Need a suggestion on some Bodywork Tools

Some advice about air tools. Unless you have a good sized compressor, don't bother. A 2 wheeled Craftsman 1/2 HP $199 special will melt down trying to feed a DA or flatboard. I had a 1.5 HP with a 30 gal. tank that was on the short side of marginal. You wait 5 minutes waiting for the compressor to get maybe 2 minutes of work done.

Yeah i was worried about that since i have a 20gal 1.8hp Husky Compressor. It's rated at 4.3 scfm @ 90 psi. i figured it may not work for the D/A but i found one that runs on 4.0 scfm @ 90 psi at Harbor Freight. I used it today to remove the paint around the trim holes i leaded, works great so far. I figure if i ever do any painting i can just rent a bigger one. Thanks for the help!
