Can this run a typical 6 Gallon compressor and some lighting? I have an enclosed trailer set up as a mobile work shop. Will this run them?

I will have to say no to that! It won't even run my 900 Watt microwave I have in my semi. They tell you the inverter is 3000 W but actually it's only 1500. I was disappointed when I receive the inverter and it said it on the box.

Yes but probably for only one hour at peak draw of 1500 Watts the 3000 Watts is only a surge rating...as well this inverter fan is extremely loud so it needs to be installed in a remote location otherwise the noise might drive you crazy

It will work well for those purposes, but keep in mind that the tank capacity is 1.5 gal, & therefore the compressor will kick over often at 75 psi or higher if you're constantly blowing air. Not that it can't handle it - It's a workhorse to be sure, but if you don't want the compressor coming on every 2-3 minutes (because it is quiet, but not silent), you might want something with a bigger tank.

My small (6 gallon)compressor has plenty of power. I set the pressure to between 80 and 100lb. I operate everything from this tool to brad nailers to my big framing hammer...I shoot a lot of nails and brads...framing, laying sub-flooring, laying hardwood floor and trim work/base board etc..

NO it's to small. You also need to remember that you will need a large Inverter probably 2000 watt or more to start the compressor. I am running a 130 watt refrigerator with 2 100 watt panels, and it's powered by a 750 watt Inverter that just starts it. My opinion is with today's technology it is not practical to run A/C.

Nope, nothing. Wouldn't you think it would? Anyway, great little compressor. Just plan a trip or two to the hardware store before you can actually use it.

James, this thing will need a lot of air to work effortlessly so without knowing the exact specs of your compressor, I'm guessing since you are a DIYer that it WILL NOT be up to the task. But I could be wrong... verify your compressor output, tank size, etc and compare with the requirements stated for the grinder. Good luck!

I run it with a regular compressor. But you might want a holding tank if you are going to use it alot. Its pretty taxing on the smaller compressors.

This runs on compressed air. It does need a pretty large compressor (or at least one with a large buffer tank) to make good use of it, but I do find it to be effective. With a small compressor, this will be not terribly useful.

The manual requires 80 - 100 psi. I am running this on a large compressor, but I see no reason why the tank you are looking at wouldn't work. My BOSTITCH PN50 Mini Impact Nailer can drive a 3-1/2" hot dipped deck framing nail into a 6"x6" post in less than 2 seconds. Don't know how I got along without it.

I'm just using a Porter cable pancake compressor 2hp 6 gal, and it works great!

Yes, it should no problem. I don't know what kind of work light your running and how many amps it pulls when you turn it on but i've ran a 1500w space heater, 15 amp circular saw and even my 30 amp 8000btu camper a/c unit before and it handled them individually so a 1200 watt light should be a cake walk

I would suggest a little bigger compressor. 3gal will function but it may run more than you would like

Any 5 to 10gal shop/garage compressor should be fine. I used the 5gal I have in my garage and had no issues. I wouldn't use anything smaller than that tho.

Simple answer in no, I don't think so. Look at the cfm that your compressor will deliver which is 2.75 cfm and a working pressure of 43-to-50 psi; air consumption of 5 cubic feet per minute for the paint gun. I'm using a 3.0 HP compressor with a 15 gallon tank and it works well.

No. The compressor is way to week. You need at least 60 and 80 gallon for optimum results. I tried it with a 5 gallon a week ago and it was terrible. The thing wouldnt even spin.

No. Buy the 6 gallon compressor. Its has a lot more power and isnt so cheaply built

The compressor has enough to run it. but ig you use it for any length of time you might run out of air.
