Hi gang,
I need a sanity check on a compressor I'm considering. I'm looking at a California Air 2010. LINK I plan to use it for airing up tires (about 75 ft of hose), running a small nailer and a stapler. Very occasionally, I might run an impact wrench. It has a 1 hp motor, 2 gal tank and provides 2.2 cfm @ 90 psi. Max pressure is 120psi. But it's quiet and the price is right ($235).
Am I going to be disappointed in this smaller compressor for the things I do? I don't want it to take 10 mins to air up a tire, or wait a minute between shooting nails.
Some more info. My previous compressor was a do-most-things machine. I bought bigger than I needed so I had more than enough.When I bought it I expected to use it for a wider variety of things than I actually did. It was made by Husky but loud as heck. It "claimed" to provide 5.1 cfm @ 90 psi, have a 22 gal tank and provide up to 150 psi. It was about 20 yrs old and in good condition. I just couldnt stand the noise and recently gave it away to a cousin who needed one.
I'd appreciate your thoughts and advice.
Thanks,
Fred
