The big decider will be how much the air compressor unit has to work to keep the 20 gallon tank charged.

Most of the air compressor units have a 50 percent duty-cycle.

Which means the motor should not be running much more than 15 minutes out of each 30 minutes of operation.

A marginally powered unit to tool match will allow the tool to run intermittently, with a recharge length of time required to run the tool again.

Most Customers find out what combinations of air compressor and pneumatic tools work well together, during the 90 day store return period.
