So other than sandblasting and painting, will the 5.5hp 25 gallon compressor
be able to do most automotive require work, like impact guns, drills,
sawing, grinding, etc? I would assume I would buy a 1/2" impact gun and
accessories, so I wanted to make sure the smaller one will be able to handle
a wide variety of work. I know the larger 6.5hp 60 gallon tanker would
handle it, just wiring it up it out of the question. If I had my own garage,
I would wire it up in a heartbeat, just my pops isnt so crazy about the
idea.
