I had these made a while back. They are unbranded, but I worked with the factory to actually get them improved and putting out the power that was claimed.
These are made on the same line as:
1: ARB
2: Viair
3: Masterflow
4: Superflow
5: Almost every other 12V compressor on the planet under $600.
They feature twin cylinders, a crank I had them adjust and maker out of better material, better (and genuine) Teflon seals, better lubrication, and a number of other incidental improvements.
The accessories kind of suck, because that wasn't the point of the test shipment. It's the same stuff you'll see on other units, and the bag is just as flimsy. You'll probably break the zippers in a week, but it does actually hold everything. They all work well, they're just obviously cheap stuff off the rack.
Since I never was able to finish up the project, I didn't specify industrial fittings. I was halfway through designing a new part when I had to go somewhere. As such, they use Nitto fittings. Be aware of that. Unless you adapt a hose, you're not going to just plug these into a tank. The fittings are just as good, they're just not American standard.
That said, these are fine for air tanks, but you'll need to do your plumbing and make sure it's regulated and relieved. These things have some juice behind them.
It's not an Oasis, and it's not a Powertank, but it's a $200 compressor (once I smoothed them out a bit more) with no branding for $20. You've seen the parts before, but this time they do what's printed on the box; for a given value of box.
So, how well do they work? I use them all the time. They're fast, quiet, and cool. That's the real reason I wanted two pistons; temperature in hot weather. That's pretty much all there is to say.
I have seven currently, and I may offer them for sale elsewhere in a week or so. You're not going to do any better for sixty bucks and shipping. The pictured unit is the one I use most often, and one I left outside, kicked around, and generally abused a bit just to make sure it was solid. Another was disassembled and the parts were destructively tested.
Chinese wiring, but aside from a thicker gauge I didn't get around to improving their connections too much. Six were tested throughly, with no failures.
Will yours fail? Probably not, but if it does, it'll be a connection that's easy to reach.
Cheers,
Kennith
