Powertank Alternative
Has anyone seen this before:
http://onboardair.com/port_tanks.htm
They're pretty affordable. The entire kit minus the bracket is $200+shipping. Powertank is over $300 for the same size kit. Another forum member made his own homemade kit and spent as much as this one. I might be ordering one soon...

That has no regulator for running air tools. Tires would be the only option as is.
You can get a PT from Mike at shockingly good prices with excellent service.
I think PT has a version of that which they are calling the Power Shot or some such thing. Not sure on the price, but I bet it is close.

MTNBKR,
150 psi is too high for air tools. The tools are to take no more than 90 psi really. You can use a little more, like 100 psi. Some tools specifically state this on them as they can burst, or the excess pressure wears out the tools pretty quick. That is why I have a Powertank. If you want a cheaper one, I suggest getting a cheaper tank, but getting a Powertank regulator.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if the 90 psi rating was a max or the minimum for a particular tool. Either way, I'm more interested in the ability to air up tires quickly, not running tools.
