I use a 150 litre 3 hp one from machine mart m8, costs £350 but if you get it on a vat free day like i did you save £50

 

Mine runs everything, it holds and produces enough air for all the tools and i run impact gun, chissel, saw, grinder, sand blast gun, tyre inflator, drill and spray guns off it.

 

I also run an air sander off it, this it will only just keep up with, ie the compressor never actually fills up when using it, and keeps running constantly, which does get annoying so any less tank size i don't think you will have enough in it. But saying that i think the air sander is the tool that uses the most air out of any of the air tools, so as long as you get something that will run an air sander you are laughung as it will have no problems running any other tool then
