GR,
I agree! but the nailers only take "surges" of air. It's the tools like sanders, file boards and grinders that can drain even a 6 HP 80 gallon 2-stage compressor to the brink of never shutting off.
For example, I kind of voluntarily took over my sons brand new Sears, single stage 6 HP compressor because it couldn't handle even a small HVLP spray gun on a semi-continous basis. Nothing like being in the middle of a paint repair job and having to stop and wait for the compressor to re charge!
Single Stage compressors work people, but if you are using tools that use a substantial CFM just make sure you pick the right compressor. Lowes and Home Depot both have a nice 2-stage stand up compressor, 110V that works great for the home owner.
DV...all statements I make must be considered "mine", unless of course I deny them!
