Campbell Hausfeld 8 Gallon 200 PSI Air Compressor

I need to get an air compressor to finish some house hold projects ( baseboards, finishing window trip) and other little things for the eventuality of being stationed at some point this year.
there is 8 gallon 200psi air compressor on sale at Canadian tire and was wondering what you all thought
here are some of the specs of this compressor:
Brand Name - Campbell Hausfeld
SCFM at 90 PSI - 3.7
Accessories - None
Peak HP - 1.3
SCFM at 40 PSI - 4.7
PSI - 200
Tank Dimensions - 8-gal
Lubrication - Oil-Free

I am also wondering if this would be enough to also use to work on the truck with other air tools ( impact gun, air ratchet) and not half to wait 5 minutes between lug nuts
what do you all think?

Went ahead and changed your title, broadened the topic a little bit.

This will be vital information to me in the future, I would like to have one someday. (Where am I going to put it in an apartment with no garage..)

thanks. I actually went out and bought the one that I linked. I am doing the break in procedure right now. I will comment on how it performs when I get to put it through it's paces

I have a 10gal one from Harbor Freight with slightly less specs then the one you lined. to be honest I love great quality tools but for how often I use it it works great. I do work it hard some times but not often enough to justify a top notch compressor.

that one will work just fine for what you are going to use it for, It will lag a bit if you get a cut off tool, or sanders. But an electric angle grinder any way. I have almost the same thing and it has done almost everything that I have asked of it, sandblasting has been the only thing that I have wished it was larger.

We got one of those (looks like the same compressor, but not quite) about 8 years ago, and it is still going strong. It will run an impact to pull lug nuts no problem.

Get something bigger than 8 gallons. I have a 7-gal Craftsman compressor, and I can not back off all six lugs on a single wheel with an impact wrench before the compressor is empty and has to refill. Forget spraying paint or using a high rpm tool like a sander or cutoff wheel with 8 gallons or less. You'll spend more time waiting for the tank to fill than working. Also, get something that has at least 150 PSI with a regulator on the output line that can be adjusted to match your tools.
