Hey all, i'm new to the forums and i have a couple questions for you guys.
Let me just start by saying that i am only 15, so keep in mind i'm on a budget.
Now, down to business. Within the next few months i plan on purchasing an air compressor to power a 1/2 inch. impact wrench (Ingersoll Rand 231g) and 3/8 inch air ratchet (Ingersoll Rand 170g). I won't be using the tools daily and I won't need the impact for much more than pulling a couple tires here and there and the ratchet for using on misc. bolts, nuts, etc. My main question is will a 15 gallon air compressor be enough to power the tools for what i need them for. It's 1.5 running hp, 3360 RPM, oil-lubed, cast iron cylinder, 5 CFM @ 90 psi, and has a thermal overload.
Any and all input is appreciated.
