when using an air nail gun is the size of the compressor tank the important thing or the amount of PSI it produces

the tank is not the issue, a small can produce the same as a big tank, The psi is the consistent amount of air the flows through the tank. If ur stapler is 125 psi any tank that say it is up to 125 psi, U r fine the bigger the tank means the more constant psi is flowing all the time. U just need a small tank for just the purpose that u are using it for.the smallest tank can hold 125 easy.

The psi will allow the nail to be driven into the wood and the size of the tank will determine how often it will run.

The Range from 90 to 120 is pretty normal for most air tools. I would dial it down to 115 PSI at the highest end. More pressure is unnecessary, and may prematurely ware out the tool. I personally set my compressor to 90 PSI and only step it up in 10 pound increments if I need more power. If the tool you are using starts having problems that force you to crank up the pressure, then chances are there is more wrong then low pressure on the tool, especially if you increase the pressure beyond the recommended range. Never do that.

It really doesn't have that kind of throughput for air tools. I think you'll just overheat it or plain run out of air because the compressor can't keep up. You can run a large nail gun because it's intermittent use. I blow out the garage but, I don't keep my finger on the trigger full-time.

it is powered through an air compressor which needs to plugged into an electrical outlet. So you will need an air compressor with hose to attach to the nail gun . . . I read a few reviews and found this information.

Home air compressors are regulated to about 90-100psi (the pressure air tools run on). This tank takes 3000psi, so a home compressor will not even come close.

I did the research in your case and the answer is that it can't and here is why.1) The compressor you have has a very small air storage capacity. It's perfect for nailguns but paint guns require a lot of air storage ready to flow.2) Here are your compressor specs. 2.6 SCFM which is basically the air per minute (cubic feet per minute). The air gun requires 4.3 SCFM at 40 psi (pounds per square inch). You're is 90 psi so it can handle that but the air flow. In other words, you have the pressure but not the air capacity.

I think i set mine between 40-60psi. You really need an air compressor with volume...not a small pancake style meant for a nailer but a full size version.

Hi - Really, any compressor will do from a pancake to a double tank beast. The gun uses very little flow per cycle and operating pressure [more important] averages out to be about 110 psi for best results. If you cycle the gun very quickly a lower flow rate will tell but I doubt it will be important for your work. This is the best pin nailer I have used to date and has a multitude of uses for fine work and repairing such things as fractured clapboards and split furniture also ... molding goes up and the holes are just about nonexistent. Have fun with it - DB

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.

It is just very small, maybe 4 or 5 inches. Reminds me of a regulator used at the spray gun, not on the compressor. I would pass if I were you, however Amazon is great, they will take it back for any reason. good luck

My small (6 gallon)compressor has plenty of power. I set the pressure to between 80 and 100lb. I operate everything from this tool to brad nailers to my big framing hammer...I shoot a lot of nails and brads...framing, laying sub-flooring, laying hardwood floor and trim work/base board etc..

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.

It is not an impact but it has plenty of torque *if* you have the recommended 90 psi OPERATING pressure at the gun (not at the tank and not the static pressure). I wrote about this elsewhere but I rented a free air pressure gauge from AutoZone, bought $4 worth of air fittings from Home Depot and made a T-fitting at the gun to set the 90 psi OPERATING pressure via the compressor regulator. If you don't have 90 psi operating pressure at the gun you will be disappointed in its performance. Once you have it set be careful and hang on tight - it can be a knuckle buster. :)

In my opinion, this compressor which will generate 125 PSI, should allow the brad gun to work quite well, the gun itself does not use a large amount of compressed air like an air grinder, I shoot a number of brads before my compressor kicks in to replenish the pressure, my compressor has two tanks, so this compressor may kick in more often, since it has less reserve capacity.

This is a finished nailer I did use with air compressor small size 1-stage, 2 cylinder @ 90 psi.you can start with this or more power (higher psi)

The compressor runs when the psi in the tank falls below your selected level. It will always have air at the pressure you want by kicking itself on while you are using it.

I use a 1.5 hp 12 gallon capacity compressor and the nailer works great when the the compressor is regulated to 60 psi.
