How much does a small bottle of nitrogen and a regulator cost? The auto parts stores carry small (really small) 12 VDC compressors. I blew up an air mattress with one once. It took so long and was so noisy that I put it in the station wagon while camping and forgot about it. Burst every seam in the mattress and we slept on the ground that night.
Quincy is my favorite commercial rig, for home it's Campbell-Hausfeld.

OK, I've narrowed my choices down to these two, I think.

It's a little more money than I wanted to spend but I think it's a good compromise between dirt cheap and too much money at this time.  Ed

The 60 gallon takes up no more floor space than the smaller one, and the larger tank will slow down the run times if you aren't using it for extended periods.

I like 'Assembled in the US with global components'
So that means it was all made in China  The receiver and the compressor arrive separate. Unless they just stick the label on   DaveH

Ya Dave you hit the nail on the head,
 if it comes to the US in at least 2 or 3 pieces it's considered parts as apposed to a finished product making the import taxes about half as high.  And every body wonders why we cant compete with the imports on our own soil!  Jerry.

Jerry,
It is just the same here Although there was a big discussion about 20 years ago on how much needed to be local to be "Made in South Africa". The discussion became so complex and convoluted it just died without any real conclusions. What is "made", what is "assembled" Take your gold ring or your wife's there is a 90% chance it is South African gold so the gold was "made" in South Africa DaveH |
