Compressor/Air tools worth it? 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be blade on  Sun Nov 23 16:13 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I have been emboldened by this wonderful forum to perform many repairs on my 850 turbo. Believe me, I could not afford to keep this car if I didn't dodge labor charges.

I have the usual assortment of hand tools (sockets, torque wrench, wrenches, torx bits, etc.) but I am wondering if a compressor and air wrench are worth it for the DIY.

And if so, what specificaions do you recommend? E.g. PSI, horsepower, ... whatever compressors are rated with.

I suppose if I get the specs right, Santa might help me out!
