Hi Everyone - This is my first post as a member of this forum. I am in the market looking for a air compressor. I will be doing automotive work at home, so I need something that can run 1/2" impact gun (up to 1000 ft. lbs.), pneumatic ratchets, cut off tools, air chisel, etc.
Also important is noise level. I live in a town home and am sandwiched in between two units. I do have a garage, but would prefer something as quiet as possible. I have looked at California Air Tools and those compressors seem to be a little on the expensive end. I'm looking for ~30 gallon tank. Since the highest consumption tool I intend on running would be the 1/2 impact, I thought I would share the compressor, and air impact I had in mind. I'm not fully set on moving forward with these, hence this post. I would greatly appreciate feedback on THIS impact wrenchthis impact wrench , and THIS air compressorTHIS air compressor .

Finally, this is a little off topic, but I have to ask. I was watching a YouTube video, and this guy said that if you truly want to get all the power the air tool is intended for, you MUST use a air hose that is equivalent to the size. For example, 1/2" impact wrench requires a 1/2" ID hose. 1" impact wrench should use a 1" ID hose.... is this true?

Thanks in advance,
Alex

Thanks for your reply. I'm pretty much the only person using the unit, as it is for my garage. I looked at the air tools I'm interested in buying and almost all of them are 4 to 4.5 CFM consumption @90 PSI. The only air hog is the impact wrench I'm interested in. The compressor (link provided in original post), yields 5.9 cfm @ 90 psi. The impact wrench I want is also rated at 5.9 cfm at 90 psi. Will that be a problem? Will I get the FULL power out of this impact wrench with this air compressor?
