Compressor Question

I got a compressor for Xmas, its a Campbell Hausfeld 2hp 6 gallon, 3.7 SCFM @ 40psi and 2.2 @ 90 psi.

I think this is really low. All the tools I want to run like air ratchet, and impact gun need around 4.5-5 cfm @ 90psi.

Question is, will I be able to run these tools, but just for shorter periods of time? Or will they not work very well at all?

they'll probably run Matt, but you'll find the compressor'll fire up a lot..
larger tank = more reserve..

Yeah, for $50 more they have the 5hp, 13 gallon version on sale, gonna pick it up, more than double the SCFM rate, and should run all the tools I need.

1sicol: if you need to use it for any reason, anytime just let me know, same goes to anyone else if they need to use it
