What size air compressor is required to operate these guns? Would a 21 gallon 125psi suffice? Do I need more gallons? More psi? for whole cars...

That should be fine, I use a 29 gallon 2hp compressor and an additional 21 gallon tank. but have also used my 6 gal portable for these guns.

It's more about how much air the compressor will put out per minute. You will have to stop fairly frequently to let your setup catch up if you are painting something that is large. I have/had a set of these guns. You can't use them straight out of the box. Totally take them apart and clean all the junk out of them and take the plastic gasket, that divides the nozzle from the paint chamber, and some 800 grit sandpaper and on a flat surface, lap the gasket flat (can't remember if it's the front or back side but you'll be able to tell which one should be smooth). Mine leaked air, very badly, into the paint chamber. Every time I squeezed the trigger, you could see bubbles percolating through the paint. Lapping that hard plastic gasket stopped that. Don't expect to be able to spray a candy with these guns. The pattern(s) on mine is/are too inconsistent. I ended up buying a different gun to shoot my base/clear. Matt

You will need 5 cfm and 125 psi for it to work correctly depends how fast you nail and at what elevation you live at I live at 9000 ft so I need more psi and more cfm . Super tough gun if you have over 125 that is ok just adjust the nose .

This is a great air compressor for carrying around and will run 2 trim nail guns @ a time or a flooring nailer, but you won't be able to run any kind of larger air tools than that (ratchets, grinders, impact guns, etc.).Probably not enough air volume for even a small paint sprayer to run for more than just a very short time.

My gun gets occasional use, and I've owned it for several years. So far, no problems. It does require decent air pressure (100 psi or more) and a large air hose to fire properly. I notice that I'm having to hammer in quite a few nails when the compressor pressure is low enough (80 psi) that it's about to kick on.

2 gallon compressors are not meant to run air tools. You might be able to take a lug nut or two off. Then wait for it to build up pressure but you might as well use hand tools if your going to do that

My husband used an air compressor. We've been using them all summer on our boat and they work great. I would definitely recommend them. Also, the cheapest I've seen.

No. As previously stated, even the very best garage type of compressor only gets up to maybe 500PSI. So options are: special hand pump $120-300, scuba tank with adapter (used $150, new $250), paint ball tanks with adapters ($200-up), special carbon fiber 4500psi tanks for PC rifles ($300-way up), Used SCBA carbon fiber fireman tank with adapters ($200+) which is what I did (actually finished around $120, but I got lucky and built the stainless adapter myself). BUT, once you have an air source, you have almost unlimited, dirt cheap, super accurate shooting fun!

The gun itself doesn't have a PSI...it's the compressor you're using that should tell you that. The diameter of the needle is what you should be concerned with as to how much of the product will flow out. The Belloccio compressor that is listed on Amazon does not have a very high PSI...maybe 30, but definitely not more than that. The gun is great for any compressor. I have the Temptu, the Dinair and the Bellocio and it works great with all of them. I hope that helps.

You need a very strong gas powered and electric powered compressor with a decent size tank 40Gal or more to run these polishers for any duration of time. I have 2 of these I use at a shop on commercial size compressor and I know they will eat up the most CFMs vs other shop tools

MY answer was assuming you wanted to actually fill your tires with air! Otherwise why would you be looking to buy a compressor to just ck the tire pressure? .. if thats the case , just by a simple tie pressure gauge!

I have this air gun, it is ok....one of my compressors only puts out 135psi at 60cfm, this gun doesn't have the power the Aircat has, so recently have purchased the AirCat. The Aircat has higher torque and is a better gun....esp when we hook it up to a compressor that puts out 175psi. Hands down, choose the Aircat.

Either will work but it will all depend on duration of use. Used compressors can be found on ebay for fairly cheap. Also a small tool compressor will work as well if you can regulate the level of psi. Air cans over time will add up in cost and could easily surpass the cost of a compressor. Air cans are great for work where no power is available and for light spraying. I use my Paasche for spraying firearm finishes and a compressor was the way to go for that. I use both a Paasche I bought used from ebay as well as a large shop tool compressor that has a air cleaner and psi regulator.

I bought a 110 psi compressor with a 2 liter tank. Works like a dream. Make sure to have tight hose connections because they can and will seperate due to the high pressure.

The manual recommends 90-120 psi. I run ln the mlddle of that range with a 7 1/2 horse-80 gal. compressor which is way more than necessary. A 3 to 5 horse would do fine. The spec sheet l is available at Hobart's website as a free download.

you will need a air compressor [110] and car battery. they do sound great. used it at our haunted forest with a bright light - folks didn't know where to run! have fun!

most any compresser with 100 psi will run this gun but its a finish nailer . I would recommend a framing nailer for your job.

Yes, but the gun needs between 1000 and 2000 psi, so a run of the mill air compressor won't suffice. We use a scuba tank, which the scuba shop charges to 3000 psi. Crosman's site has some videos that tell a lot about the gun.
