what's the spec? tbh the minimum you'll need to make it a worthwhile purchase is a belt-driven 3hp motor with a 100l tank. them hobby ones are useless really unless its for small spraying projects. they cant generate enough pressure to apply anywhere near the force we can and the air is always trying to catch-up. if you run them for a few hours they give up!! i spent $400on a cheap one - useless and never paid for itself. spent $900 on a decent one a couple of months ago - half paid for itself already. if you have the space and money go for the biggest tank possible but a 100l will run 1 high output tool continuios without a drop in performance.
