Just got a Husky 60gal 7hp compressor and I am going to open my shop soon Wanted to know if the tools that come in packs (4 in 1 or 5 in 1) are any good or if anyone could recommend name brands i want to look for. I am wanting to start off with:

die grinder

nailer/stapler

sander

sprayer (glue)

Thanks,

I've had good luck with the large husky die grinder.Seems to have plenty of torque.

You said your opening up a shop, I'm guessing that means your going to be using these tools a lot. In that case, get good ones. The angle die grinder will be ok from anyone. Don't buy a cheap sander, or sprayer.

I like to stick with Ingersoll Rand. Maybe some CP's depending on what the tool is. Stick with good names IR, snap on, matco, mac for anything impact or air ratchet, or just save your money and buy a hand breaker bar over a cheap impact gun.

7hp 60 gallon.. whats the CFM?

The last thing you want to do is have your tools break on you.

Go to the trouble to get a moisture trap, oiler for the mechanical tools and a good regulator.
