Tsunami Master/Superflow air compressor?
Anybody ever used these compressors? They run about $70. Sometimes they can be bought on ebay for about $40. Usually sold at Pepboys.
I'm talking about the MF-1050 or MV50.

They have a 120psi working pressure and max 150psi restart. They recommend 15/30 minutes on/off. More than enough for what I plan on using them for. I have a small 5L tank/compressor that came with my train horns. Only 120 psi and takes about 1 minute just to fill that small tank from 90 to 120psi. I want to get a 3 gallon tank and know that this little compressor won't hold up.
I've never known anybody to use these and want to get some feedback before I buy them.

any 12V compressor is gonna have a hard time. i wont recommend one but there are a few out there that are worth the money... they are about 3 times as much as that one is though!
just get a regular shop compressor and mount it in the bed and then wire in the appropriate inverter and call it a day!

I have a 1200 watt inverter, basically can only do 10 amps (good enough for my electric pole saw and sawzall), not enough for a big compressor, never tried a pancake compressor though...
I was going to buy a 2200 watt converter so I could have real off-road air to refill my tires ... until I saw the price, I have paid less for "good" cars
imo, I think God Father Customs has the best prices on the best compressors (granted a Ricer store and catalog) if you wanted to look them up or get a Ricer magazine where they advertise.
