Air compressors compared
Match the compressor to the tool. CFM is the volume of air per minute at a given pressure; every air tool lists the CFM it needs.
| Model | Output | Power | Weight | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hand carry compressor, 4 gal | Small tank, light duty | Electric, plugs into a wall outlet | Light | Nailers, inflating, small trim jobs |
| 3-gal single stage electric | 4.2 CFM @ 90 psi | Electric, 1.5 HP, 120 V | 51 lb | Finish nailers, staplers, tire inflation |
| Kaeser 210 CFM towable | 210 CFM @ ~100 psi | Diesel | ~2,000 to 2,200 lb | Jackhammers, breakers, sandblasting, several tools at once |
Which air compressor do I need?
- Add up the CFM: check the CFM rating on each tool you will run at the same time and add them. Choose a compressor that supplies more than the total, since tools are rated at full demand.
- Small electric units: brad and finish nailers, staplers and inflating need only a few CFM. A 3 or 4 gallon unit is enough and plugs into a standard outlet.
- Towable diesel units: paving breakers, rock drills, sandblasters and impact tools use far more air. The 210 CFM Kaeser runs these without the compressor cycling constantly, and it does not need a power outlet.
- Hose length matters: long or narrow hoses lose pressure. Tell us the distance from the compressor to the tool and we will include the right hose.
- Where it will run: a diesel compressor needs open air and ventilation. Do not run it in a closed room or basement.

Air compressor rental FAQs
How many CFM do I need for a jackhammer?
Paving breakers commonly need roughly 80 to 100 CFM each, so a 210 CFM compressor can run one or two. Check the tool plate for the exact figure, and see our guide on how many CFM you need.
Can I run two tools off one compressor?
Yes, if the compressor supplies more CFM than the two tools use together at the same time. Add the two ratings and keep some margin.
Does the diesel compressor need power on site?
No. The 210 CFM Kaeser is diesel powered and towable, so it needs no outlet. It does need open air.
Is the compressor delivered with a hose?
Tell us the tool and the distance and we will include the hose and fittings you need.
Can I rent by the day?
Yes. We rent daily, weekly and monthly. Call 718-344-1474 to check availability.
