It's amazing what you can learn online when you're not busy at work!
It looks like impact wrenches need about 5.5 scfm @40psi, nailers and other tools I'd be interested in using seem to require less. The small compressors I've looked at - the pancake style and DeWalt portable don't come close to 5.5 scfm @40psi. Of all places, WalMart has a Campbell Hausfeld 5hp max. 13gallon model rated at 6.4scfm@40psi for just $200. For larger consumer level models it looks like Sears is the place to go.
My main immediate reason for getting one of these was removal of sprockets - I completed that task last nightwith just one bruised thumb and two bloody knuckles, so I'll probably wait a few weeks before taking the plunge and buying the compressor. Next task is painting my barn! yippee :(

thanks
Ian
