For mechanical work, you'd ideally want at least 10 gallons (and bigger is better) with at least 4CFM of airflow (with more better).

With that said, there are electric impacts now that take a lot of the duty away from the compressor. A pancake compressor of this size will easily power a framing nailer to build a garage or fence. With some patience you can even run a few high air demand tools. The downside is you will have to wait for it to recover, so you can only work a few seconds at a time at high airflow.

I have this compressor. It's a great start for a DIYer. I started with worse using some no name that came with a nail gun.

I recommend you get electric tools where it makes sense if you don't want a massive shop compressor.

Here's a chart that shows you the CFM needed to run various pneumatic tools at 25% duty cycle:

I've never had a compressor nor used one. What's a good gallon size for a DIY'er? I do light mechanic work on vehicle and and would like to use air gun and sorts.

No, for that you need a pressure washer, not an air compressor.

I was just joshin ya. You want a power washer.

But you should still get an air compressor, they are pretty cool too.

It has a "RIDGID 3-Year Limited Warranty". No Lifetime Service Agreement (which is the primary reason I buy Ridgid). I'm out!
As of last year, LSA applies to all air compressors. I picked up the 200psi 4.5 gal silent compressor on clearance at my local HD and was able to register it for LSA no problem.

You're looking for a pressure washer. A detailer might used compressed air to shoot dirt out of a crevice or do shoot water out of a crack, but that's about it.

I've had this model for ~5 years, believe it was $65 slickdeal.

Question is, is it supposed to leak air? It has never kept compression for more than a couple days.

Is it defective? Or normal? What can be done to fix it?

The ultra quiet models from Harbor freight are far superior to this. Roughly same price and specs but way quieter. If you're just using it for household purposes and not serious jobs, Ultra quiet is the way to go.

Purge after ever use and leave the valve open when empty. As for the leak, no it shouldn't leak and hard to say what can be done about it without knowing the location...is it leaking from a fitting?
