I have been toying with the idea of getting an 18 or 16 guage nailer for some time. Yesterday, while walking through the tool department at Sears, I saw an air compressor on clearance for $99. They had several nailers (craftsman and bostich) to choose from between $100 and $150. I started to buy the setup on the spot. However, when I starting reading the specs on the compressor, I realized that I hadn't done my homework on exactly what size, power, etc. I need. I think the use of the compressor would be limited to the nailer; although I
*may* want to buy a paint gun sometime down the road. Does this dramatically change what compressor I would need to buy? What would be sufficient just for the nailer? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks, Kirk
