Default Re: Scene Shop Air Compressors?

As far as the questions about use. I don't imagine that there will be many times that more than one person is using a pneumatic tool at the same time. At the same time I want something that can handle an impact wrench and a sprayer which I can't do on my small home one for more than 30 seconds at a time. So I probably want something in the 30+ Gallon with 2+ HP.

If I get a portable I can just roll it out into the theater if I need it instead of trying to run lines all over. On the other hand if I have the shop plumbed and a line that ran over near the roll up door into the theater, it would be easy enough to just run a line into the theater. I guess that means the question of wheels or not depends on if I install a plumbed system or not.

Van do you have any problems with the Craftsman other than it's a little under powered for your needs?
