> 3 daymost 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

Greater than one weekSo $60 to double the capacity of my California Air compressor, which is awesome and so quiet. No brainer, since the CA compressor just wouldnt run my air tools. Yes, a Harbor Freight one is a little less money, but then you have to retrofit ($) the correct fittings to make it work. The CA one is ready to go Steel, so no, not super light weight. If you want that, get their aluminum version Had one loose fitting, so I removed the whole valve assembly, teflon taped it all up, tightened, reinstalled. I would recommend tape anyway, since they use a goop that if the fitting is turned it will be forever loose and probably leak

> 3 dayInitially very impressive. Twice the weight/thickness as my old corroded tank and no pressure loss after two days. Not too expensive.

> 3 dayHave several cars that have leaky wheels or tires. Bought this because once you fill it, you can quickly top off your tires, without waiting for a small compressor to do its job. In the winter no one wants to wait five minutes to top off one tire. This does it in under 30 seconds. That said I bought a longer coiled air hose, and a squeeze trigger with a built in tire gauge. Hose locks to the tire valve for one-handed operation. Keep in mind you do need access to an air compressor to refill the tank. Handy thing to have and great to put air in tractor tires in the field.

11-06-2025Pros: 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.

> 3 dayLightweight and holds air with no leaks, so far. The brass fitting are junk, though. Do yourself a favor and buy fittings the shops use- Milton.

Greater than one weekUltra light, similarly sized steel tanks are too heavy. This tank is super versatile with male and female quick connections. It can easily be added inline to boast tank capacity of portable compressors. Many tanks only have a screwed on hose with an air chuck for filling tires. Tee fitting conflicts with gauge a little for some what unprofessional configuration.
