    Hey Everyone,

    Shoveling out the path to the garage this weekend, I'll have my van towed in next Friday... very excited! I am looking at an air compressor and wanted to see if you guys think that this is big enough.

    Kobalt Compressor

    I can purchase one next week and I am hoping this one will have enough umph! I am also looking at the Kobalt 80, but if the 60 will do the job and do it well then that's what I am going to go with.

    Vans rule!

    Links not working right.

    Yeah the link isn't working.... It depends what your gonna do with the compressor...Are you gonna run an orbital da sander? If so you probably need a two stage compressor..

    Body tool use lots-n-lots of air, if you can,IMO, go with at least 5hp 80 gal. You plan on owning it for a long time make sure it fill all your needs down the road too. Also make sure it's made of cast iron.

    Look at the air tools you have and the ones that you would like to make sure the compressor has enough CFM to keep up with them. The two biggest air hogs I have, are my 6" DA sander, and my 3" die grinder. I had a 33 gal craftsman that pucked after about a year before I got my Curtis. Here is a link to the 80 gal that I got last year.
