Rather than having to always run my compressor to top up tire pressures, I like a portable tank. Fill it once and it gets several fills before needing to be pumped up again. The probelm with most available tanks is that they are cheaply made. This one is nicely finished and has nice components like a well-placed, nicely shaped handle. Best of all it does not leak. It has a shitoff for the air hose and so hod air indefinitrly. Hyundai HPT505 5-Gallon Inflation Tank
As usual, Amazon shipped the item quickly. The product specifications state it is rated to 100PSI, but the relief valve doesn't trigger at 125PSI, which is commonly the maximum pressure output of single stage compressors. So their specifications at 100PSI are probably very conservative.
I pumped up the tank to 119 PSI, and it held pressure over 48h without any apparent leaks.
The build quality is decent, as one might expect from the Hyundai brand. The on/off valve twist dial is plastic; I would have preferred brass. But it works fine.
I plan to put this in the back of the boat and fill up the beach toys very easily. Note that the included hose has only a schraeder valve for tires, but it looks like the whole assembly can be swapped easily.
I pumped this up to 95psi and tucked it under my desk for a week. When I checked, it was still at 95psi. Great!
Con: the attached hose doesn't have interchangeable anything so it takes some work to get everything working if you want to use it for anything other than inflating schrader valve tires. - Compressor Nailer - For Nail Guns - Campbell Hausfeld - Compressor'
