What oil is recommended for this compressor?
Richard P.

Answer
You need a non-detergent straight weight. For 0-40 degrees I recommend a 10WT. For 40 degrees and above I recommend a 30WT.

Will this compressor run a 3/8" impact gun?

Answer
An air tool requires air flow to work.
Think of a windmill. A slight breeze lacks the power to turn the blades. However, a hurricane-force wind can generate substantial power.
Some air tools consume more air than others. Nailers and staplers require a puff of air. Sandblasters and sanders need massive gusts.
So, you basically want to know how fast the air comes out of the compressor. The air flow is measured in Cubic Feet Per Minute (CFM). The greater the flow -- the greater the power.
You simply select an air compressor that exceeds the CFM of your most powerful air tool. If the flow isn’t strong enough, the air tool simply won’t perform properly.
We recommend sizing the compressor 1.25-1.5 times the CFM of your tool for continuous operation. If the compressor does not produce enough air volume, CFM, then the pressure will drop.
Reciprocating (Piston) compressors are not designed for continuous or 100% duty cycle. The compressor will cycle off & on if it is sized correctly.
Some air tool manufacturers state a minimum CFM & a much larger working CFM specification. Use the working and/or continuous CFM rating when sizing the air compressor.

Answer
All of the equipment we sell is designed for 120V/240V 60 Hz AC power. They are not compatible with the 220V 50 Hz current used in Europe & Africa.
