No, I don't think that will work. The larger your resovoir the longer you can run the air tool & if your compressor is too small, it will take too long for the compressor to catch up. If you have a small res, then you need a compressor that will keep up with the air tool, or you can run the tool til the power gets low, then you will have to wait for the air compressor to fill the tank again. Your better off getting a York compressor with a larger res. or 2 of the 2.5 gal.

look into electric impacts for the trail, I borrowed one to remove some lug nuts (tight) when I was broke on the Con last roundup and I was really impressed! I think it was an 18volt Mac whatever it was it kicked ass .

I have a Snap-On 1/2" dril 14.4 volt impact gun. They make an 18V now & those are about $500. My 14.4V last long enough to rotate my tires. The 18V last longer & has more torque.

that's 24 lug nuts removed & 24 tightend 

Electric tools are ok, but they're heavy and they overheat...air tools cool themselves.

The Snap-On 18V cordless impact gun only weights just under 3lbs with the battery. The tightening torque is 284lbs. That is plenty of power for the trail.

Mine hasn't overheated on me
