    Yeah i got the harbor freight one.

    Yeah I guess, I can just about fill one tire with a 2.5 gallon tank 0-35psi before the tank is equalized.


    wait nevermind mine is way different, and less expensive. Most likey mine is a piece of shit and thats why it keeps blowing fuses

    Looks similar to my Slime branded compressor. Wonderful little tool. I've used mine probably 50 times now and I typically fill four 33" tires from 18 psi to 30psi. It's quick too. About three minutes per tire I'd say. I paid $80 at Walmart and it came with a tire repair kit and carrying pouch.

    P.S. Still works as good as the day I bought it. I feel I've got my moneys worth out of it.

    good to know! here's a question, do you have to use an air tank with these? or can you just put power to it and fill your tires directly?

    No tank needed. Turn it on and put air directly into your tire. Very straight forward.
