My neighbor bought a 2-gallon air compressor at Harbor Fright - the
Central Pneumatic model shown here.

It seems that the input can't keep up with output.

They manual rates it at 3 SCFM air output at 90 PSI. The blowgun can use
much more. At 100 PSI, a 1/16" tubing can use 6.5 CFM, a 1/8" hole uses 26
CFM and 1/4" can use 104 CFM of air . It is designed for short blasts, not
a continuous stream of air. It may be a handy little compressor, but don't
think about big use tools like sanders or die grinders. They need at least
double to triple that volume.
