It will be OK for light duty I expect probably equal to any of the other cheap compressors available, probably not much good for spraying though it would run out of air very quickly
Not a bad price though they usually are £100 ish

Hi

You could always put another air tank on it, let it fill them all to the designated pressure, may take a while, and then you would have more time to spray.

We had a hydra-vane compressor and then about 5 or 6 huge tanks scattered around the site when I was working on the boilers. We had about 15 air hammers and busters going of it, they all have either 3/4" or 1" feed so use loads of air. Slightly of topic, but me and a colleague used 12 bottles of oxygen, when we had 2 sets of apache and 2 sets of acetylene going to get a ring out. I have never used so much oxygen in 4.5 hours!

Cheers
