You never have too much CFM's. The die grinder will be used for longer periods of time and will be more likely to suck down the compressor than the impacts. An impact is more flow sensitive than pressure sensitive and is usually used in short bursts. The amount of CFM's a sand blaster uses depends on the size of the nozzle. A 18 CFM compressor will barely keep up with a 1/8" nozzle if you want to sandblast for long periods. For continuous use tank size doesn't mean much. A bigger tank allows you to use more CFM's before the compressor kicks in. After that you are relying on compressor capacity anyway. For short term large volume use like a 1" air wrench more tank capacity and a big hose is a plus. Just some random thoughts.
I have a 18 CFM 80 gallon compressor in the old shop that feeds a 3/4" air line that is buried to the truck shop. In the truck shop the air line ends at a 60 gallon holding tank. When my son is buzzing all of the rear wheels off a truck in one standing with the 1" air wrench the two tanks hooked together provides enough capacity to get the job done. If I am sand blasting with a nozzle that's worn big I have enough air for awhile longer because of the two tanks but after the tanks run down I have to quit and wait for a long time because it takes longer for the compressor to refill that big tank capacity.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
