how well does this work with air tools…impact gun? air ratchet? die grinder?..can it keep up?
very interested.
Would this fit in the trunk of a car?

It may… it’s a bit on the low end range for air tools imo.
I was thinking about getting it for my PAC system, but it doesn’t put out enough cfm for that ;\

the tools I have require 4-5 cfm, they are not big, but I want them to work properly. I always heard that you go 50% bigger than required. so a tool that needs 4cfm would need a 6cfm compressor…is this correct?

It runs an impact gun and ratchet pretty well. When I change my wheels, it kicks on twice for all 4 wheels, never looses enough air to have to wait though.
It is on the small side for a die grinder, works OK in bursts only, anything over 10 seconds its almost useless.
It should fit in the trunk of a car no problem.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s so you don’t tax the machines capabilities and make it work harder than it should.
Like, running at 100% capacity all the time.
I’m not totally positive on that one.
But I know for my PAC I don’t want the minimum required, I would like quite a bit over.
