    Default Portable Compressor



    I've been shopping for a new compressor and settled on this one, it's a local company and the reviews and price are great:

    $58.36 & FREE Shipping

    These are decent compressors. I got one several years ago from Costco and ti has worked well. I changed the hose, got rid of the gauge, and rotated the head so the intake is protected and the hose goes straight out.

    That's the unit I have. It's decent.

    A chuckle about the ad: The two cap bolts that are in the head don't look screwed in.

    I had 1 of these for my CJ and recently sold it to fatboris. They work well but at our altitude, don't expect to inflate "under 2 minutes".

    I have the similar MF-1050. Works. Better than carrying around a few bucks in quarters and trying to find a gas station with an air pump.

    My Smittybuilt takes a while to fill up the 35s from around 10-15 psi to 35psi, first tire is always the fastest and it gets slower with each tire even with a cool down time in between tires.
