Title: Compressor
Post by: MK1 on April 04, 2006, 07:33:59 PM
Any recommendations for a heavy duty 12V compressor?

I have had the car type from Halfords etc. in the past and they don't seem to last very long.

I have a compressor called, MF-1050 TSUNAMI, (it's the same as the mv50).


Very impressive for the price, and can pump up a 33" tyre from flat in a few mins (72 litres a minute).

Think you can only get them from the US, but still work out pretty cheap at around $50-$60.

Mark if you want to buy in the UK these are pretty good http://www.j33p.org/item_list.cfm?ID=43&desc= (http://www.j33p.org/item_list.cfm?ID=43&desc=) Mark at http://www.offroadmdg.co.uk/ (http://www.offroadmdg.co.uk/) usually has a couple in stock, he also has a new more powerful one with a double compressor.

Anyone know anything about T-Max? This one seems to be 2.5 CFM.

There is only one MF-1050 on ebay.com. When the postage, VAT etc. is added it is no cheaper than MDG. :shock:

Why would anyone pay £69.99 plus £11.99 P+P for a secondhand unit that can be UK sourced for £105 all in or imported for a little less?
