Wilmar W10011 11 Gallon Portable Air Tank

Wilmar W10011 11 Gallon Portable Air Tank
  • Light weight, portable with handle for easy transport
  • Safety pressure bypass valve with manual override
  • On/off air adjustment dial
  • Industrial grade air hose with standard tire air chuck

This is a simple product that should work as expected. The air chuck is faulty and without some luck you will not be able to get air out of tank and into any tire. With extreme pressure and me fiddling with it while sitting on the ground I can get a slow discharge into a tire if at all. I will try to replace the chuck on my own or look at another brand. I once had another one and had the same issue with one I bougth at Lowes. I have had this one too long to return and that would be expensive as faily big and very heavy.

Air chuck does not work with any valve stem on any tire I tried it on. Air will come out when you push with any small object, but will not come out when fitted over a standard valve stem.

I am frequently picking up road debris with my trailer tires and this nearly left me stranded yesterday. Don't wait until you need it to find out it is defective.

I replaced an expired 5 gallon portable air tank with this Wilmar 11 gallon model, and everything seems to work as intended. I did not try using the included air hose and chuck, since I switched over a coiled air hose and custom made chuck from the old tank. However, the stock air hose and chuck appear to be sufficient for many users. The price (about $40) and service were excellent, with prompt delivery. I would recommend getting this 11 gallon tank over a smaller capacity tank which can cost nearly as much.

Received the item faster than expected and was professionally packed. The only complaint I have is that the needle valve to the tank needed to be tightened in order for it to hold air. It was easily remedied by tightening the needle valve.

Ordered this through ToolTopia, which shipped very quickly. Product arrived with no problems, and looks to be very well made. I have used it a few times so far and I am happy with my purchase. I purchased this at a price cheaper than some 5 gallon air tanks.

Ingersoll-Rand P244-610 1/2'' Female NPT Regulator NEW

Ingersoll-Rand P244-610 1/2'' Female NPT Regulator NEW
  • 1 Piece

I have a large 7.5 HP Emax 2-stage compressor and a smaller 3 HP 2-stage compressor. I have been using the ARO series of regulators and filters with the larger unit for some years, and needed a new filter regulator for the smaller unit. Having had good experiences with the Ingersoll Rand ARO regulators and filters at the stations on my larger compressor, I was ready to buy another Ingersoll Rand for the smaller compressor.

Since my smaller compressor is used little in the garage on my home, and is a 60 gallon vertical unit, I decided a single station at the tank outlet was sufficient. I also decided a large coalescing filter wasn't needed, like the large expensive one I have on my 7.5 HP Emax, but filtered air is always a must. The P244-610 was just made to order for my use on this 3 HP compressor almost!

The ratings for airflow and PSI requirements, easy pressure adjustments, and filtering were also just what I needed and wanted. The easy read color coded gauge, and the nice metal filter with its sight glass, were all icing on the cake. The 175 PSI rating was also a plus over other filter regulators. But, the modular design is even better.

The color coded gauge is also adjustable, under the gauge cover, for quick pressure viewing. I keep the colors adjusted on mine for easy reading with no more than a quick glance to note 60 or 90 PSI as the numbers and divisions on the gauge are small.

Note: The part number you will receive is P39344-610. The gauge is mounted into the modular housing by two screws, and is not the older 1/4" NPT screw-in gauge model. This is the IR ARO 2000 modular series of gauges.

The P244-610 comes set up with its air input to the left of the gauge and the output on the right. That works out fine if you have your tank outlet fitting on the right of your tank, but mine are on the left of my air reciever setup which would have the gauge facing the rear of my compressor. Thanks to the modular design, that's no problem. I simple unscrewed the face of the gauge, removed two Phillips head screws, and removed the gauge. I also removed the cover plate on the opposite side. Keeping the two rubber air seals in place, I then reversed the position of the plate and gauge, and re-assembled the regulator. The regulator housing is also made so the filter can be replaced 180 degrees opposite of the factory configuration. This gave me the inlet on the side I needed, kept my gauge facing forward, and put the bowl sight tube toward the front. All you lose from the frontal view are the painted ARO emblem, and the "lock" and "un-lock filter emblems, on the housing. The filter regulator performs just as well in either configuration and mine looks great! It wouldn't have been so great with the gauge and sight glass facing the rear of my compressor, but Ingersoll Rand has covered that problem with the well thought out modular design.

