California Air Tools CAT-AUX10A Lightweight Portable Aluminum Air Tank, 10 Gallon, Silver

GOOD STEEL TANK, A LITTLE FLIMSY ON THE GAUGES AND VALVES BUT THEY WORK. THATS WHAT KEEPS THE PRICE DOWN. I WOULDNT RECOMMEND THIS ONE TO SOMEONE THAT WILL BE THOROUGHGOING IT IN THE BACK OF A TRUCK EVERY DAY.

Very nice tank. Nice features include a drain and quick fill fitting. Has held pressure for months with no loss of air. The oddity is that the lines on the gauge are in six pound increments rather than the five one would expect. Weird. Also, surprised that the price has gone up almost $50 since November.

Only fills one tire. Go for the larger size.

This is a fantastic product. The patented air intake mechanism is awesome for filling. We have used dozens of air tanks over the years at the Auction and this is far and away the yard guys favorite. Being in NH with older makes and cooler nights trades come in with low air in tires every week this is a life saver. The extra capacity with the ease to add air quick and accurately without damaging the hardware is well worth the money.

I would have liked to have threaded ends on the hose. I dont need this to put air in tires.

I found the whole assembly well-thought-out for the casual user. The valve does a good job of keeping the air in when you want it to, the connections make it easy to either fill the tank or use it. Could they be tougher or better protected? Sure. But in casual use, this thing should last for a very long time. Key thing to longevity is to detach all hoses and other stuff while transporting it. You cant expect the tank valve to survive much abuse given how its installed vs. how the rest of the assembly acts on it. Welds on mine looked fine, just as the paint job. Its very light, and it stores a much more air than my compressor. Makes it ideal for quick refills of tires and like stuff, rather than having to lug a compressor and power cord around. I would also recommend it for large but intermittent loads, where your compressor can use it like a battery to store air that is going to be released in short bursts that exceed the capacity of the built-in accumulator. Using this tank in a fixed installation is likely a waste as similar steel-based tanks cost less. Downside of steel tanks, however, is that you have to watch for water (and the resultant corrosion).

I dont know if this is better than others or if they are all pretty much the same but I love mine. Its super lightweight and is great for small projects that would otherwise require taking my air compressor with me. I just wish they made a 20 gallon tank.

Excellent product

Works great so far. I chose the steel tank but it is still lighter then my pancake compressor. I keep it at 90 which is conservative but my van can get over 120 in the sun. I am going to get a longer hose so I dont even need to take it out of the back.
