Would a 8-10 gallon air compressor be sufficent for normal DIY usage? Im looking for something cheap and that can get the job done and make it easier!


We need a tool forum

 

you wanna check the cfm too. 7cfm should be good for normal ****... if you're gonna be painting though, you might wanna do some more research.

 

Naw this is just for normal air rachets and stuff off that nature no paint duties.

 

help guys

 

I don't know, this is what I have



I think I paid 600.00 for everything including breaker and wiring + compressor.

 

yeah thats a nice piece but definitly way more than i want to spend.. Any one got any cheaper ideas

 

Nope, I bought one to last and one big enough for any job I thought I might tackle.
I already had alot of pnuematic tools from working at a Honda dealership.

Shop air was so nice I gave my other air compressor to my dad to buy this one because I got tired of waiting for air.

Go too small and you will be disappointed.

Do it right the first time.

 

ive got a 15 gallon and it will go too low on pressure lets say if i change 4 tires. a 8 gallon one i think you'd have the motor running quite a lot if you are doing continuous work. if i had any more space i woulda got a 25 or 30 gallon one

 

8-10 gallon is definitely sufficient for normal (non-painting) usage.

i got a 33 gallon and it's mad overkill for working on car

 

i think you are gonna be waiting for the air to build up especially with an air ratchet. i just got the same huskey pro but has duel motors and is 60gals for 399 at home depot
