FIne, but you can get smaller compressors. I just listed a do all type that 
could be used for cleaning crap like PC's all the way up to running tools in 
their warehouse.

You can get smaller ones for $50  


So quit LOL at others posts before you step back and look at the big picture 
for the OP. They said it was in a warehouse, i assumed it would be handy for 
other uses too.



BTW, that $10 can of air is a ripoff.
