At any rate...I've heard of hooking up a relatively inexpensive aux. air tank for a bit of extra "oomph." Anyone tried this?
My dad did that 40 years ago using an old water heater tank . He had an industrial horizontal tank compressor and when doing something heavy duty he plugged it into the converted water heater tank . It worked great .
