Thread: Portable compressor for tyres

Hope you don't need the arb one for 6 weeks. That is waht I was told when I went to but one at Easter. Probably should recheck now myself. Wonder what deal we could get for 2 or more?

Shortage is probably to do with their recent offer of $299 (I think), which equated to $100 or so off RRP.

I have one of those as well but now its welded to the top of a $99 aircompressor tank that I picked up cheap from kmart cause it was allegedly broken.

those same compressors sell for less than #90 at supercheap.

Off to capalaba in the morning. Want me to pick you one up for sat?

Got the same one for my birthday yesterday (Thanks SWMBO! ). Works a dream! Pumped a 245/75 up from 15Psi to 38Psi in about 2 minutes yesterday. If only I had it 2 weeks ago I might not have had to test the winch

Just compare it to the supercrap model, they're identical IMHO!

I'm going to mount mine under the passenger seat to alleviate that problem, I noticed that the switch wasn't particularly good quality. I reckon it'll just be easier to wire it permanently in & put a switch on the dash instead

I bought a new ARB just last Thursday, so they're still in the system. This one was sent out from Sydney or Melbourne somewhere.

I had an old one that was slow, but these new ones are pretty bloody impressive! They may not be the quickest on the market but they're quick and I couldn't justify paying more to save a few seconds. Actually my choice was also based on the ease of fitting it where the old one was and the ability to easily reconnect the locker solinoids.
