Greater than one weekThis works great to bring compressed air to a small job, without having to lug the compressor over to the job. Easy to connect male fittings to it. Red handle turns off air flow when you need to do so. It does not feel heavy to lug around. I use it around the barn and workshop.

> 3 dayThis 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.

> 3 dayThere were few instructions on the valve on tank. Also, no water drain on tank bottom.

> 3 dayReceived two. Both were broken and did not function properly. Now I’m fighting for service under the supposed 1 year warranty on the second tank because I bought through Amazon instead of direct.

> 3 dayI bought the 10 gal portable air tank. When I received it I put a 100lbs psi of air in it. And in 3 days it was empty and I never used it for anything. I do like the tank its self but what good is it if it will not hold air. Kind of defeats the purpose of having it in the first place. Now I have two choices send it back or spend more money to replace the fittings that should of worked in the first place.

> 3 dayPros: light (purchased the AL tank), nice design, nice features (1/4 turn drain, valve to isolate tank from brass, can be filled two ways) Cons: cheap brass, poor assembly Purchased this tank to match the California Air Tool compressor I purchased at the orange hardware store. I give in 3.5 stars because I really like the tank now that it works correctly. If you purchase this tank please be aware that your will need replace all most all the brass on that comes on the tank. It is cheap and clearly the part of the product that was skimped on the reduce costs. Had to replace all the brass in the in photo with higher quality products from the orange hardware store. The isolation valve and hose coupler leaked and the tee fitting split when replacing the leaky parts. Save yourself some time and have all of these on hand. All are 1/4” npt by the way. The tire chuck hose whip came with nipple finger tight only. Additionally it had an excessive amount of Teflon tape on the hose fitting end including tape covering the opening of the fitting. I also found this on the brass on the tank. This is very poor assembly quality that can damage your tools as the Teflon tape does not break down and clogs screens and jams tools. Sad to see California Air Tools put a sticker on the tank that proudly says it was assembled in the USA but has such poor assembly quality. Please leave the sticker off in future.

Greater than one weekI read the reviews and bought it anyway. The reviews were correct, valves dont work right out of the box.I will have to replace all valves. The Aluminum tank is nice but the valves are junk
