> 24 hourTank works great. Super lightweight and seems very well built. The supplied hose was cheap and broke almost immediately. I replaced it with a better one that works better. Still, I would buy the his again.

> 24 hourmost of the hardware was left loose. the fitting into the tank was so tight, heat , cheater bar, nothing worked to loosen it up. one of the air fittings on the tank was pointing directly at the handle so you couldnt get an air line on. nice tank, terrible assembly. wont purchase from this vender again. I would bet nobody reads or cares about this review. chuck

> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourGot 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.

> 24 hourmet 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

> 24 hourI would have liked to have threaded ends on the hose. I dont need this to put air in tires.

> 24 hourYou will be showing this off at the pits, telling people to lift your air tank and seeing their reaction as everyones naturally tendency is to yank them up. I left it full in my garage for a couple of weeks, came pack and it didnt drop a single psi. Well worth it.

> 24 hourI have an older steel tank that is exactly that a tank! And it weighs as much as a tank. I love this much lighter aluminum air tank. It is made of quality components. So many of these air tanks have the cheapest components that are easily broken or bent. I use my own air hose and chuck as the one included is not very well made. Filling the tank is easy and I have had no leaks.
