Power tool advice?

No, 5psi (boost) at 90cfm would be a computer case fan blowing into a garbage bag.

You probably meant 5cfm @ 90psi. This all depends on what you want to run and how hard you are going to run it. That's not a lot of air for high consumption tools.

If I am making a living at it I would get higher line tools but (you can call me cheap now) if I am using a tool very infrequently I get those from Harbor Frieght. For example I wanted a screw gun in the house for blinds, misc repairs etc.

15 bucks for 18v cordless drill with a light and it works fine for the tasks a hand.
