Regardless of the storage size -- if the tool is using more CFM than the compressor can produce... the tool will strip the air from the buffer and the compressor will run non-stop trying to keep up.
They types of tools, and work, we do - pretty much means you need a compressor that will produce 90 PSI at about 17 CFM....
