Gas air compressor

[uscarry45]

I am looking for a recommendation on a gas powered air compressor for service truck. Need to blow off machinery and run 3/4 impact wrnech
I see prices from 1500 to 6000k. I think 2 stage would be better? Any good brands?

The 3/4" drive impact will be the deciding factor in compressor selection.

not much help on the compressor , but a Honda engine would be on my list

I would definitely do 2 stage. Hard to crank up the pressure if ya get one ya cant break if it's already maxed out.

Do you need a welder, generator, or hydraulic pump too, or just an air compressor?

most of the gas-powered compressors i see are IR.
one of our trucks has a miller airpack on it. he rarely uses the compressor as that truck has onboard air.
last 3 service trucks (F550, F750 & F600) we bought have onboard air run off the PTO. huge step up from the chickensh*t compressors we have previously.
