SCFM is the metric you'll be most interested in. That looks like it could put out enough CFM for short blasts, but I'm no expert in that area. As for air tools, it'll work great.

That seems sufficient, this needs 4.0 @ 90 psi , but they recommend a 20-30 gal tank...

It will be enough for the blasting but barely. You will not be happy with that compressor at all especially with the most basic air tools.
