A shop I know that went    defunct and has a Bull hammer has
to use a huge air reservoir in order to run    with out an
issue even with the compressor they have which is a    large
American kellog that has a 7HP Bador motor.
   By the way I would jump all over this but it is too large
of a setup for my    shop. If any one is in need of any of
these items I know the owners and I am    sure they will
acept any reasonable offer. It would be pickup only in WA
state    by Seattle. Rereading that I guess that came off as
a shameless plug.    Sorry.
