Portable Compressors

[dutchman]

Which brand of portable compressors do you guys like? ARB? Viair? Smittybilt? Superflow?

I'm looking at getting one and don't want to buy a piece of junk. It'll mainly be used to air-up after the trail. Most likely will never see tires larger than 33" but having the ability to do 35s would be a plus.

I've had the best luck with Viair. Not a single problem, but a bit expensive. I'm running a Puma now that was much less and has served me well, but I'm not sure if they even offer a 12 volt model any longer.

Yeah I like yours a lot. Do you happen to remember the cost and where you got it? I've found 400P for around $200, does that seem correct?
Does yours have the ability to run air tools?

I see Puma 12v still available: http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-volt-1-5...515?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c6eb6e343

Same thing with larger tanks: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-HP-2-Gal-...250?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4845e1059a

Good to know, that first one is the same one I run now.

I got mine from Amazon (~$280): http://www.amazon.com/VIAIR-Automatic-Function-Portable-Compressor/dp/B000X9EGFS

It can run air tools if you add a storage tank. I'd love to strap a couple of these to the Tundra: http://www.amazon.com/Viair-91050-Gallon-4-Port-Reservoir/dp/B000YC5IFQ

Seeing those tanks now have me thinking about onboard air...

X2 for the Viair 450P. I haven't had any problems with mine and it airs up 33's fast.
