    Really handy for blowing out compound dust or polishing dust from the surface as you work, but I still rely on my leaf blower

    What's your review on the Tornador gun is it really helpful? as far as compress air I use it for: engine, interior blow out, trim, tires for low air, wheels and lug nuts, to clean pads, and myself the best use .
    It cut my Interior detail time in half. I love it.

    I have my air compressor located in the basement. I drilled a small hole in the garage wall to bring the hose into the garage. The only disadvantage is I have to run to the basement to turn it on.

    That is one tool if it quit working I would have to replace asap. Anywhere from blowing out the interior and the water from outside to numerous buffers for aluminum and paint. I do use my makita, pc and flex for most of the paint. But I love my Chicago pneumatic (this not a Harbor freight tool) 3" buffer for small areas and to use on interior paint.

    Does a leaf blower count? Mine is attached from my shop vac and I have some small hoses and attachments that meet my needs, but I wish id had it!

    Not sure I will check the specs for you, I have a 5HP 60 gal but I am sure you don't need anything that big.
