will a 2 gallon compressor work?

I tried my 3 gallon compressor with it and it had enough torque to brake off lugnuts on my wheels. It would need to recharge frequently though. Recommend a larger compressor. I use a 33 gallon compressor.

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

Yes it will. I bought mine for the portability of it and I use a3 gallon compressor on mine you just have to let the compressor catch up with it cause the impact will use more air than the compressor will keep up with

Yes. You should have a 6 gallon or larger compressor. Mine is 3 gallons and I had to wait for the compressor mto recharge.

I have one of those cheap 89$ tiny compressors. I think it only has a 2 gallon tank and must be a fraction of a HP. It works fine with this tool.

No. Buy the 6 gallon compressor. Its has a lot more power and isnt so cheaply built

Yes will work because I am useing it with ARB compressor with 150 psi of pressure

Needs an air compressor, I'd recommend one with a 10-gallon capacity for any serious work.

It will work with any compressor, but make sure you use a moisture trap or you

I would think not. It is not a high enough pressure compressor, imho, and you would need to constantly recharge it. Would take forever. Maybe one with a larger tank would do the trick.

Depends on how fast one works it. I've been using it on the regular 5 gallon apprx. 4 scfm at 90 psi compressor just fine. You may consider upgrading your air supply if you have more than one guy shooting.

Not totally sure, but would think if your compressor puts out something around 3 cfm at 90 psi, then it would probably work. Mine has a 6 gal tank, so with a smaller tank, the compressor might cycle on mere often.

It will work, yes. I'd still try to source the correct OE size for that compressor though.

I would think a 3 gallon compressor would work well. I use mine to blow off the mower deck and air filters on various types.

It will probably work but what I would look at is the type of compressor you have

JD, I am not an expert on this matter. However, my experience with the tool is that I have used it on as small a unit as 3 gallon tank. Further, I would think the issue is better defined as efficiency, e.g., does your compressor have at least a 100lb capacity, and whether or not the 2 gallon tank will cause occasional delay while it builds pressure again. Sorry I can not be more definitive.

I used a 4 gallons air compressor that I rented at home depot last year to blow out the 9 zones sprinkle system. The sprinkle has 1 inch diameter(instead of 3/4 '') and are quite long in a yard more than 11,000 sqf. So I guess this 3.5 gallon tank will work too. You have to stop more often and wait for the pressure raising up.

Lisa, a two or 3 gallon pancake compressor will suit this gun fine. I'm currently using a 27 gallon,(my only compressor I own) and it's complete overkill. This gun doesn't use much air at all. Good like with your purchase David

A small compressor 2 or3 gal. like a pancake or emglo compressor. All you need is 60-65 PSI.
