Used the search. Surprised we didn't have a thread about air compressors! That I could see.
The one I have has just died after stuff all use. It's about 2 years old but has only done a few small jobs here and there. I went to use it the other day and it went for 2 seconds and stopped dead. No strange noise, no burning smell, no getting hot, just nothing. The usual tapping with a hammer and checking the wiring revealed nothing. Considering the amount of work it's done I was peed friggin off. As below it is a Projecta Cyclone.
Looking at the Bushranger series in ARB today I noted it looked very similar to some of those. Got talking to the sales guy there who said that the Bushranger air compressors do indeed have a lot of rip off copies that look almost identical. Some of the copies, apparently, have plastic pistons which take absolutely no punishment at all. I'm wondering if that might be the case with this one.
Just wondering what portable air compressors people have and what their experiences are with the ones they've got. Apparently, even the el-cheapo Bushranger (smallest model) will pump up to 120 Psi! Albeit slowly.
