Err no. That's balls.

Simply size the compressor to the tool that makes the greatest demand
for air. Stating that the tools all need different specs of compressors
is utter crap.

Gentlemen please!

Most workshop compressors do not have wheels so a mini portable may have
uses in places hard to access. I'm not sure if the diesel, road drill
type, compressor is oil free which might be an issue for spraying, etc.

I haven't read the full thread but nobody has mentioned insurance and
annual pressure vessel testing. D-I-Yers may escape but any commercial
operation is vulnerable to the man with the clip board.
