Portable air compressor rebranding?
I was looking to buy a portable air compressor for airing up my tires, and finally settled on the Smittybilt one:
http://shop.synergyoffroad.com/produ...&categoryId=23
I got it on some other website for $65 with free shipping. Not bad, I would say.
Then I started looking at other air compressor reviews, and came upon this Warn one:
http://www.4by4connection.com/warn77495.html
I was comparing the numbers, then suddenly realized that, "Hey...these two kinda look the same..." Take a look for yourself, but I think it's the same compressor, but branded differently. They even look the same, except for the paint, and come with the same accessories. And the price difference? How about $65 versus $125!!!
I'll let you guys know how well this thing works when I get it. BTW, I think I got a pretty good deal.

Yes, you are correct.....
BTW, with more searching, I have found a lot more look-alikes, at differing prices. For instance, Viair makes one that also looks like these two. Hmmm.....
