What is the intended use?

Now - Blowing water from unreachable areas of the vehicle. Also to blow out air vents.

Later- possible use with impact for rotating my tires or a air some other air too.

I'm trying to keep my start up cost low. I still have to order my equipment from ADS ($260) for DA, Pads, and a few products

That is a low CFM compressor and the air volume is fairly low so if you plan on using it to blow water out of cracks you could but you may have to use it sparingly (someone with a similar compressor might chime in on this as well, mine is quite large). Also an impact is going to use tons of air, that compressor will run it for short bursts and then need to build air pressure again, definitely not the best for a high volume tool like and impact gun. It is really designed for nail guns, spray guns, air powered caulking guns and other low air consumption tools.
