I ordered this portable air compressor after killing quite a few other supposed heavy duty 12 volt compressors. The only thing I am going to do is put battery clips on it so I don't have to use the cigarette lighter.

you have used it already and are saying its descent? i am ready to give in and just get a viair heavy duty OBA system.

 

Yes I've had it for about a month now and used it quite a bit. It is rated for 8 hours of continuous use and has a built in fan and a fair bit of heft to it when compared to the other plastic units. I had burned out a couple of the heavy duty harbor freight units, a viair 85p and quite a few $20 disposable units. Hopefully this one lasts, it does have a 5 year warranty.

 

The Q Industries are rated highly.

Yeah those are decent. I wanted something that was a bit more compact and fast to use around the house.

 

that red one tom posted I heard good things about, however im just going with a 10lb co2 tank

 

All I can say is go for it! My new VIAIR setup will fill my tires up in about 1/10 the time my other setup i had, but im running a dual VIAIR 480 setup now.

 

is that the constant setup? hopefully i can get it before april. i have so much to do next month including diff guards, hub, rock sliders, light tabs for the roof rack...

 

I just orderd that one for my father for xmas (to use down at his property). I will compare the 2 and see which I like better.

 

Yeah its 100% duty cycle. Works real well with my 2.5gal tank. I just gotta plumb some more air line quik connects on it (im still using the one under the hood)
