What kind of compressor would I need for these? Any specific size or specs?

Really any compressor would run them. I think the max PSI on the farming hammer is 110, but it runs great at 90 PSI. Any of the small pancake compressors will work. You might have to slow down and let the compressor catch up from time to time but they will work. I use this one without issue...PORTER-CABLE C2002-WK Oil-Free UMC Pancake Compressor with 13-Piece Accessory Kit

I se a small roll around about 10 to 15 gallon at times I need to slow down when using the large framing nailer (like building a wall where I have preset out all the boards and just have to nail them together

I use a 2.5 horsepower 10 gallon compressor and it has plenty of air to do the job with the framing nailer. Currently set it between 90 to 100lbs and it has great penatration. The 15 and 18 gauge nailers use less air and I adjust the air pressure to anywhere between 45 to 80 lbs depends on the material I am using and again it works great. With the 10 gallon compressor you have a light weight unit that you can move around if needed and you never run out of air even on big jobs. Of course if you have a larger compressor, it will be a mute point. Excellent nailers and work well with 10 gallon oil type compressors.

I am using these on a harley road king. I have them set up with a small compressor and also set up to use a hand pump if need to.

I had a small compressor that I bought at Lowes. not big enough. I have now upgraded to a two stage compressor that does the trick. I was just using too many things at once on the old compressor. I think if I had nothing else hooked up to it I would have been fine.

You do need a compressor, but a small one will be fine. I have a 1-gallon compressor, which could drive this thing all day. (Not literally, but it has more than enough reserve for the rate at which I'd be stapling.)

I have used this compressor with a finish nailer on a small home improvement project and it worked fine. I would not use for any big projects or with tools that require a lot of air.

Hi You will need an air compressor; this type has more power than electric.

Not sure if it will work with that particular compressor. You could probably check it out locally at most any bicycle shop.

90 PSI on the compressor will work well. Anything higher than your target inflation number will be fine.

compressor needs good amperage, might need at least a motorcycle battery, at walmart approx $45

The small pancake compressors are intended for this type of use. You may want to consider investing in a larger compressor if you want to add higher demand tools like paint sprayers or impact wrenches in the future.

Short answer is yes any compressor, don't know if 2hp is enough for continuous operation, worst case you have to wait while it pumps up, or add extra volume in the system. Works good otherwise.

the one I have is alot quieter than a regular compressor.one with 60 dB may be quieter ,but may not be as good for the work .

you need to get a bigger compressor. To run those type of air tools I would suggest at least 33 gal for constant pressure.

I'm using a portable 6 gallon 150 psi pancake compressor made by Stanley. It's fine for my basement/garage projects using any of my 3 nail guns.

Any 5 to 10gal shop/garage compressor should be fine. I used the 5gal I have in my garage and had no issues. I wouldn't use anything smaller than that tho.

any cheap 1 galon compressor will do, but if you want later to upgrade I WILL said get at lease a 2 gallon unit

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.
