That is a very low delivery compressor. It is only suited for short useage tools or pumping up tires. At 5.1SCFM, it will not support orbital sanders, or other higher volume air tools. Nor will it support an HVLP spray gun. If what you're planning to use it with is nail guns and the likes, then it should work fine, but a lesser compressor (less cost as well) would do that same job.

While I may not like your choice of compressors, I really like your sense of humor...
