Air compressor?
Looking to purchase a air compressor and wondering what is the smallest size I can get away with while still being able to fill up the tires to 70psi and use air tools?

What size tank does that MV90 have? Oh yeah, none. Most of the air tools I have use more than 3.7 CFM, and more than 90 psi for a good air impact, which pretty much means that without an air reservoir the MV90 won't work. I'm sure it works great as an inflator: tires, beach balls, volley balls, etc. But you need an air compressor with a tank for air tools.
A two gallon Viair tank. I run a 1/2" m7 impact wrench with it. Granted it won't run long but it will provide full torque for the few seconds it takes to pop loose a lug nut. It's onboard air for my Samurai (which is in the toy hauler). While I haven't needed it too often for my equipment, it is pretty popular on the trail with some of my buddies.
