    The wee twin tank ones are good for that type of work.

    These are mint, dry sump so no worries about seizing if you accidentally tip it over on the back of the Ute or whatever, quiet too https://images.nzsafetyblackwoods.co....99271616.jpeg

    2hp is fine for most jobs. Just blowing dust around uses the most air out of all the tasks you listed

    I got a 2.5hp one that looks exactly the same. Handled the framing nail gun with ease but overkill for most diy uses except the air duster. I'd personally prefer the slightly small/lighter 2hp

    I got an oil-less one as a bit quieter and cheaper than belt driven. Run the pot riveter well.
