Wolf used to be a good brand of power tools to buy. Of recent times that has not been the case. Just remember the old maxim:-

I've got a similar one - the 50 litre version

Served me well so far, you might find 25 litre a bit small but it will do the jobs you want most likely.

I have one like that but its ment to be 13cfm, I find it runs out of puff to quicky using a rattle gun! They are fine to pumping up tyres and I use mine for spraying bike parts.

Does it have to be new?

I picked up a nice single phase Hydrovane last week, much better than a piston compressor and much quieter.

Hi

Mine is a 50L tank and something around 7~8CFM. I would regard 50L as minimum and would prefer something bigger. Would certainly want more flow as well.

All the best

Is 116 psi max output enough to power an air tool?? Confused

Should be (although the tank probably drops to about 80psi before the pump cuts back in). Few compressors have a higher pressure than that. Make sure it can supply enough air, including the actual lines and connectors being up to the job.

All the best

But with that tiny little tank it's next to useless....
