Great air tank but overpriced
This is a very well made 5 gallon air tank but gave it three stars due to it's price. Now wish I had bought the 7 gallon one at Walmart or 10 gallon at Lowes for a lot less money. What drew my attention was the higher pressure rating 135 vs 125 psi for the others. That's extra margin of safety and more stored air. The tank was boxed as well as an expensive power tool and construction is excellent, no complaints there. One complaint is that it is designed to fill tires, balls, etc with an air chuck. I was imagining having a port for tapping other things like an air spigot for blowing, running my nail gun or a little bit of paint spraying with low cfm hobby type spray gun.

As a tire inflator, it's wonderful to have and use. Very convenient and no dragging the air hose and cranking up the stationary compressor. Will be modifying the manifold to add an extra port but am disappointed especially at the price of this tank.

Not bad, not good
First off, before you order this, go to Home Depot, Lowes and/or Harbor Freight and see if you can get a similar item at one of those stores for less money. I could of saved about $8 (plus shipping costs) if I'd done that.

As for this particular item, it's not bad for a first air tank. It's geared towards having a portable air system so you can fill tires when not near a gas station, but I'm looking at using it for airbrushing my model kits.

Now, I know next to nothing about air tanks, but I think it's rather odd that mine's losing pressure. Not sure why... I'm using sealant tape on all the valves, everything is tightly sealed, and I have the pressure release locked down, but even so, mine's losing pressure at a rate of about 3 PSI an hour. Also, on the second day, the plastic twist-knob split, making it very likely that it'll break off soon. It's still usable so long as I don't twist it too hard one direction or another, but I'll be returning the tank...
good product
this tank is handy for all your air up needs great to use on your motorcycle or car so you don't ahve to drive to the gas station you can fill your tires when they are cold the correct way to do this
