Default Help finding compressor

I am looking into purchasing a compressor, which would handle nail gun, spray guy, some wrenches. It's gotta be in $200 range.

Anyone seen good deals?
Thanks

A place I work for just got one of these. I think it should handle everything you have on your list.

yeah im also unsure of what to buy....

i dont want too big to take up too much space or just cost more than i need.... and i dont want something that is too small to complete jobs when i start them (ive heard of compressors "running out of air")

definitely looking at something from craftsman, what do you guys use? tools id be running are impact gun, ratchet, maybe a rotary tool, air powered jack ( :yumyum: )

price is of medium concern, dont wanna go too cheap, dont wanna have to sell my truck to get it...

Well, if you're spraying, it should be a bare minimum of 30 gal. Out of all of those air tools, the spray gun is going to use up the most air because you run it constantly over a long period of time. All of the other ones just use up a lot of air for a few seconds, then they are put back on the shelf for a few minutes.

I suggest that you choose a spray gun first, then worry about choosing a compressor.
