they will power it, just mabey not too long. i think they don't want you to use them a lot and burn up the compressor. it would prob be ok for a couple of bolts but what's the advantage of the air tool over hand tools at that point? i used a friend of mine's pancake air comp with a air impact putting in lag screws for his deck. it would do one most of the way then you would have to wait till it pumped back up and do another. they do use a lot more air than a air gun, but not as much as a air sander the one i had would run about 3 or 4 seconds on his pancake tank.
