For you guys with all the tools, need some input!!

One more vote for the bigger 60 or 80 gallon size. I have a smaller 30 gallon 110volt and to be honest it is a toy compared to my big Devilbiss. In fact I only use it for putting air in my tires now.

IMHO 60 gal. min. if you plan on running any type of blast cabinet. most cabinets require 9cfm continuos min. and the smaller compressors just can't meet the demand.
They will wear out very quickly and you will be buying another compressor. the home depot husky and lowes kobalt compressors are exactly the same all built bye the same manufacturer just diff. paint!

x2 I gotta totally agree I wish the one that I have access to was bigger then it is its a craftsman 33 gal. one. It works great but once we start pushing it hard it likes to cycle a lot! Its good and has done a good job but if I want to get into bodywork defiantly would get like a 60 gal. one minimum for sure!
