But as i said before, i'm not considering 120v. i looking at portability as i will be between 3 locations and it needs to fit in one of the vehicles

Yea...thinking about that route.Ted_v2 wrote:That last pic u posted up kronic is win, that is for air ride and thing.
Mount a tank below tray bed in ur pickup and run a quick connect, rell bess setup. Those fellas in the states does rate it, saw a build ched a fella with a datsun 620 use one of those and his chassis as the airtank. great option. That fitting in ur engine room and piping out hose ect.

Between my home, my parents and the business, we have 6vehicles.
Tire pressuring is becoming a pain when i have to go to a tire-shop to get the tires inflated, then its either over inflated or under inflated because they use those bogus stick type guages in the tireshop. So i need to wait till the wheels are cooled and set the correct pressure.
So i was thinking of getting a good 12v compressor to be able to do quick fills and top ups.
I have a cig lighter slime kit compressor but that thing is annoying and vibrates all over.
Last time i used it started to smell burnt.
Features preferred:
-good length of hose and a quick detach end for the valve stems
- easy to set up and pack away
- quick fill time
-small enough to keep in one of the vehicles.
What allyuh have in mind?
12 volt only for emergency off road use makes a lot of sense. But you can get a faster, more reliable fill from a can of Fix-a-flat. If you're just checking and maintaining pressure, a quality air guage and a portable tank work well, too.
Another option is a direct-fill, 120v compact compressor. You only need an extension cord.
I have never seen a 12v compressor that worked as well as most 120v.
So back onto compressors.
From all what i have seen so far; anything running off a cigarette lighter jack is a toy and not worth the purchase.
So i started looking into 12v compressors with a tank or dual piston.
I was considering buying on of those offroad kits from ARB which comes with a higer amperage compressor in a case with direct leads for the car battery. But at 350US, the performance didnt match the price.
So i started looking at the twin compressors but its seems to be the same... nothing impressive gonna happen without an air tank to strore the air.
ARB twin kit with tank is like 850US...that go have to remain there...
I found this on amazon:
Looking like it will do the trick.
The reason i didnt consider the 120v compressors is that they not that portable and need to have a 120v supply to charge the tank. Sounding like double work to me.
I'll keep looking still....

Nice
but still consider the 120 V , with the wide availability of 120 V inverter equipment you can get stuff which is a lot lighter and you can purchase a small generator which is now very light also . i cannot believe how good my welding plant works and it is so light compared to the old transformer ones .
Because of your farm consider if only a compressor is needed of if in the near future you will need other stuff
I will take a look at thesehong kong phooey wrote:this is a big one delivering more than 30A

it not very light.
I wonder how much pressure those pancake tanks can take or lets say a 5 gal water pump pressure tank.
Maybe if it could take a few hundred psi then it could be filled and kept as a storage fill tank like a pcp gun.

Hey tunerz anyone know the average price for one of these batteries in the store?

1/2 would be preferred. Getting the mid torque Milwaukee and two 5.0ah batteries for 3200.
Kinda don't wanna spend so much right now. Dewalt tools are usually cheaper, so that's why I'm looking at it.
