Portable Air compressor

Hey guys , I live in a small town with limited options for detail . I need an idea for a strong portable air compressor. Lowe’s and Home Depot have both let me down . I am looking into a nortstar . It is a little pricey but after my job the other day cheap will not cut it . A 1 hour job turned into a dreadful 3 hour mess.
Thanks for any / all feedback

What tools are you using with it?

Check out Grainger Supply, they have a good selection of small to mid size compressors, all name brands.

I just purchased a Makita MAC5200. Haven't used it in the garage yet, as I have it set up in the house while I install baseboard. But so far, I love this thing! IT has enough CFM to run Tornador tools, although the tank might be a bit too small to run them continuously. But for $349.00, I think it's a great value.

It's too small. Will run constantly with a Tornador and you'll end up burning it up.

I recently bought a Rolair VT25BIG air compressor to run my tornador black. It was a leap of faith. But it performs better than anticipated.

It cranks 6.5CFM @90PSI

Loads up fast and keeps up with the tornador.
