For an average weekend machanic, 5 + HP electric motor with 30+ gallon tank will do. The critical part is the CFM of the unit, most air tool works 4 - 7 CFM. As for as tools are concern, it depends on the budget nice to have snap on, MAC tool or Ingersol Rand but they wil cost you an arm and a leg. In a medium budget Campbell Hausfeld, craftsman, and Huskey (home depot) are great. An 1/2 inpact gun, 3/8 ratchet, air chiesel and impact sockets are the most commonly used air tools.
