Will a 3-gallon compressor be suitable for this hopper-gun ?

It will work but the compressor will be running all the time plus sometimes you might run out of air

I would suggest a little bigger compressor. 3gal will function but it may run more than you would like

Yes. I used it with exactly that and it worked great. You just have to pause once in a while.

I would say at least a 20 gallon compressor or bigger. A pancake compressor is just not big enough to keep up. My 20 gallon I would have to stop now and then to allow it to catch up.

The Grex uses a very small amount of air. If you are considering a compressor ONLY for the Grex, the small pancakes or small twin tanks will work adequately!

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

I run mine on a 3.0 SCFM compressor (4 gallon tank) and have had NO problems - not a single jam. This is a home DIY nailer so it does not get heavy use...this is a good nailer for me, an excellent value.

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.

very,,, just take it to the garden hose and rinse it out and if the compressor is still hooked up , fill the hopper up with water and let it rip!!

I used a 5 gallon pancake compressor which only can handle 3 cfm and I had it set around 90 psi with no problems. Pretty much any air compressor will work.

My opinion is it would depend on how mobile you would like the compressor to be. If the unit will sit in a permanent location then yes. The other thing to consider is if you really need that much air. the 30 gal offers enough throughput to run a wide range of tools with no problem and can be ported to different location.

No there is not. I do a lot of handyman work and this was one of the worest made hoppers I have seen. The back of the hopper just had a screw end on it not a end that will hook onto most standard compressors. When I recieved this I opened it and thew it in the trash. It is so poorly made and the cost of shipping to send it back was about the same as what I paid for the product with this I felt sending it back I would just be out more money. Save your money and go to Lowes or Home Depot and spend the $60 or so dollars on buying one of thier's don't waste your time crapy tools= crapy job done.

I'm using this air compressor "Makita MAC2400 Big Bore 2.5 HP Air Compressor" for Nail gun. The Nail gun works perfectly.

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.

I should work fine. I have a small Porter-Cable 2 gallon "pancake" compressor and it powers the nailer without any problems.

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.

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.

at least 250 gallon compressor with 50 horsepower otherwise it might not be able to be removing all the grass

Hello Mazin, a 3 gallon compressor is pretty small. The three jet sprayer would be the correct choice because you can use it with one two or three jets to match yoru comprssor. My best guess is you will want more air. Here is a customer that has connected a couple small compressors together that may give you some ideas: http://www.mortarsprayer.com/winery-foundation-spraying/Please let me know if I can help with more question.Best regards,Nolan Scheid
