This is pretty close in performance to the air compressor I have at home. A
1/2" impact wrench has relatively low CFM requirements - no problems there.
The compressor doesn't keep up very well with the die grinder, and I know it
won't be useful at all with any kind of sander. It's good with an air
ratchet, and some painting. The cutoff wheel is borderline. Unless I need
it for tight spaces, I resort to my 4 1/2" electric angle grinder with a
nice sized cutoff disk.
