      dosmastr,

      In my opinion, painting, is about all you will be able to do with that or utilize a finish nail gun for trim in your house. The 800 ft/lb 1/2″ drive impact, which I own, has a high SCFM rating. The compressor you have shown doesn’t have the volume capacity to run any heavy duty automotive air tools.

      The compressor I have is an 80 gallon belt driven air compressor. A word of advice, don’t buy a large direct drive air compressor. I made that mistake many years ago; then gave it away! They are extremely noisy. A belt driven compressor is the way to go – relatively quite. The large direct drive compressor will drive you nuts – TOO LOUD…

      Just my two cents.
