check the tools themselves, they normally provide the air consumption figures. Also take into account how long they will be operated for, a larger tank will let you run the tool for longer without waiting for the compressor to fill it every five minutes.

not to bothered about waiting for the tank to fill as its not going to get used loads just to losen bolts on the car

ok the gun i want specs at

4cfm
90psi
270lb ft

or

5.6cfm
90psi
450lb ft

ohh and these are the actuall spec of the compressor

230v Single Phase Compressor
50 Litre capacity receiver
MWP 116psi 8 Bar
14cfm

The compressor will be fine mate, it will run 3 x the 1st tool without a prob.

cool, will probs get the second gun for removing drive shaft nuts

Check your fittings can deliver the flow rate. I ended up having to fit a 1/2" fitting and bigger pipe to drive my impact guns.
