Air compressor suggestions...?

Just so you know, you won't be able to operate air sanders with a $300 compressor. Sanders, and grinders are air hogs and will empty a 20 gallon tank in less than a 90 seconds.
I have this one and it's good for impacts, ratchets, painting, and general air applications:

i beg to differ....i got a kobalt 60 gallon from lowes for 299 around xmas time. a little under that actually because i got my 10% discount too. only thing it might have trouble with is a heavy DA sander.

I can handle you begging to differ. I'm just giving the guy the straight scoop on my experience with my compressor. Is your pump a single or dual stage? If it's a single, I doubt it could handle continuous grinding or sanding.

 
mine handles the DA's pretty well. i can use my 3'' for about 2 mins continually and then it refills as i go, never dropping below 100psi. it does well with the 6'', runs about a min and then refills but i have to stop about every 5 mins to let it refill a bit. i dont use those too often so it makes the little work i have to do that much easier.
