The air from the compressor is usually pumped into a vessel that holds the air ready for use. The size of this tank is important when the use of the air is beyond the capacity of the compressor to generate. The storage of air can allow the user to use the tool for a longer duration before the need to stop and wait for the compressor to replenish the supply of compressed air. This becomes less of a factor when the compressor is of sufficient size to handle the application.
