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

My last tank (made in usa) lasted 40 years. Well see.

Light weight but built well.

Good

I like the tank overall. The only thing that bothered me is that they put on a very cheap hose and tire chuck. I have already replaced the hose and chuck.

Buy this model for only a little more. You wont be disappointed. I particularly like the shut off to the hose., and the incoming air has a coupler .

There were few instructions on the valve on tank. Also, no water drain on tank bottom.

I bought two cheaper tanks and both were DOA. Just as well because this is a very nice tank; especially the plumbing provided.

California Air Tools are well made. I have a compressor along with this portable air tank. The portable air tank is quick coupled to the compressor for additional air receiver volume.

I 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.

The tank is very light and seems to be well constructed, but almost all of the fittings leaked (all but 1 of the 6). I spent more time than I would have liked trying to fix all of the leaks. Not a major issue, but all fittings should be checked before the tank is used. Also, the gage is placed in location where it runs into one side of the tee. Your best bet is to reconfigure the fittings/gage so there is limited interference. Because of the interference, the first tank I received had a smashed gage. The packing of the tank in the box was poor at best. If anything of weight was placed on the top of the box, the gage is likely to break. Was able to send the tank with the smashed gage back with no issue. New tank arrived in a couple of days.
