I ran that Craftsman 33gal for a few years, selling now b/c I scored the Kobalt 80 gal. Ran fine, but it will run like crazy with a die grinder or sandblaster. Really could not use the full potential of the die grinder, but my IR die grinder uses A LOT of air. If you're running impacts, ratchets, etc you'll have no problems at all with that model.

I think mine takes 8-11 or so, but like you said, die grinder is a not a "main tool", so I never really minded waiting for the compressor to catch up. I usually just took a couple of swigs while waiting......

i know that the 1.2 CFM one that i got won't work.
i'm contemplating getting the 15 gallon dewalt and another tank, but then i run into the space issue again.
the craftsman one is 299, the husky is 399.. everything above the $180 for the small one i'm returning is out of my pocket which is why i'm thinking so hard about this lol
It looks like either one will be good. but then it comes down to oiled vs oil-less.. and i'm leaning more towards oiled.
7" Blue point air sander : 4.8 CFM
3" Snap on cut off : 2.9 CFM
Snap on Super Duty air hammer : 1.8 CFM
3/8" BP ratchet : 3.92 CFM
1/4" Collet BP Die grinder : 3.5 CFM
how is scfm so much more than cfm? what does the S stand for? the air ratchet is 3.92 cfm, 28 scfm
