Will only be used for light work. The price looks too good to believe.

That sucked. Home Depot's site/power tools/porter cable.
Porter Cable
Three Nailer/compressor Combo Kit

Model CFNBNS

Price: $299.00/bx


I have two PC nailers and am happy with them. Before you buy think
about what else you might want to use the compressor for. That little
one is not going to run an impact gun, sander or an HVLP sprayer but a
bigger one can't be moved easily.


I keep being tempted by this package, but haven't given in yet.
Is that compressor powerful enough to run one framing nailer?
(Completely new to buying air tools.)


Most definately. When I need portability, I can fill up a 5-gallon
tank ($20 at WalMart) and bring that to the work site. That's enough
to drive a couple dozen nails. Nailers need very little capacity. I
would not buy a small-tank compressor, though your needs may be
different.
