are you using a power in verter or something to power that compressor?

[lilgreenjeepyj]

How well does the compressor work? Will it handle the air rachet? Saw one just like it and wanted to put the tank under the jeep, and the pump under the hood.

Ditto. looks like some amps

[4x4mike]

I was looking at that tool kit for trail use. All those tools pull like 5.5-7 cfm. That little compressor most likely does not put out enough air to run them for long, at least not without pulling a lot of amps.

[rockraper]

ya i am using a power in verter. the air doesnt last long but long enough for a little use . then i just let if charge back up.

Looks like a '78/9 Bronco?

Why go to all that effort and take up all that interior space for an inferior setup? You should already have a York under the hood? And if not it's not hard to fit one.

As for those tool kits the die grinder and air ratchet might be half decent. The air hammer and impact are worthless IME

[rockraper]

i dont know why you would say that they are worthless .. they get the job done.
yes it is a 79 bronco

[TheBandit]

If you add a larger tank/reservoir, you can run your tools longer.

Looks good.

i have a 11gal tank in my garage .. this is just my tank for my car when i go wheeling so i dont have to drive with 7psi in my tires on my ride home.. the air kit was bought cus it was a good price and i wanted the air hammer and the dye grinder.

Wait until the air ratchet locks up and you have to bang it on the ground to get it to go again. This gets old very fast and leads to flying air ratchets :flipoff2:

[Kartracer55]

I dont think that compressor is going to run those tools. Even in a pinch.

If 'twere me, I would separate the components of the compressorand mount the tank in a remote spot, and the controls under the hood, hooked to a york. Take the motor and compressor and stick it on a shelf in your garage for later.

As for the air tools, if you are going to keep that set in the Bronc, throw out the bulky plastic case and put what you need in a canvas tool bag, then stuff it under the seat.

[rockraper]

i have a dimond plated steel tool box that i put in the back when i wheel.
like i said the tools dont stay in my bronco . they are used in my garage with my other air compressior.

in my short life so far i've learned one thing more than any other....you get what you pay for

AMEN!

[CanuckJeeper]

I've also learned that if a dealer tells you "you get what your pay for", you're gonna overpay for marginal quality.

AMEN!

I have the same compressor in my garage at the house. I use it for blowing up pool toys and the occasional flat on the lawn mower. I went out side the other day and the 315/75r/16 on my tow rig was flat. I found the culprit and plugged it. I pulled the hose over from the little compresor and it had around 135 psi in the tank. By the time I was done airing up this 35" tire i was tired of waiting on this thing to keep up. You could put your hand on the tank when I got done and it was very warm from working it to death on one tire. You will be dissapointed extremley if you try to use this thing on the trail
