Take a look at Sears/Lowes/Home Depot at the kind of air tools you expect to run.  They should have an air-usage rating, like 4.0 SCFM @ 90psi   or something like that.  Compressors have similar ratings that will tell how much air they can supply at a given pressure.  Buy a compressor rated for the heaviest-usage tool and you should be alright.

Hi guys, I am thinking about getting an air compressor and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what I need to look for and about how much it would cost.  I want one powerful enough to run air wrenches, maybe a portable sandblaster and to pump up tires (bicycles & cars).  Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Don
