- 125 maximum psi

- Hi-viz color for added visibility
The tank didn't hold air (100psi)the first night I had it. The next morning I found that it had a loose valve core, which is just like the type one finds in auto tire valve stems.(This is the point at which one fills the tank with a tire-type air-filler attachment.) I had a valve core wrench, so didn't have to buy one, and tightened it. So much for the leak. Holds air fine, now.
So, I spent $30.16 for the tank (free shipping), installed a QD that I had on-hand, but maybe costs $5.00, and tightened the valve core (wrench costs maybe $1.50). $6.50 is still less than what shipping would have been.
So, not a bad investment for a set-up that works, and that I like and use.

When I tried to fill the tank for the first time, it would not accept any air. I took the valve apart and was very surprised to see there was no hole for the air to enter the tank; it was a sealed piece of pipe with a schrader valve at one end. A friend with a drill press cut a hole for me so at least it now works. Since this was obviously a missed step in the machining process, it makes me wonder how many of these defective tanks are out there ...I would not recommend this product to anyone.The tank works like it should except for the pressure gauge. It sticks constantly. I expected more even though it was not expensive.
