 |
|
Does anyone have any experience or can make a recommendation for a
portable air pump ? This would be to add some air to a main tire
without having to go back to the shack for a "real" heavy-duty
compressor.
Cheers, Charles

I believe there is an article in the recent Soaring magazine about
building one. But Wal-mart ( good 'ole walmart) or Home depot sells
fully portable units that hold a half dozen gal. or so at 100 plus
pressure at a very resonable price. Hope that helps.

Try Campbell/Hausfield model #CC020300AV. I have a very similar model
for my sailplane and very general home use. Rechargable and can be used
as a power source if needed. I hope this helps.

My Favorite is my air tank. It will fill a few tires, doesn't need to be
plugged in
and can be carried anywhere as easily as a compressor/pump. You can also
fill
it up at a gas station or anywhere else with an air hose. Oh Yeah, they are
dirt cheap
at harbor freight if you don't already have one.
item #41712 5 gallon air tank
Have a great day

Yup. I picked up one (a 5 gallon unit) today at a local Ace Hardware
for just over $20. There are larger tanks available (9, 11, ...) but 5
at 75-100psi is likely more than sufficient for anything I'll need to do.

I concur. I have the same model, and it works very well. Cheap, too! |

I second the good bike pump. You never have to remember to fill it
back up and it takes less space than a tank. The good quality ones
from a bike shop, not from a discount store, work very well.
