[QUOTE="cyberslider, post: 1650865, member: 13628"] I have a C-H I bought at Lowes about 10 years ago or so. It's a 5 hp oil-less with a 20 gal tank. It's portable and runs on 120v. I run my 1/2 impact wrench with no issues. I run a small sand blaster with it that taxes it pretty well. I use a blow gun to blow off the grass off my lawn equipment. The sand blaster and the blow gun are the operations that tax the compressor the most - it runs constantly until I let off the trigger. The blaster I actually lose some pressure as well. I need a bigger, 220v model for some of the stuff I do. If you're going to try to run a d/a sander or continuous use tool (like the blow gun or sand blaster) a lot, you'll need something bigger than a 20 or 30 gallon. For airing up tires and using an impact wrench, a smaller, portable 120v model will work. BTW, the 1/2 impact wrench I use is a Kobalt Model from Lowes - I think I paid 40 bucks for it? It works great for me. [/QUOTE]
