Air compressor 1: 3.7 SCFM @ 90 PSI with a 25 gallon tank
Air compressor 2: 5.2 SCFM @ 90 PSI with a 5 gallon tank
Critique my thinking....
Compressor 1 will take a long time to fill the 25 gallon tank. But once it is filled, you'll have the required pressure to run an impact wrench. As you use the impact wrench, you'll drain the pressure in the tank and the motor will kick on. It will take a long time to refill the tank. The motor runs seldom but for long durations.
Compressor 2 will fill up its tank in no time. As you use the impact wrench, the motor will be kicking on a lot to keep up with the demand. The motor runs often but shorter durations.
Am I on track?
If I am sanding down a car, Compressor 1 would be better. If I'm just changing a tire, Compressor 2 would be the one. Yes?
