[Supras] Needs Advise on Air Compressor Purchase

[Rockey Fox]

I think mine is similar in performance but has a 15 gallon tank and works fine for no more than I do in my shop. The only time I run out of capacity is with the die grinder which requires a few seconds of rest to let it build up pressure again.
You may want to consider a larger tank and a higher CFM (usually associated with larger motor) if you're going to use it for grinding or continuous duty applications. 
IMHO for car repairs with impacts, and air wrenches etc it should do the trick nicely.

I'm looking at purchasing an air compressor for my home use in the garage 
etc.  Any advise on what to look for specifically?
Is this one I'm looking at from Harbor Freight a good buy?
