Would the compressor work well using air wrenches for grinding and wire brushing (small jobs), as well as blowing out the garage?

I run a 1/2 inch impact in short bursts for removing wheels and stubborn nuts and bolts.For nail guns it is great,blowing things off it runs out of air quickly.

This is a great unit and is very quiet. We use ours for trade show demonstrations with several types of air tools. While I am sure that it could run a grinder for small jobs and it most definitely can blow out your tools/workspace you might see more benefit & longer life from a unit with a larger tank. Even though the comparably priced options with larger tanks are louder, they will not run anywhere near as often. If noise is still a concern, for a little extra you might want to look at the Dewalt D55167 (15 gallon).

Tools using continuous air, or blowing, I don't think it would maintain enough pressure. Works great for nail guns, pumping up tires.

Not really. I do use it to blow off tools at job site and that causes it to continually cycle. Grinders, sanders and drills require way more cfm.

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.

The compressor isn't suited to continous grinding, but will work in a pinch if you can be patient enough to grind a bit, let the tank refill, and grind some more. It's far from ideal for a pro that's on the clock, but for occasional home use, it would get you out of a pinch.

It really doesn't have that kind of throughput for air tools. I think you'll just overheat it or plain run out of air because the compressor can't keep up. You can run a large nail gun because it's intermittent use. I blow out the garage but, I don't keep my finger on the trigger full-time.

If its gonna stay mostly stationary, you should get a 20 gallon or so. You can still get one that size in the same price range

I have used a compressor and the air pump at our gas station, both worked fine.

I have "2" 2.5hp elcheapo compressors plumbed together and they work fine.I adjusted the pressure switches to be simultaneous as best as.They run all my air tools and I am a qualified mechanic of 40 odd years albeit die grinders you have to let the air build up on big jobs.The cheaper the item the more you need to look after them but so far so good 5 years now.I only use them at home, if you have a work situation multiple users of high consumption then you cant escape having to buy a good compressor.

Yes, it has been a good compressor for me. I use it for pneumatic nailers, it has a 2 gallon tank which would be excellent for bike tires, it may run a little but ive fill my car tires with it.

No, unless you have a great deal of time on hand. This compressor has a very slow recovery rate even when plugged in. I t is not intended for that purpose.

It will do it, but the compressor will just run a lot more to replenish the air if you have of lot cleaning to do with it.

My opinion is it would depend on how mobile you would like the compressor to be. If the unit will sit in a permanent location then yes. The other thing to consider is if you really need that much air. the 30 gal offers enough throughput to run a wide range of tools with no problem and can be ported to different location.

The compressor runs good but paint does splatter a little I bought a quick release with pressure adjuster for $2 , but could also be paint clogging , gonna try thinning paint or filtering it with like some kinda pantyhose material

I don't believe that this compressor can drive air tools of that type. The only air tools that I've used with this unit is smaller paint spraying guns, inflating tires and multiple sizes of air nail guns. That's a good question and I would suggest going to the Bositich web site and sending that question to the Customer Service / Tech Help via the Contacts link. This is a really good compressor, it's fast, designed very well and it's not as loud as prior units that I use to own.

I bought mine to use for air-brushing my model cars and I love it. It is super-quiet and fills the tank in seconds! It is by far the best compressor I've ever had for my hobby-work! (I've had at least 5 others).

Yes. The compressor takes the standard hose adapters for pneumatic tools, spray guns, tire inflators etc. Most nailers do not consume that much air anyway.

The air hose has a standard quick release. You could connect any air operated device. The compressor does not have much of a storage tank so I don't think you would get a prolonged high pressure blast from it but it might work if you just need to blow something out quickly. You would be better off with a compressor with a large tank if you need lots of high pressure air for cleaning or running air tools. This compressor is really for inflating tires and does that extremely well.

not for an air brush the one piston is a small pulse..you should consider a small compressor with small tank

I am not sure how much psi as my compressor is too small for it. If you have the air you could use any surface grit or polish

A smaller compressor would work, but if you need tons power at least a 19cfm compressor. I would recommend the aircat gun, am not too happy with the CP7748.

I use an upright type shop compressor and I think anything smaller and the compressor would have to run nearly constantly to try and keep up. I've used mine to blast with glass, walnut , & sand . all with no problems. I also use a large tarp as a back drop to later collect the abrasive for reuse

I actually blew mine up by mouth, which was not fun and I don't necessarily recommend. However, that being said, I don't think you would need a heavy duty air compressor. Any air compressor would work.
