rgallant Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Hi guys, I am looking to add a portable air compressor to my Pathfinder, one of those you hook up to the battery directly. But that I can can take out and pop into the car for those long trips. So far I am settling on one of these Q Industries MV50 SuperFlow Hi-Volume Air Compressor. Primary use is to inflate tires, while having air tools use would be nice I don't own any and have other things to spend money on. Any other suggestions or feedback would be helpful. I realize like all things you get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I have one of these, a portable Quick Air 2. Quick Air 2 both portable and hardmount units offer maximum flowrate of 2.18 CFM/Max.Pressure of 105 psi. They can inflate a 33" tire in approx. 5 minutes. It is a midline mini compressor and performs fairly reliably and well for the price. Here are a few general reviews that should help you compare... http://www.fourwheeler.com/techarticles/62758_12_volt_air_compressor_guide/index.html http://www.parksoffroad.com/prodreview/inflatortest/inflatormain.htm B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 As for the Q Industries MV50 SuperFlow Hi-Volume Air Compressor... http://www.amazon.com/Industries-MV50-SuperFlow-Hi-Compressor/dp/B000BM8RT8 Read this... http://www.parksoffroad.com/prodreview/inflatortest/mv50/mv50.htm It performs as well as the Quick Air 2 but at 1/5 or 1/4 the cost. Only question is how long it lasts. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgallant Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Thanks for the Info and links, I had not thought of filling a tank to use with some basic airtools so a a little more research is required. I will update this thread with any info I find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 i've been using this air compressor for a couple years now: Titan Air Compressor It's works really good, and sometimes Duncan puts them on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northernpathy Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 i've been using this air compressor for a couple years now: Titan Air Compressor It's works really good, and sometimes Duncan puts them on sale. Same here. I have it connected to my aux battery for power. Here it is connected to my air tank to power some of my air tools. Comes in pretty handy.

WOT Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 It says the Q Industries MV50 has a max working voltage of 13.7 Do you think that really matters?? Would be a bummer to not be able to use it with the car running and charging at 14.7 and have to have the car off to use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
