Potbelly compressors hold about 125psi. Takes minimum 90 psi to operate gun. Do a good job, keep shingles straight and compressor should keep up.

125 psi line pressure compressor ,most of the compressors that are portable will run this gun but they may have to air up frequently when this gun is used full time versus part time,this is a full time gun.

To use that hose or any other mainstream airbrush hose on that compressor, you will need to purchase this fitting: Master Airbrush Brand 1/4" Male X 1/8" Female Fitting/adaptor for the TC Air Compressor, which is also available thru Amazon.

1/4" or 3/8" hose will work. You just need standard fittings to hook it to the compressor.

I use an upright type shop compressor and I think anything smaller and the compressor would have to run nearly constantly to try and keep up. I've used mine to blast with glass, walnut , & sand . all with no problems. I also use a large tarp as a back drop to later collect the abrasive for reuse

I use a hitachi EC510 model. 6 gallon capable of working! !!! 2 guns. I use this fir my coil roofers as well. Best lil compressor you can buy. Just look at the customer ratings. Of course one can save money buy getting a throw away from harbor freight. Trust those red portercable lookalikes from H.F. are pretty darn reliable. The name escapes me but just walk into the nearest HF and you'll see it it's like 60$ + tax. So if your only doing smaller jobs thus will get you going fine

If you have or can borrow a decent size air compressor, I would use a Long Reach Air Scraper like this oneIronton 42in. Long Reach Air Scraper [Misc.]I got mine from Harbor Freight, your local store may have them in stock.I have used it for removing glued down vinyl, which was really sticky, and tile, which just came right off.It may not work too well on a small compressor, this thing requires a lot of air.

Almost any compressor has the pressure to run any air tool where the "requirements" factor comes into play is volume measured in cfm. This riveter like a nailer is sn impulse tool as opposed to say a grinder which is constant rotation. Impulse tools require very little cfm only a small tank.You can probably get away with 3 or even 2 cfm and a gallon or two tank around 90-100 psi. A bit more than your average finishing nailer.

Air Compressor is to small, need bigger..These eat air pressure..Go Electric..

The head of a roofing nail is TOO LARGE to fit into this gun. You need to get a roofing gun to handle the nails. When more than 1 size nail is suggested for a nail gun the length of the nail is the only difference; the head size cannot change.

Let me start by saying it is what it is, its a 1 gallon compressor. I have a Dewalt 15 gauge, 25 ft 3/8" hose, I can typically shoot about 6-8 nails before it kicks on. If your brad nailer is 18 or 20 gauge I think you'll be fine with 10 - 20. I don't use compressors often enough to even guess at 50 feet, but 25 works well enough for me. Good luck!

That's not to small, I mostly use a small pancake compressor with my flooring nailer and framing nailer, it keeps up just fine, it puts out under 3cfm at 90psi, I usually set the compressor at 100 psi for the flooring and framing nailer, and 90psi for my finish nailers.

Umm, seriously? Hello? Air powered tools require compressed air. Duh If you have another source of compressed air other than an air compressor, go for it.

I have this 18-Gauge pneumatic nail gun and I've used a 3 gallon air compressor without any issue. I believe as long as you can achieve 80psi you should be fine, I have my compressor set to 80psi and I'm able to bury 2 inch nails with no problem.

Ive used a framing nailer with this compressor while framing a deck, and it works well, but I would want something larger for a major construction job. It will not maintain pressure when being used at a high continuous rate.

I would go with a larger 18 gauge nailer. I owned this gun for a little less than a year before it gave up and died. I wouldn't buy it again.

I guess you are asking about a air compressor. The nail gun uses very little air, but you need to keep the pressure at 90 psi. Many of the new compressors run at 125 or higher. This is good because the regulator will keep it at 90psi. That will keep nails at a consistant depth. Oilless are less maintenance, but are louder and wont last as long.

Keep your air pressure up around 100-120psi and it will do awesome!! Best roofing gun you can have. We have been using hitachi for 13 years. Be sure to install an oiler on it or oil before each use with 5-10 drops of pneumatic gun oil
