Air Compressor Rental for the London, ON Area
Equipment Rental Brothers offers air compressor rental for the London, ON area for pneumatic nailers and other air tools. Compressors are available for single-tool and multi-tool setups and can be added to your booking for half-day, full-day, multi-day, or weekly use. If you are renting a pneumatic nailer, an air compressor is required unless you are supplying your own compatible compressor. Pickup is available from our Otterville, ON yard.
What CFM and PSI Mean
Air compressors are typically selected based on CFM and PSI. CFM measures the volume of air delivered, while PSI measures pressure. Pneumatic nailers and air tools need a minimum CFM at a minimum PSI to operate properly. If the compressor does not supply enough air volume, tool performance will lag between cycles.
Matching Compressor to Nailer
Framing nailers and higher-volume production work generally require a higher-CFM compressor than finish nailers, brad nailers, or lighter trim tools. A smaller compressor may work for low-demand tools, but not for sustained framing output. At booking, it helps to describe the tool you are using and the expected production pace so the correct compressor can be recommended.
Other Air Tool Applications
Air compressor rentals can also be used for other pneumatic tools such as:
- air impact wrenches
- air ratchets
- blow guns
- spray guns
- other shop or site tools that require pressurized air supply
If you are planning to run more than one tool, it is important to confirm the total air demand in advance.
- Available Sizes: Multiple sizes available; confirm load requirements at booking
- Typical Pressure Output: 90 to 150 PSI
- Power Source: Electric, 120V
- Compatible With: Pneumatic nailers and standard air tools
Required With: Any pneumatic nailer rental unless customer is using a compatible compressor of their own

Yes. All pneumatic nailers require an air compressor unless you already have your own compressor that meets the required CFM and PSI for the tool.
Yes, as long as your compressor meets the tool’s air requirements. If you are unsure, confirm the compressor specifications at booking and we can help you determine compatibility.
Framing nailers typically require a higher-CFM compressor than lighter trim nailers. If you expect sustained framing production, it is best to confirm the intended use at booking so the right compressor size can be recommended.
