressor...look into a low volume low pressure gun set.

I have "2" 2.5hp elcheapo compressors plumbed together and they work fine.I adjusted the pressure switches to be simultaneous as best as.They run all my air tools and I am a qualified mechanic of 40 odd years albeit die grinders you have to let the air build up on big jobs.The cheaper the item the more you need to look after them but so far so good 5 years now.I only use them at home, if you have a work situation multiple users of high consumption then you cant escape having to buy a good compressor.

It will probably work but what I would look at is the type of compressor you have

No, but you can buy a small converter for @$10 (I think??) at Radio Shack or any hardware store - or do at Amazon while you're buying the Compressor.

you need a compressor with a minimum of a 5 gallon storage tank on it. Its not the pressure but the volume you need.

Most compressors should handle the job. Portable "pancake" styles on up to large commercial units. Just don't try to use a car battery powered inflator. Obviously the smaller compressors are not as efficient as the larger ones.

Any compressor will work for a limited time before the pressure is too low. But I would think that is too small to work for more than a minute or so. Others may have a different experience. If you have enough air to power it, this is the most fantastic purchase of a piece of precision equipment that I have ever made. Works extremely well. I would have expected it to be 3-4 times the price

I would say this would work fine. This is one super compressor for almost everything. Would buy another one in a heart beat.

This is just a light duty compressor. If you are worried about it not doing what you need it to do then buy the right one the first time. Sure you can add a tank to it down the road. Once again this is a light duty compressor that does not have a very high duty cycle and you will probably burn it up. Look at the higher end units than Air Lift sell. Compressors in those kits are made by Viair.

I would like to try and answer this question but the question does not make sense. Are you asking about what kind of compressor you should buy to power the pin nailer?

Make sure you add the oil that comes with the unit. As far as what you need will vary with what you want to do with it. Great little compressor. Make sure you check and clean or replace the air filter from time to time and make sure you follow the scheduled times to replace the compressor oil. That oil is the life blood of the machine. If you keep all this in mind you will get many years of use from your compressor.

A smaller compressor would work, but if you need tons power at least a 19cfm compressor. I would recommend the aircat gun, am not too happy with the CP7748.

Typical small compressor noise-should be no problem for the short periods you use this type of compressor.

I use a hitachi EC510 model. 6 gallon capable of working! !!! 2 guns. I use this fir my coil roofers as well. Best lil compressor you can buy. Just look at the customer ratings. Of course one can save money buy getting a throw away from harbor freight. Trust those red portercable lookalikes from H.F. are pretty darn reliable. The name escapes me but just walk into the nearest HF and you'll see it it's like 60$ + tax. So if your only doing smaller jobs thus will get you going fine

this model wouldn't be powerful enough. do a search on the name and see the other compressor's that they offer. I can say that it is a quality product.

I bought a 110 psi compressor with a 2 liter tank. Works like a dream. Make sure to have tight hose connections because they can and will seperate due to the high pressure.

I guess you could use this compressor without a tank.. Like one of them tire pumps for emergencies... Depending on your aplication. Do you need volume and pressure at once? Or low gradual flow of air to build pressure.. I recommend a tank, even if it's just a 1 - 2 gallon tank..

The air compressor is a must. My husband has one, which I believe he bought at Sears. This thing is really big!
