Dave's advice is right on the money. Breaking bolts loose is all about the impact gun, not the compressor. Try and get a good used Snap-on, Mac, or I-R impact gun if you can. They are worth the money. Lots of good deals on ebay. Remember to oil it each time you pull it out and it will last you forever.

As far as I'm concerned, JCB986 is full of it. You don't need anywhere near that much compressor unless you are running a shop full of mechanics. Total overkill.

I have the Dewalt D55168 compressor with the following specs: 1.6hp, 4.8 scfm@90psi, 15 gal tank, holds 200 psi. This unit has been more than adequate for every task I have given it and is all the home mechanic needs. Bought it used for $200.
