Ya better look into the air consumption of yourr tools and look at the cfm of the unit. Just my :2cents: i dont think it will be big enough. I know the way i spray i would work it to death. The da sander would work it even harder let alone a air file for working bondo. But like i say this is just :2cents:

Ryan found a 26 gallon Craftsman that will do 150 psi and has pretty good cfm #'s. We might get it tomorrow night after he gets his birthday $$$. I know a da sander will pretty much max it out but the good news is that he will only be running one tool at a time and I hope it will keep up. It comes with an impact gun and air ratchet and a bunch of little accessories. I'm psyched because I have wanted one ever since I had my own shop and now I (Ryan) am getting it!!!

Thats the same one I have and I love it. I think its one of the best tools I have. I broke the impact and ratchet within a week of use, so ditch those after they stop working and get some good ones. I got an Ingersal Rand impact from Lowes and its a beast and will undo any lug you throw at it. It was like $179 though but I love it.
