Air compressor, minimum specs??

[Edwin Pawlowski]

Domestic. Not enough air, they become barbecue.

If it's just for running air nailers, than just about any compressor with a tanke will do the trick. But a 2HP, 6 gallon would be fine. PSI you need is 70-120 PSI for most nail guns, big and small.

The specifications don't mean anything because the manufacturers lie; usually overstating the specs by at least 100%.

However, running a nail gun does not require a very large compressor. Just don't get one without a tank.

Agreed. If it was so thin as to actually rust through at one location the rest of the tank is not far behind.
