[AT] OT Craftsman Compressor

[Larry D. Goss]

IMHO, too many of the compressors currently on the market are undersized
for the tanks on them.  When I'm using my needle scaler (an air hog if
there ever was one) it takes nearly 8 CFM @ 90 psi.  I use it constantly
for an hour or more at a time to remove paint from tractor parts.
There's no way that a compressor rated down around 4 to 6 CFM is going
to do the job regardless of how big a tank you put on it.

I was told that it was 2 HP normal with a 6 HP surge when needed when I 
bought mine. Anyway it keeps up with small things but my Impact wrench
will run it 
down and you have to wiat a while for the pressure to come back up. I
wouldn't 
use it in anything but a small shop for hobby type use. I see why the
big 
tank though as you need it for backup.
