Stay away from Briggs and Stratton engines.

Find out what the post driver requirements are for air demand (10 cfm; 15 cfm or ?). Buy accordingly.

Get a two stage compressor.

IMO
 
We have two of those RIGID compressors...have a Honda motor I think... two tanks that lay horizontal... run around $800 at Home Depot. Pretty popular, have have a good rep. I used them at several places I was working for so I went and got two also. :D
 
Running an impact wrench takes a pretty hefty compressor, dollarwise too. The one we use for the post driver and everything put the impact wrench is a Coleman model. Ran aorund 400 bucks, but hat was a much chepaer time then now. It has the 2 parallel cylinders and is direct drive. The belt driven ones are a lot pricier and may be better
 
What's your budget? If you are looking to equip a portable shop, I would recomend just getting a nice 220 Air Compressor, and a nice Miller Bobcat Generator. But that will set you back a few grand, but you will have everything you need, generator, welder, air, etc. Where I live, if there is ever a power outage, we are the first to loose it and the last to get it back, the generator in my shop truck has come in handy on several occasions.
 
This is the compressor I'm currently looking at: http://mytscstore.com/webapp/wcs/stores ... gPage=true

This is not a brand I'm familiar with. It's also a heavy rascal. I don't think I could fight it into the back of a Mule or a pickup without ramps.

After looking at several and browsing the web it appears that 99% of them run a 5.5 hp Honda engine with an identical pump setup. The only thing that differs is the tank size and the brand name. I suspect that many are made by one manufacturer and are sold under various name brands.

That's the reason I went with the smaller unit. Even I can lift it into the mule. For jobs that I need a lot of air I just use the compressor in the shop and a couple o100 foot of airhose if I need it.
