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

Nice piece. Well made.

The California Air Tools 10 gal tank is a handy tool to have on hand, but the other reviews describing the fitting as cheap are correct. I ordered the 5 gal tank, filled it with 100 lbs of air, it leaked down to about 70 lbs over night. Couldnt find the leak. I returned it , and ordered the 10 gal tank. When the 10 gal tank arrived, I discovered that it had been purchased and returned by a previous customer. The tank had air in it and had some scuff marks on the bottom of the tank. Im a bit disappointed in Amazon for pulling that sort of transaction. But, the 10 gal tank is much like the 5 gal tank, has cheap fittings. I put 100 lbs of air in it and it leaked down about 5 lbs within 2 or 3 hours. I soap tested it for leaks, but could not find any I cant tell why it is losing air pressure. I will keep it and replace the fitting if it becomes a real problem. Just be prepared to fill the tank before you use it, I dont know how long air will remain in the tank over a long period of time.. I did buy the aluminum tank, it is light, and well built. It should last a long time. I do plan to up grade the fittings later.

I bought the aluminum version. Its a nice tank, but the fittings are cheap. Why scrimp there?

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

As previous posters have said, the hardware is substandard. However, I think CAT understands that 99% of purchasers are going to use this tank not as a portable tank, but rather to modify it for use as auxiliary capacity for a shop air compressor. Thus the hardware is going to be trashed anyway. Other quality attributes could have been done better though, namely the decal on my unit was full of air bubbles and poorly affixed. Other than those minor complaints, its a great tank and of sound construction.

I wish I would have bought this years ago. Ive been lugging around a steel 5 gal one for years. This thing lasts twice as long and is super lite.

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.

Works great and very easy to fill

awesome

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