Hi folks.
I bought a small (6 gallon) compressor which came with a couple nail guns, etc. How important is it to match up what the compressor can put out versus what a potential tool says it needs? For example, I was looking to get an impact gun mainly for removing lug nuts. My compressor’s manual shows its SCFM as: @ 40 psi: 3.7 and @ 90 psi 2.6. I haven’t found an impact gun that comes close to those numbers. They all say they need a higher rating. It might seem obvious that the tool won’t work, but I had a couple friends say not to worry that much about those numbers and that I should be fine. I dunno. Anyone have a take on this?
