> 3 daymet my expectations just fine. I wish in a way I had got the aluminum rather than the steel for the light weight but I guess the steel will hold up longer. works just like it is suppose to. filled it with 100lbs of air , brought it home and pumped up both bike tires . no problem. Its all steel so the most that could go wrong is with the fittings and they can be replaced. Soooo, all is good. thanks

20-11-2024I 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.

> 3 dayProduct arrived in good condition on time. Had to change the air tool connectors to automotive type - not sellers problem. The fittings provided on the unit seemed to be of adequate quality, I just dont use that type. The tank has held air without leak for 3 days. BONUS: a nice touch was the purge valve at the bottom of the tank for periodic condensation removal! Aluminum tank is much lighter and easy to handle than steel tank!! And it does not rust.

Greater than one weekI use this portable tank for inflating my garden tractor tires where there is no electricity. It holds the pressure in the tank without leaking for a very long time (weeks).

> 3 dayIt 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.

> 3 dayOther reviewers mentioned that CAT went cheap on the brass and they werent joking.... The goop they use to seal the threads is also pretty nasty stuff...smells like some sort of epoxy. The compressor I got from them was kind of leaky until I taped and reseated everything, so I didnt even bother filling the tank up before replacing the fittings. I cant say for sure if they are even brass. As you can see the Tee fitting broke apart as I was removing it. The tank itself is very lightweight and feels solid. Im wary about replacing the drain valve and main intake fitting since I dont want to deal with returning the item should anything happen. I dont think the threaded ports that are welded onto the tank are solid aluminum, but what can you expect for about $100? Its still a good value, but I wish they would have not included the extras and maybe just had more solid ports.

> 3 dayGot the aluminum one. Nice and portable. Hooked it up to my 2.5 gallon compressor, so its like having a 7.5 gallon compressor. Then I can remove it to take it outside for super portability to top off some tires. Gage and fitting work good enough for me not to have to replace it with an upgrade right away. I can see how it could break off depending where you hold it (or dont hold it) in the right place. Im confident mine wont break off because of where I hold it while attaching the hose to it.
