Air Compressors: CFM, Tank Size, PSI
 
So, I've been looking into various air compressors. What I'm looking for is something that can fit in the back of an access cab truck but still have some power to it. I would like to be able to casually fill up tires after a day of off roading, or to power an air ratchet for casual work nothing professional, or actually even one idea is to power a train horn with it which run about 70 to 90 psi I believe. Anyway, who else knows about air compressors? I don't want to spend a ton of money, 100 to 150 is ideal. After looking over all of the options on Amazon this seems to be the one I have settled on for now, what do you guys know about it?

Safe to say I won't actually buy the compressor for a few months, just shopping around.

:D

I like the CFM on that one, and that the PSI max will allow it to at least give me a few hits with any sort of casual impact use.

O I forgot to mention, I wanted a small form factor so it didn't take up the whole back of the access cab. I checked that one out, my main fear would be that it would fall over. Do they function properly lying on their side with the oil etc?

I know the one you linked is oil free, but still curious.

the reviews on amazon are the best place to mine for data about your purchase i think, always read the bad reviews!
