Jeff -

You really need to shop for the tools you want to buy FIRST -- and see how much air they use (cfm) - and at what psi.... and then check the rating on the compressor you're interested in... you might be surprised to find out that the compressor is too small to supply the air for the tools you want.

If you buy a tool that needs 18 CFM @ 90 PSI -- and your compressor is rated at 12 CFM @ 75 PSI -- you're WAY BEHIND and will eventually just burn the poor thing up (the compressor that is).
