Anything that will get you 125 psi will work. Just don't buy an oil less. They are noisey as hell. Something like a Craftsman 3-5 hp with a 30 gal tank.

Amen on the oil less. I had no idea.

Pistol Pete, buy an electric impact gun, then go to sears and buy a portable electric air compressor and then use it with your generator. Both light weight and take up minimum space. That's what all the great races do, lol Keep it simple Bro.

I like my Snap-On electric impact. Lighter than an air impact also.

The new battery operated impact wrenchs are very neat.

Guys you can put the oil less on some type of mat, rubber or piece of carpet, makes it a little quieter....

I doubt that would help much. I have a 5HP Craftsmen oil less compressor in my garage, it does work fine, but if I knew how loud it was, I never would have bought it. It`s almost as loud as running a car with open headers, but much more annoying!
