Actually I find it a waste of good 5 HP compressor and electricity to run it, to use a little air tool for more than a few minutes of use here and there is okay, but not for hours on end, bad enough to have to media blast with it. Its way better to use a much lower powered and cheaper electric tool, cheaper than a $1200 to $2500 compressor (replacement value). The compressor just doesn't need all the wear and tear and electric consumption.
