Recommendation on Tools

Chico370Z · 02-22-2010, 03:58 PM

I would like to get some pneumatic tools eventually. What do you guys have/suggest? I'm looking for information like what size air compressor you have, types of tools, and where you got them. Anything that would be good for automotive work. Ive got a craftsman 300pc set now, and it has served me well so far.

Anyways, let's hear what you got

oh I guess information related to CFM would be good too

Dude! It sticks to the wall!

I have Mack, colbolt, and stanley/bostch tools. And this for a compressor: Campbell Hausfeld 60-Gallon Woodworking and Auto Restoration Air Compressor. I also have a smaller portable one to run my brad nailer.

Craftsman kit for hand tools has always been sufficeint, and I've been told you can sometimes get lucky with air tools at local pawn shops but I haven't had the time to run around yet. Not sure what size compressor but it's around 55gal.
