Air tools, my first ever set! Impact driver, sabre saw and finger style belt sander. A bit underwhelmed so far, the saw and sander kept slowing down to a stop when meeting much resistance and I sometimes had to push the belt with my finger to start it after pulling the trigger. The psi was set right at the compressor but I must have something wrong with my setup somehow. Got a cutoff tool coming tomorrow too.
Andy's has your compressor got enough puff as looking online most of the shiny stuff especially larger sanders seems to need anywhere up to 10 cubic feet per minute and up to 90 psi at the same time.
Not much personal experience here but always remember years ago my Dads compressor galloping along barely keeping up when he was spraying mettalic paints... solid colours were slightly less demanding.

Sorry just seen this. It says 13.5cfm on it and fills itself up to 120psi. I set the output to 90psi which is what all the tools I've got want. So disappointing, I thought this setup would be unstoppable, but I can easily stall out any tool by putting even a tiny amount of pressure on them. I've tried everything I can think of, even shortened the air line to 5m but it hasn't made any difference
I'm going to have to get some more 18v tools if I can't make this setup work, was hoping to save money on tools once I had this compressor.
Edit: and these are not big tools, just handheld Clarke Pro

I found that when my tools haven’t been used for a while and haven’t had any tool oil through them they can be a bit weak.
Oh that's interesting. These are brand new, but I did put a bit of oil in the end of each one before plugging them in. So do you think they'll get better if I run a bit more oil through?
Maybe there is hope then, I'll give it a try.
Saw that today in John Lewis. Was very tempted to buy it but I was with STMBO and got the look so I didn't get it.
Managed to pick up the info card for online delivery. Do you think she will notice if I order 1 ?
Do it.
