I saw one of these in the store today:
http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Powerm...597462&sr=1-15
It was at Menards and after the discounts and stuff it comes to about $50. But the real attraction, AFAIC, is the weight. 20lbs!
It is obviously small and only rated up to 100psi. They don't mention the CFM. I'm wondering whether this thing could be used to drive some pneumatic tools like a small pinner/crown stapler. And would it be able to drive a finish nailer (like 15-gauge, maybe 2-1/2" long nails)?
I've looked at the ratings on the pneumatic tools at Amazon and I typically see a range of 70-100psi.
My use is very, very occasional. I think maybe I'd use it once or twice a year. I really like the low-weight aspect of it (I have a pancake which is just too heavy to tote around).
