I have purchased a few air tools to get started on my kit: The Marson 79014 rivet puller; A Chicago Pneumatic Mini Air Drill (model 7300RQC); A Chicago Pneumatic 874 3" Air Cutoff Tool. 



I need help in selecting an air compressor that will adequately run these tools... I guess that the parameters are xxx CFM at yyy PSI. I am aware that a small compressor may work fine, but cycle frequently. Larger ones are costly and could trip a 15A breaker. What is a good compromise? What are you using? 



Thanks in advance! 

Mike

Mike,

     Most air operated tools have in the owners manual the minimum air 

pressure and volume required for them to operate properly, look for this 

first.  Then buy an air compressor that gets at least the pressure and 

volume required of the tool calling for the highest of both.

     Second and most important, buy an compressors that is oiled.  Oiless 

air compressors are cheaper but you get what you pay for and it's been my 

experience, oiless compressors are nothing but trouble. I am just about to 

buy a replacement for my compressor that is 32 years old and finally wore 

out and replacement parts are not available.

     As far as brand, consumers digest is a good source of information on 

which of the various brands are suitable for purchase.
