You don't have enough compressor for an air powered one.  I've got a
40 gal unit with a direct drive compressor.. basically not a cheapie
but still cheap.  I spend more time waiting for air than I do using
the tools.  I would be looking at the electric with that small of a
compressor.

Also realize there is a big difference in specs for low and high end
tools.  High end tools have a decent chance of meeting the specs they
claim and do it on a consistent basis.  With the cheapies one test
model might have come close to those specs once in the test lab when
they launched it at the bolt using a linebacker and a potato gun.
