I purchased this set about eight months ago. I have been steadily using it for all kinds of tasks.
Although this is "billed" as a "garage kit" it will function for many, many other tasks as well.
(With respect to the two star reviewer): The total volume of air is not relevant to the effective pneumatic pressure required to run the attachments. It is the ultimate psi delivered to the tool which determines if it will work. I can usually get the tank pressure up to at least 110 psi. Most of the attachments work in the 40 to 70 psi range. There is plenty of pressure, and, residual tank air supply, to run the attachments. A larger tank would mean a little less stress on the electric motor (as it would have to start less often), but, would not increase the psi available for the tool operation.
For instance, the sprayer (which only requires about 50 psi) will spray 1/2 solution of tung oil on wood (for preserving out of doors wood) with no problem. It will spray almost an entire quart without engaging the pump to re-charge the tank; the ratchet is really handy for all kinds of adjustments on all kinds of machines and projects (trailers, log splitters, assembling wood structures with bolts and nuts, etc.) and only requires 50 - 65 psi. If you are good enough (not for beginners) you can vary the psi, using the valve on the tank, and use the ratchet as a torque wrench (takes some practice).
Install the universal quick release chuck on the end of your hose as soon as you get the unit. Then, attach quick release connectors to each of the tools using the thread tape. Then, all you have to do is pull back the quick release chuck on the hose to release one tool, and, slip the next tool into the chuck. It takes less than a second to change out most of the attachments if you use the quick release chuck.
I bought the reel and extra hose. I have a chuck on the end of that as well so I can swap it out with the main unit whenever I need an extension. It is easier to transport the reel and hose to a job site than it is to wind up a spare 50' hose I keep in the garage for fixed garage applications.
On my Range Rover, I spend upwards of $1400 for a set of tires, and, keeping them properly inflated saves me hundreds of dollars of wear and tear on the tires between alignments and oil changes. The tire inflator attachment, with a precision gauge, is really well made and allows you to come within a fraction of a pound of the correct tire inflation pressure. My Rover is a snow beast, but, in moderate snow conditions here in the mountains (4-6 feet of snow) I sometimes have to deflate the tires to get the best traction with chains. This set up makes it a snap to reinflate once I get my Rover back in the garage.
DO buy a very heavy extension cord if you are going to use an extension more than 12 - 15 feet. I have a 10 gauge extension cord for a 100' extension from outlets to where I use it around the place. If you use a flimsy extension cord, over about 15 feet, you won't have the amps necessary to fully power the motor for compression - you will burn out the motor very quickly this way. You can tell if your extension cord isn't hefty enough because you will hear the motor hum and strain before it starts up (sometimes, if the cord is long and light enough, it won't start at all, but, just burn out very quickly humming and straining to activate the pneumatic piston).
This is one of the best values I've found on Amazon. It is not only sufficiently powerful for home or garage, it is sufficiently versatile for all powered applications.

The official Campbell Hausfeld Site has a typo in the item description. If you go there and click on the "specification" tab you will see the correct output for this unit. They use the same motor/compressor assembly on several diferent models with identical performance specifications. It should do a fine job of running the included tools. The following is copied directly from the specification tab at the Campbell Hausfeld web site.
Type Oil Lube
Style Horizontal
Gallon Capacity 8 Gallons
Max PSI 125 PSI
SCFM @ 40 PSI 4.3 SCFM
SCFM @ 90 PSI 3.7 SCFM
Running HP 1.3
Voltage 120V
Weight 112 lbs.
I think it is a bit unfair to give a tool a poor rating because of a typo in a web site.
 Tools will work with compressor September 25, 2007

This kit is designed for a home user. The painter and the impact wrench will not work continuously, but they will work for short times then the compressor needs to build up more pressure. The other tools, nailer, cleaner, and the tire inflater work fine. This is a good price for the tools and the compressor as long as you understand the limitations.
 You don't want this compressor is only 1.3 CFM at 90PSI March 4, 2007

From the Campbell Hausfeld website
"8 gallon oil-lubricated air compressor with 1.3 running horsepower and 1.3 SCFM @ 90 PSI"
That means the compressor in this kit, won't run any of the air tools included with this kit except the nailer.
