Because some air tools use a huge volume of air ,such as a sand blaster
,I`ve found that a 5 hp comp. and a couple of old 60 gal water tanks work
adequately. Each tank has a shutoff valve so I can control the volume ,
such as one extra tank for sanding and two for blasting.It takes a while to
build up pressure but at least you can get a good section of work done out
of it. Also they each have a high pressure relief valve and a drain valve .
Have fun.
