Edit - 5 CFM @ 90 PSI's is all that is needed for many good tools. So you probably wouldnt need a tank. The next question I would have is if the powerplant is 100% duty cycle.

Here is the CFM flows for some common tools, I got them from the Ingersoll-Rand web site
w~w.factoryauthorizedoutlet.com/ir/products

3/8 impact wrench - CFM @ Load: 17
1/2 ratchet - At load: 24 CFM
18,000 die grinder - 40 CFM @ Full Load*
Note: Ingersolls web site doesn't show CFM flow for their grinders, I got that info off of Graingers site.

Unless your dead set on air tools, it is much more efficient and much cheaper to run a good inverter and use electric tools.
