I just need a small air compressor for blowing our filters and parts on lab instruments. Will this one do what I need?

do not use a air compressor on circuit boards or any pc parts you would ground yourself before touching as the air coming out of the compressor has a electro static charge and the devices used to de charge the air cost around $600 bucks just use canned air made for pc cleaning

It should. But if you plan on blowing for a while it will have to recharge itself after about 60seconds of continuous blowing I'd say.

I believe so yes. The unit's dial goes pretty low and with a slight correction for distance have used it to dust counters while pictures and trinkets sit where they are. It is powerful and so far has not knocked anything loose.

Yes, but you may need to buy different accessories to accomplish your specific tasks. I love this compressor, but the included accessories are notches below in quality, compared to the compressor itself.

If you need a lot of volume vs pressure it may not. The tank on this compressor is small. I use it to blow out the water lines in our RV. I set the air pressure at about 30PSI.

I have a small compressor with a small air reservoir and it works just fine.

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, I use this compressor to air my tires. You will need to purchase attachment available in any hardware or home supply store for $15-$20. Don't forget the quick connect (if the tire attachment doesn't come with it). A great compressor kit, use it all the time.

Some air compressors have auxilliary pieces/heads/attachments that work for this if you are looking for something faster.

Yes you will need a compressor. The unit uses a lot of air so you will need one that can keep up with it without having to wait long periods in between bursts.

You do need a compressor, but a small one will be fine. I have a 1-gallon compressor, which could drive this thing all day. (Not literally, but it has more than enough reserve for the rate at which I'd be stapling.)

Yes you need an air compressor with a minimum of 16 cfm to run this tool. I would however recommend even more cfm than that as this tool is a bit of an air hog.

this model wouldn't be powerful enough. do a search on the name and see the other compressor's that they offer. I can say that it is a quality product.

Yes no problem. Im a shop owner and have an 80 gallon compressor for work. This unit is great for home use.

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.

No, you will need an air compressor, with pressure regulator, filter and moisture trap.

A porter cable pancake style air compressor will work just fine also bostitch pancake,, those are about the smallest that I would use and anything bigger is just gravy

My only concern would be that with this compressor your psi may get to low while doing larger areas. This unit has no tank and psi drops fast and would cause the compressor to run a lot. Does come with adapters for larger 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.

I believe it will work fine. My son bought one and uses it on a smaller compressor with no problems.
