Those things are a f'n joke. It can only fill until the
pressure in the tank & tire are equalized. So, you load
up the gas station unit with quarters and see IF it can
pump up the tank with 135 PSI. Ooops! timed out. More
quarters. Later you try to inflate any normal size tire
(not bicycle, wheelbarrow, handtruck, 30 series pothole
disaster tires). Transfer tank volume runs out when
equalized at maybe 20 PSI. Good enough, go to gas
station, load up machine with quarters, finish pumping
up tire, hurry to fill transfer tank too, ****-timed out
and only at 70 PSI, more quarters. There! Done!! That
was easy.

Who the **** would pay for air? The OP said he used it to
air his scooter tires. A 10 gal tank at 100psi will hold
enough air to pump his tires for a year. Nice rant tho.

"... really handy when you want to air up a tire in a
place where you can't easily get electrical power or
stretch a hose." errr...you pump up a compressor, disconnect and take it
anywhere needed. It doesn't need to be plugged in to
discharge ya know.

And if the sole use is his scooter tires, how does that
apply? Do you think he intends to strap it to his bike?

The one on my work truck is prolly 8 years old, used
regularly, exposed to the elements (durable), and very
cheap. If you buy a 'good' compressor you've paid too
much to air up scooter tires. If you get a cheap one,
they usually fail within a year. Fill it at your local
station, it'll hold enough air for your tires for a year. If not, you
need new
tubes/tires. If too heavy, move down to a 5 gal.

WTF is a prolly?

WTF is a RedGreen or 'ofeeeeeended'?

Why keep trolling the same boring tripe?
