have a fab shop with all the tools i need along with a 20hp air compressor

2.5hp is only good for real small stuff that wont require alot of air really… but are handy

If you are interested in using it for sand blasting at all then it wont work. but for an impact or air ractchet their great!

and for $279 thats even greater!

many heavier duty air tools need at least 5hp…but for the house i guess it is ok

I have the very same compressor/package.

It works fine for impact and rachet. That is about all though.
The 4.2 cfm at 90 psi is pretty low. Many tools require more then that, as I found out when I bought a die grinder rated for 6 cfm @ 90.

If you have room, it’s better off to look for quality used compressors/tanks that shops may be selling off. Something between 15-20 cfm @ 90 psi with a 40 gallon tank would be great.
