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

My Husband loves this small lightweight air tank. Great value for the price.

You 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.

This 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.

This tank had leaks at 3 locations. I sealed all but the main one at the tank outlet. They need to some work this. I returned the tank to Amazon. California customer service was very easy to deal with, and they said they switched the lock tight supplier, but that is where the good customer support ends. I will order another one, and we shall see. Some of the leaks were really small, as I did the checks in a water tank to identify them...To add to the list very poor customer support. I asked for a replacement for a leaking fitting, and was told to fill out a form on their website. I did that, and heard nothing from them. I wont buy again. I was going to buy a compressor, but with lax support I will not.. After a few more weeks I find another issue. Another leak where the hose is crimped to the fitting. Everything leaks on the tank. So if you order one throw all the fittings away, and get some good ones, as these are junk. One more thing to add. Notice that the seller never responds.

I bought this to keep on my ATV trailer, because often we will air down the tires depending on trails. This seemed perfect, its light, inflates the tires fast and doesnt make any noise! Ive had this for 6 months now. It doesnt hold air, and it hasnt from the very beginning. At first I thought maybe I wasnt using it right, or hadnt closed the valve tightly. So I went back and re-read the instructions, and it still doesnt hold air. It will only hold air for about 3 hours, before its completely empty.

So far so good. No complaints. So glad I have this for finish nailer and filling tires

10 gallon Aluminum: I like it. If I knew a flaw I would warn you. I leave mine pressurised 24/7 from compressor. Rarely does the compressor kick on when at rest. This includes my AstroPneumatic tire inflator plugged in to a 50 foot BostonPerfection hose. I like it. 1 gallon portables become 11 gallon, and will run most reasonable tools , if constrictions in valve connectors are full flow. Air is a fluid with friction resistance at every surface and kink . Think of water hoses . Again, most pleased MarkTanksley

I 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.

awesome

I 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
