Compressors are like understanding "Cams".....


Compressors do two things -- make pressure -- produce volume. The storage is just a buffer area.


The KEY to compressors is having one that will make enough Cubic Feet per Minute at the pressure you need to run the chosen tool.


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....
