Great question! For DIY, a compressor with around 2-6 gallons is sweet for lighter stuff like brad nailers or inflating tires, while bigger jobs—think spray painting or impact wrenches—might need 10+ gallons for steady power. Depends on what tools you're running most! Thanks for kickstarting this convo—solid topic! 👍
