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

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 found the whole assembly well-thought-out for the casual user. The valve does a good job of keeping the air in when you want it to, the connections make it easy to either fill the tank or use it. Could they be tougher or better protected? Sure. But in casual use, this thing should last for a very long time. Key thing to longevity is to detach all hoses and other stuff while transporting it. You cant expect the tank valve to survive much abuse given how its installed vs. how the rest of the assembly acts on it. Welds on mine looked fine, just as the paint job. Its very light, and it stores a much more air than my compressor. Makes it ideal for quick refills of tires and like stuff, rather than having to lug a compressor and power cord around. I would also recommend it for large but intermittent loads, where your compressor can use it like a battery to store air that is going to be released in short bursts that exceed the capacity of the built-in accumulator. Using this tank in a fixed installation is likely a waste as similar steel-based tanks cost less. Downside of steel tanks, however, is that you have to watch for water (and the resultant corrosion).

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

Great Air tank. I wish I had bought one of these when I was 20.

Other reviewers mentioned that CAT went cheap on the brass and they werent joking.... The goop they use to seal the threads is also pretty nasty stuff...smells like some sort of epoxy. The compressor I got from them was kind of leaky until I taped and reseated everything, so I didnt even bother filling the tank up before replacing the fittings. I cant say for sure if they are even brass. As you can see the Tee fitting broke apart as I was removing it. The tank itself is very lightweight and feels solid. Im wary about replacing the drain valve and main intake fitting since I dont want to deal with returning the item should anything happen. I dont think the threaded ports that are welded onto the tank are solid aluminum, but what can you expect for about $100? Its still a good value, but I wish they would have not included the extras and maybe just had more solid ports.

Does what it is suppose to do. Holds air very well for at least several weeks. Easy to use.

Lightweight 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.

Good

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.

Works great so far. I chose the steel tank but it is still lighter then my pancake compressor. I keep it at 90 which is conservative but my van can get over 120 in the sun. I am going to get a longer hose so I dont even need to take it out of the back.
