I have this rig (though I got the upright tank which is 30g). It's fine for
light
work, but not for continuous airtool power. It drives a cutoff tool fairly
well,
and they use a bit of air, but it needs to catch its breath every 15 seconds or
so.
It's not as noisy as some oilless compressors I've heard.
I've had it a couple of years with no problems.
