A 185 CFM Kaeser towable compressor at $155 a day for pneumatic tools and sandblasting, plus small electric and gas units from $55 for nailing, inflation and shop work.
CFM Is the Only Number That Matters
Air tools are rated in CFM — cubic feet per minute of air they consume — and compressors are rated in CFM they can deliver. Get this pairing wrong and the tool works for ten seconds, then stops while the compressor catches up. That is the single most common frustration with rented air equipment, and it is entirely avoidable.
The 185 CFM Kaeser towable at $155 a day is a job-site machine. It supplies a 90-pound pneumatic jackhammer continuously, runs sandblasting equipment, drives multiple tools at once, and is what a contractor means when they say "the compressor." It tows behind a truck and runs on diesel, so it is completely independent of site power. Take it for concrete demolition, sandblasting, or any pneumatic work that runs for hours.
The 5.5 HP gas portable at $60 a day covers the middle: framing and roofing nailers, impact wrenches, tire inflation, blowing out irrigation lines — anywhere you need air but have no electricity.
The 1 to 1.5 HP electric at $55 a day is the shop and garage unit. Quiet enough to use indoors, plugs into a normal outlet, and handles finish nailers, staplers, inflation and light blow-off work.
Hoses rent separately: 1/4″ x 50′ at $7.50 a day and 3/4″ x 50′ at $12. On the big compressor, hose diameter matters as much as compressor size — a long thin hose strangles airflow before it reaches the tool.
What Each Compressor Will Actually Run
185 CFM towable — $155 / day
- 60 or 90 lb pneumatic jackhammer
- Sandblasting equipment
- Multiple air tools simultaneously
- Continuous, all-day pneumatic work
Gas 5.5 HP — $60 / day
- Framing and roofing nailers
- Impact wrenches and ratchets
- Tire and equipment inflation
- Blowing out sprinkler lines
Electric 1–1.5 HP — $55 / day
- Finish nailers and staplers
- Airbrush and light spray work
- Inflation and blow-off
- Indoor use where exhaust is a problem
The air hammer and hose package at $50 a day bundles a pneumatic chipping hammer with the hose to run it — a straightforward pairing for breaking tile, mortar and light concrete when you already have compressor capacity.
Practical Notes
- Never run a gas compressor indoors or in a garage. Carbon monoxide is odorless and it kills people every year. If the work is inside, take the electric unit.
- Size up, not down. An oversized compressor simply cycles less. An undersized one leaves you standing around waiting for pressure all day, and no amount of patience fixes it.
- Drain the tank. Moisture collects inside and rusts the tank from within. Drain at the end of each day, and before you return it.
- Towing the 185 CFM unit needs a rated hitch and lights. Confirm your vehicle when you reserve, or arrange delivery.
- Hose diameter is not a detail. Running a 90 lb hammer through a 1/4-inch hose wastes most of the compressor you are paying for. Take the 3/4-inch hose for high-demand tools.
- Hearing protection. The towable unit runs loud and runs all day.

Renting an Air Compressor in Arlington — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to rent an air compressor in Arlington, TX?
The 185 CFM Kaeser towable is $155 per day ($90 for four hours, $620 per week). A 5.5 HP gas portable is $60 per day and a 1 to 1.5 HP electric unit is $55 per day. Hoses rent separately from $7.50. Call (817) 277-1141 to confirm.
What size compressor do I need for a jackhammer?
A 60 or 90 pound pneumatic jackhammer needs the 185 CFM towable Kaeser at $155 per day. The smaller gas and electric units cannot supply anywhere near enough air, and pairing them with a big hammer produces a tool that works for a few seconds at a time.
Can I run an air compressor inside a garage?
Only the electric unit. Gas and diesel compressors produce carbon monoxide, which is odorless and lethal in enclosed spaces — never run one indoors or in an attached garage, even with the door open. For indoor work, take the 1 to 1.5 HP electric compressor.
Do I need a special hose for a big air tool?
Yes, and it is often overlooked. A 3/4-inch hose at $12 per day delivers the airflow a high-demand tool needs; a 1/4-inch hose strangles it before it reaches the tool. Matching the hose to the tool matters as much as matching the compressor.
What vehicle do I need to tow the 185 CFM compressor?
A vehicle with a properly rated hitch and a working lighting connection. Confirm your setup with the counter when you reserve, or ask about delivery to your city — for a job-site compressor that is often the simpler arrangement.
Should I get a bigger compressor than I think I need?
Generally yes. An oversized compressor just cycles less often and costs a little more. An undersized one leaves your crew standing around waiting for pressure to build all day, which costs far more than the difference in rental rate.
