When you say pumping up struts, if you mean the nose strut on a Cessna
the compressor won't do it. You need a special tool as there is a hell
of a lot more pressure in that strut than 150 psi.

Hi,

I am thinking about getting a small air compressor for my hangar, any
suggestions what to look for (dry vs wet pump, gal. capacity, CFM
rating, etc.). I expect light, occasional use - tire & strut
inflation, some drilling, fiberglass grinding, small-scale painting
(fairing repair, etc.) and limited use of maybe 2X rivet gun. I am
specifically wondering if any of the smaller "Husky" compressors sold
by Home Crappo would do the job, don't want to spend big $$$ or get
something big I can't easily take home once in a while.

Thanks !

Martin