The bowl bleed works easily with a light touch from the front and seals instantly when released, and the metal bowl is easily removed and replaced with the pressure cut off to the P244-610 and relieved from the bowl. The bowl locks in place while pressurized.

My entire change to the unit, and installing it to my compressor with thread tape, took only a few minutes and I didn't have a single leak!

Since I use a 3/8 industrial quick connect to a single rubber hose on this compressor, it now looks much neater using the compact design of the P244-610. A gate valve cuts the pressure off to the filter regulator, and the whole assembly is close to the side of the tank and easily accessible. This also makes for a sturdy mounting of the sturdy P244-610 unit. I was previously using a very bulky DevilBiss filter regulator that stuck out much further from the side of my tank. The Ingersoll Rand P244-610 makes the DevilBiss look like a very bulky and weak antique by comparison. It's also much easier and faster to service than the DevilBiss. I expect this new P244-610 will last a long time just like my other Ingersoll Rand ARO regulators and filters.

Rated for a maximum 175 PSI connection with a maximum setting of 140 PSI air regulation, this is a very flexible unit that can be used in numerous air pressure line configurations. The compact size is roughly 3-inches x 11-inches.

Only had it for a week so far it has worked without any issues. It did Have a little hiss at the bowl but I just re-greased the seal and it stopped. I would recommend if you need one with range if offers.

Metro Vacuum 12-IDA32 Magic Air 12-Volt Inflator/Deflator

Metro Vacuum 12-IDA32 Magic Air 12-Volt Inflator/Deflator
  • All steel construction
  • weather resistant, powder coat finish
  • Compact, portable and easy to use
  • Includes power unit with large and small-valve adapter nozzle
  • 1 Year limited warranty; Made In USA

My friends and I have been using this product for many years to inflate our whitewater rafts. It works well, and I like that I can use it to deflate the rafts as well as inflate. This is a big plus at river take-outs when we need to deflate the boats as quickly and completely as possible to get them loaded on the trailer. This product WILL NOT completely inflate a raft, because it isn't designed to. This is a high volume, low pressure inflator. It will quickly get your raft to about 60-70%, then you must use a high pressure pump to top it off. I'm not sure that folks understand that when they buy it. They think it's not working right when it doesn't get their inflatable item rock hard. I also like that this product comes in either a 12-volt model and a battery clamp model. I prefer the 12-volt model for ease of use in the front and rear cargo area outlets of my SUV. The only reason I have to buy a new "orange torpedo" every few years is that people aren't careful, and they keep stepping on/ driving over the plug end.

I purchased this product hoping to use it to inflate water tubes and towables for tubing with our bowrider boat. This inflator does not have the power to inflate a even a one person towable tube. I had to go back to my hand pump to do the job. It also doesn't come with any adaptors so you need to mail order the adaptors for $4.50 plus $5 S&H just to be able to use the product.

I bought this to air up a lake float. It seems to be solidly built but has a weak fan motor. It is not good for anything that needs pressure.

I purchased this item and it only ran for enough time to fill up two rubber rafts, a total time of about 2 hours then the motor started making a funny noise and then the unit totally quit working. I would not suggest buying this item, it really gets HOT after only a few minutes of running time and is really LOUD. Save your money and purchase another inflator/deflator.

I used Magic Airs 12 years ago when I was a raft guide. I switched to LVL a number of years ago because they had a little more volumne. But the LVL's seem more delicate-not a good thing on the landing.

When I got this one, it didn't put out the volumne that I remembered, so I cut off the cigarette lighter plug, put on clips, and attach right to the battery. That increases the output. I don't know what that's all about. I had never seen one with the cigarette lighter plug before. I see now they make them both ways.

I would buy one again if I was shopping for an inflator.
