air compressor in bed of truck

is there air compressors that will work with the outlet in the bed of the truck

 

The only one I've found is a Craftsman Model # 75117.

 

How much do you need in the way of CFM? I'd think a 12v job and small tank would be the way to go.

 

Most portable compressors are 12v DC.

Even the smallest 120V ac compressors (2 HP, 10 amp, 5 gal) will draw over 1200 watts, which is way more than the AC outlet will allow.

will this work

 

It doesn't say how many amps it draws. You need to know the amps or watts to know if the inverter in the tacoma has enough power.

 

It says 1hp which is 746 watts if I remember right.
You need one with less than 400 watt draw.
Dewalt makes one that will work if you search their website.

 

The compressor I mentioned above is a 120 volt Craftsman model which draws 3.3 amps which equates to 396 watts using the formula, watts = amps x volts.

 

Check our the 12V unit at the bottom of the page: http://www.transplant.co.za/html/body_aircompressors.html

Same unit member "Icefox" uses.
