I routinely drive even my Senco with one of those crappy little hot dog units for small projects. Aggressive use does exceed the duty rating of that unit. The real question is how much air (scfm) and at what pressure. I need 90 for the Senco and lot less for other tools. The HF site will tell you the air consumption and pressure required.
To answer your question as best I can, I ran an air chisel with 100 feet of 3/8" hose using my extreme duty pancake. The air chisel is a high air tool and I did have to stop and go. I have to do that even with a short hose.
