Anyway, looking at the various options I'm not really sure what I really need for garage use. Toolswise, I am pretty pro-Makita and was looking at their compressors but I am not really sure what specs I should be looking at for air tools in the garage. The biggest specs appear to be the motor HP, max PSI, and cfm. But I am not really sure for garage tools, such as impact wrenches and whatnot, what is appropriate and making sure I have enough.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me on what specs I should be looking for/at?
A suggestion on the Finish Nail gun. I have an angled Dewalt 18v battery ( ONLY) powered Finish Nail gun. It works extremely well for trimming, you do not have to worry about dragging hoses through a house during a finish job. Has enough power to nail up Oak trim.
