They have some pretty good compressors on sale at Schucks(Checker/Kragen). I picked up the (brand escapes me at this moment since I am stuck on the ship) I think Superflow? MV-50 for $49. (+ I got my 10% military discount) It puts out 70LPM up to like 120 psi which equates to like 2.54 CFM which is damn good considering the price. I was looking at Viair compressors, and it is close to or equal to the output of the 400 series. This compressor has a duty cycle, but I am planning on using it with a 2.5 gallon tank since I have tons of room under the 87 pickup. I guess that I will get to test it out on the Tahuya State Forest run on Saturday.

2.5 gallon tank?! thats soooo small...... i have a house compressor with a 5 gal tank, and it cant run a die grinder for 15 seconds befroe it has liek 10 psi pressure left and has to run for 5 mintues to get back up to 110 psi in the tanks

Yeah, but I have a Powertank PT-10 as well as a 20lb ex fire extinguisher CO2 bottle with a new Powertank bracket and handle. I want to save the CO2 for air tools. I am tired of all the helpless people that I sometimes go wheeling with that don't bring any sort of air source to air their tires back up, and expect me to use all my CO2 gas to air them back up. At least with a compressor I can afford to be charitable.
