9 hp - Air Compressors - The Home Depot

Question 1

What does "CFM" mean?

Accepted Answer

CFM stands for Cubic Feet per Minute and refers to the volume of air the compressor can deliver at a specific pressure, like 90 PSI. A higher CFM rating means the compressor can power air tools that require a lot of air for longer periods, so it's best to know the CFM requirement for the tools you will be using.

Question 2

Which air compressors are the best selling?

Accepted Answer

The Wheelbarrow Premium Industrial 10-Gal. 9 HP GX270 Honda Engine Portable Electric Start Air Compressor is one of our best-selling air compressors.

Question 3

What specifications should I look for to handle bigger jobs like framing, roofing, and bolting?

Accepted Answer

Contractors completing framing nailing, roof nailing, or bolting often need a higher-power stationary air compressor. For the power to drive tools like framing nailers and impact wrenches, it is best to look at models with a larger tank (20 gallons or higher) and a higher air delivery rate (4 SCFM at 90 PSI or more). Models with higher air delivery rates and larger tank sizes will do the job!

Question 4

What size air compressor tank do I need for my projects?

Accepted Answer

Choosing the right tank size depends on the type of air tools you plan to use, how frequently you'll use them, and the duration of your tasks. We carry tank capacities including capacities such as 10 gal., and 9 gal..
