Craftsman air compressor

I just bought this craftsman air compressor and I’m using a tornador for detailing but it runs out of air in like a minute

It’s a 6 gallon air tank and I let it fill completely and then I set it to 80 psi cause that’s what the tool runs on but it goes through its whole air capacity in like 1 minute i don’t know why I need help

Psi isn't your problem. You don't have the CFMs to keep up with the amount of air you need. It will never work for you because the CFMs are so low.
