Air Compressor Power Tools
Choosing the right air compressor and tools may seem simple but it can be confusing. We have put together some good information to ensure you can match up the appropriate compressor with the right tool set for your job. Two important things need to be considered in making this decision. First, you need to assess how much you will use the air compressor. The other factor to think about is how many different tools will be required.
Air compressor power tools can range from an air impact wrench, air rachet wrench, air drill, or air hammer to name a few. Other tools typically chosen with an air compressor are air staplers, air sanders, and even an air paint sprayer. Air compressor tools in this line are rugged and designed for industrial usage.
Most air tools require a single stage compressor. Other tools may require higher pressure such as an automotive lift. Those situations will demand a two stage compressor. Air compressor power tools require pressure (PSI) to operate, but more critical is the amount of air volume (CFM). Almost all air compressor power tools are designed to use between 90 and 100 PSI. Volume of air does not affect the receiver size or vice versa. Increasing the receiver size does not increase your CFM.
Please see below for various air tool choices as well as useful information to help select the right tools for your air compressor.

How to Select the Right Size Air Compressor
Make a list of air compressor power tools and equipment you want to run. Note the CFM and PSI they need to operate. Add both totals and select the air compressor that exceeds the CFM total by 10% and delivers at least 20 PSI more than the tool requires.
EXAMPLE: 1/2 ” Impact wrench (4.2 CFM) + 3/8” Ratchet Wrench (4 CFM) = 8.2 CFM + 10% = 9 CFM Total
EXAMPLE: 1/2 ” Impact wrench (90 PSI) + 3/8” Ratchet Wrench (90PSI) + 20 PSI = 130 PSI Total Needed.
