Default Is this compressor any good??

Looking at getting a compressor, its only 60 quid and comes with a spray gun, nail gun and a few other goodies.
1.5 horse power and 6.3 cfm.
Will this be any good for some spraying every now and again.
And will it be man enough for an air rachet??

Cheers guys

For spraying panels or bumpers it'll be OK, forget it for a whole car.

It will probably work a small air ratchet but Not an Impact gun.

Ideal for home is 3hp motor and minimum 50ltr tank

well i only gotta pay half, so for 30 quid that'll do for now. if i ever clear the garage out i will get a bigger one.
I could even spray my old girls fences for her to say thank you for letting me have a 13' pit in her garage.
she dosent know it yet but my drive is going to get larger this weekend too. She dosent really need that wall.
