Two Stage-Two Stage...TWO STAGE!
Sears are mostly single stage! They may have 80 gallon tanks, rate their motors as high as 6 HP, but if it aint a two - stage compressor run away!

Seriously, single stages are for flat basketballs, and that's about it. If you run any kind of air tool, a single stage compressor just wont keep up with it.

The numbers you want to see are CFM. Check the tool consumption then make sure the compressor supplys at least that!

Overly simplistic, just remember two stage and CFM and you will love it! Air grinders, air buffers, air saws, air rachets, air rivertors, air caulking guns, paint guns, air drills, air cut off tools, air powered brake and clutch bleeders,and, and, and, and....

DV...CFM-Two stage! Test tomorrow
