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

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.

Like that it is light weight and aluminum. It has three different fittings for lots of options for filling and using.Lightwei tohth

My compressor is in the front of the garage. And we have a large back yard, so having to take the lawn tractor, dump trailer or some other cart with aired tires around to the front of the house to add air is nuts, I use this tank to air up tires in the backyard. I have about 14 tires back there. Love it!

I thought some of the other reviews about the brass fittings on this tank were an exaggeration, but my tank arrived today- and before I used it once, the T splitter brass fitting snapped and broke in half. All I did was remove a connector to add loc-tight to the threads.. It couldn’t handle the extra torque that a couple layers of thread tape added and broke apart in my hands. However... I drove to a True Value hardware store and replaced all the brass and it was fixed a half hour later, and it was a significant upgrade. I added a second flow control PSI gauge as well- so there’s one stock gauge to measure the air in the tank, and another to measure/control the flow. I highly recommend this. The other reviews are serious- you’re going to have to replace the brass. If you want to postpone this- do not adjust anything. It may leak air, but drip liquid thread sealer into the threads.. don’t turn them. With that out of the way... The tank is great. I actually love it and am still happy with my purchase. It turned my little 1 gallon compressor into a serious piece of useful equipment. With the new fittings it doesn’t leak at all and works beautifully. It’s a shame about the brass.. But I get it. It’s hard to compete when China is pumping this kind of stuff out for near wholesale prices for any US company.

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).

It is a great air tank but I wish I would have paid attention to how much it weighs then I would have went with a lighter one. It should last 10 lifetimes but it is super heavy and hard for me to carry around. If youre younger and stronger then go for it you will like it.

Works great and very easy to fill

Contacted customer service about defective pressure gauge. The only thing I received from them were multiple form emails. I, finally, got tired of waiting and bought my own replacement gauge. Corona related, a possibility.

Nice tank, seems well made and lightweight as advertised. HOWEVER, the fittings are very low quality and I would have preferred to save $15 and not have them included. Right out of the box, the tire chuck was leaking. I removed it and noticed the quick connect leaked as well. I replaced the quick connect and filled it up again to find that the 1/4 turn shut off valve wouldnt stop air from coming back out. To top this all up, the T-junction snapped off when I was untying the valve and I had to replace that too.
