    The only complaint I would have, is that the pressure gauge is no more than a rough guide. I always carry another gauge with me anyway that I know is fairly accurate, so it is not a major drama. I have found the gauge on the compressor to be anything up to 5psi out.

    From memory, I paid around the $120 mark on sale...
    I bought one of these as a backup in case the AC air compressor even has issues. I tried it the other week and it did 4 tyres without a problem.

    A guy at work bought the smaller one, it did 1 (pajero) tyre then needed a rest as the thermal cutout had tripped.

    It's a diesel, so the choofer is out, but a fascinating concept!

    The T-maxx one is attention grabbing. I thought it looked familiar, so I had a ferret about, the TJM compressor looks mighty similar (ok, probably the same thing)

    vs

    http://www.t-max.com.au/products/tai...ompressor.html

    that's looking like a mighty good deal. I'll have to look at one in the flesh at TJM and see what their prices are and go from there!

    I have the same as the "Outback Devil" which I purchased from Supercheap a few years back, I have used it many, many times and have no problems recommending it as far as I can see it is identical to some models costing twice as much, Regards Frank.

    Look on ebay, there is that exact model sold by one or two mobs. I picked one up for less than $70 including shipping. Pumps up the 35's in a fraction of the time of my poor little ancient(but reliable- though it does smell like burning plastic when it's done) ARB puppy. Seems to do the job well.

    I have what is now the $70 unit from supercheap, had it longer than big red and its still doing duty. Its copped a flogging and has even been used to charge air tanks to run rattle guns and it will also inflate the blast tank I made but that takes about 15 minutes to get to 100ish psi.

    so by all accounts the supercheap ones would be fine for the ammount of use that I would give it. I think it's false economy going any higher in specification for that I do. Just debating if I get the $70, go the next one up, or look a the T-max.

    I think the SCA one will get the nod because at least I can take it back for repairs etc to a local store. Thanks for all of your help folks

    Like you I did not not want to spent big dollars on my first compressor - I bought one of these - $100 delivered.

    NEW 12V 150Lt/Min Heavy Duty Air Compressor 4WD - eBay 4x4 Accessories, Exterior, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 01-Dec-09 17:04:19 AEDST)

    Will pump up a flat 35" tyre to 40psi in 5 minutes on a 35c day and the pump was still cool enough to touch without getting burnt. I am not sure how long it will last but it does work great.

    If I was going top shelf equipment, at the moment I would go the bigger ARB but it costs but does have top performance.
