If you are using the $10 off email use the guest checkout option with that email address and you have the option after ordering if you want to create an account or not.

Pulled the plug and ordered one. Was looking for a mini compressor and at $50.29 tax in it's tough to beat!

Guess most buying it for tires, which sounds about right just to avoid the gas station. What about inflating a mattress or getting rid of dust bunnies from a computer?

My small compressor sucks for tires honestly. It was like night and day when moving up to a 20 gal.

Not really buying it only for tires though, even if it sucks as long as it works on the off chance i need to inflate a tire that's good enough. Hoping it can be used for other things like cleaning a PC as well.

Just be careful on the PC...the air pressure can be quite high so it could cause some damage to the exposed components in some cases

And these things are LOUD. I might replace my existing heavy one to one with "quiet technology" in the future. The benefits to the pancake compressors are their lightweight and low cost.

yeah it'll work for tires if need be. Just takes a while to fill them. at least mine does, where as my 20 gal doesn't even kick in to top up all four tires. It's just a time thing. the little ones work well for things like air nailers and staplers. You just won't be able to operate things like die grinders or sanders.

It's amazing. They go on sale regularily.

How long would it take to fill one tire (approximately) on something small like this? I'm only topping up for the most part so it'll be filling 5-10psi hopefully it can do a tire under a min?

I checked my order and label was created for UPS.

Yes. If your hobby is airbrushing doll-house builds .)

oh yeah it won't take that long to top up one tire. I'm using a Campbell Haus anyway. I think my tank might be smaller than this one. For 50 dollars you can't really go wrong. I'm almost tempted to pick one up and get rid of my other little one. Also my 20 gal (inheritance from Grandfather) just blew up the other day. Flywheel setscrew came lose and it flew off the motor shaft and bent the piston connecting rod. Older 2.5HP craftsman. I think im SOL on finding parts. Sorry went off topic.

EDIT: my campbell is also a 3 gal. 100 psi. so my information is accurate.

I need one for blowing out in ground sprinkler lines and a pool. Would this be sufficient?

Yeah, it was on sale not to long ago on newegg. This is still cheaper at $50 delivered. Will give it a try and return if it doesn't work for my needs and get the datavac on next sale.
