1/4" Air Compressor Outlet?

[Journaler]

Thinking of getting this compressor: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200481743_200481743

It has a 1/4" air outlet though. I've only ever seen 3/8" or 1/2" outlets before. What are my restrictions (pun intended) with the smaller outlet size?

I'll only use it with a framing+finish nailer, and air wrench nothing major.

A lot of smaller compressors have 1/4" outlets.

I have a compressor half that size that I use for air nailers - finish, framing and roofing. Quarter inch fittings throughout on 3/8 hose. You won't have any problems.

Now, trying to run a cutoff tool or spraygun- intermittent at best.

1/4" should be fine for a small compressor like that. It won't handle any heavy use tools anyway, so you don't need a larger output.

Thanks for the reassurance, guys. I just realized that they upped the price by $100.
Coincidentally, they introduced a new line of compressors "Northstar"
