Personal preference, if you plan on using your air tools with any sort of regularity, go for something with a little more capacity than 2 gallons unless you want to listed to that thing kick on every 5 minutes

Hubbie has a mega compressor located in the outdoor shed cause it make a lotta noise, but he's a happy camper. Hey, what's the difference between NASACAR mechanics and the rest of us? They set points with an air wrench, ha ha!

Size matters, but for the basics like pumping tires, blowing off debris, and running light tools, this sucker definitely worth throwing in the car trailer just in case.
