Air compressor for winterizing

I'm thinking about doing my own winterizing this year. I'm also planning to resurface my deck at home. Each job raises the possibility of purchasing an air compressor. But I know very little about air compressors. Can one air compressor be powerful enough to drive nails but also be dialed back to blow out water lines in my TT?

    Yes.. I can run from 1 psi to 150 psi with the 15 year old Craftsman compressor I have.

    You can't just let it run continually while using it however... It was only a $150.00 compressor! (15 gallon tank)

    I will let mine run for about 5 minutes continually and then let it rest for at least 5 minutes (it takes about 5 minutes for it to fill from zero psi) if I'm using enough air using a tool or blowing out my lawn sprinkler system, or the trailer lines.

    Good luck!
