  4. Would this compressor be able to handle tools like an impact,air chisel or paint gun? Looking for a quiet compressor to restore a car at home. Thanks

    1. This California Air Tools Ultra Quiet, Oil-Free Air Compressor can be used with nail guns, engraving tools, spray guns, air drills, air wrenches, CNC machines and other air-driven tools.

      To determine if your air tool is compatible you would need to determine the amount of CFM (cubic feet per minute) and PSI (pounds per square inch) required by that air tool to operate. This compressor delivers 7 CFM at 40 PSI and 5.3 CFM at 90 PSI. If your air tool requires that or below it would be compatible.

    2. Thank you for the interest in the California Air Tools 10020 Ultra Quiet & Oil-Free 2.0 Hp Air Compressor. We always recommend that you look at the CFM your air tools require before purchasing an air compressor. Some air tools can require a lot of air.
      For general information, yes the CAT10020 can work with the average impact wrenche, air chisel and LVLP Gun, Mini Gun or Airbrush.
