Re: Anyone know anything about Air Compressors (No Audi Contnet)

Mike,
    Most air tools will spec a minimum air flow for operation. That
particular compressor sounds a little weak, probably a single stage, but ok
for the $.
If your only going to use an impact wrench or do some light die grinding
this should suffice.
