Need a new compressor for outdoor use. My 1998 $10 Western Auto unit is getting tired. Will use for camper tires, UTV tires & truck tires. Want to buy a quality unit.
Suggestions?

I bought a WEN 2287 6 Gallon compressor a couple of years ago to paint my trucks.It's a really good compressor with quick recovery.They no longer make that model,but something like that may be just what you might be looking for. https://www.walmart.com/ip/WEN-Prod...table-Horizontal-Air-Compressor/56110453

Are you talking 12v or 120v?

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I bought a Milwaukee because I heard great things and already have the batteries. It's been really impressive so far. Air Comp

Only looked at the Ridgid link. Claims to be fastest from flat to full, but no time stated. It doesn’t show CFM, which is the bane of small inflators. Would appreciate test report after you’ve given it a workout.

Would appreciate test report after you’ve given it a workout. Ridgid is good... Took four 225/75/15 trailer ties from 28-30 PSI to 70 in a few minutes (1-2 minutes each). Pulled down a 4.0 Ah battery from 4 bar to 3 bar. Not tested elsewhere... Have not tested the Makitas yet. The Puma is a different application (running nailers in the field). It is good so far... I may add a piggy back tank.

Thanks cash. That seems to be decent CFM.
I’ve used 12v tire inflators that took 10-15 minutes to get full.

Built out one of these on the bench last week... i.e. a test. Battery and 3 gallon pancake tank. Worked very well (I did upgrade the pressure switch to a higher cutoff). I am not sure if these are ARB clones (counterfeit)... or simply the same product from the same assembly line... BUT unbranded. I'll do a YouTube when I get the chance.

Don’t worry about what brand of power tool battery you have, you can buy adaptors that make them cross brand compatible for like 15$. They work good to
I have a RYOBI handheld air pump and use Dewalt batteries. Have a Milwaukee reciprocating saw using Dewalt batteries.
