My science teacher actually has that pancake red compressor, I'd say it doesn't fill up as fast as I'd like, we were only using it on burst at around 80PSI shooting up paper rockets.. It was powerful, for a couple seconds until we had to refill the tank and then the PVC assembly that the rocket mounted on..

I personally, used to have a very, VERY old compressor, that was about 100PSI, with no tank.. at all, and would get hot every time we used it.

Finally, we decided to get a better one, a 2HP - 8 Gallon compressor, with a max of 115 PSI.

This sucker is strong.....

Blew dirt off my EMaxx I never even knew was there.

Would recommend this, sure it's $130, but I've seen the coupons put it down to around $80.00

Pick up harbor freight's daily booklet's or weekly, they will have a coupon for that compressor to take it down about 40-50 bucks..

Good luck....

BTW, you will need compressor oil for the one I linked to..... It's about $3 a bottle, and but you will only need one and a half to fill the reservoir all the way up, but you will need to start refilling it in about 4-6 months.
