Re: air compressor (komat)
I use one of less size and hp, and it works reasonably well. Great for impact air ratchet... prolly wouldn't use it for something that requires a lot of air. But for me, as an enthusiast, this is great for basic repairs and upgrades. I spent $200 on my "Husky" setup from Home Depot. Call it ghetto or cheap, but as a high school student really wasn't looking for the Snap-On adventure.

Re: air compressor (komat)
get whatever you can afford, if your only doing work by yourself, your not going to have that big of a duty cycle. That would be fine though, price seems good, plus you get the tools

Wrong forum.
I work at Sears. The compressor itself is a good unit to work with. Has good SCFM rating. But, the impact wrench and air ratchet suck donkey *****. Don't think you're going to be breaking crank pulley bolts anytime soon.

Indeed.
She can't buy anything for friends. Only herself or immediate family members (IE. mom and dad).
I pretty much got in trouble for buying 5 refridgerators and 5 stoves/ranges. They're all for my dad's apartment complex. I had to proove it to them. Thank God I'm still there...

Re: (v4lu3s)
the 33 gal is decent
I have this one at my house
60 gal, 175psi, i like it better than the smaller tank, it doesn't run out of air as quick
http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr...ssors
along with this impact gun
excellent gun, i'm very happy with it
http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr...Tools
it does 800 ft/lbs of torque
ive only had one instance where a crank bolt wouldn't come off
I couldn't belive it
