From what I have read the Thomas air compressors have a good reputation?
What's the common wisdom? If this can be had for $150 let's say.. $175 shipped is it worth it to mount on the cruiser? :hhmm: Don't want to run air tools, just air op after wheeling, I have 265/70/17's and usually will need to air up from 15PSI to 35PSI min.

Specs:
Thomas Dry Running WOB-L Piston Compressor / Vacuum Pump Model # 327CDC40/12.
- Voltage: 12v DC
- Max. Flow - 1.12 cfm, 31.2 lpm
- Max. Pressure: 150 psi
- Max. Vacuum: 25 In. Hg
- Horsepower: 1/5
- Shipping Weight: 6 Lbs.
- Mounted to 1/2 Galon tank?

Further research tells me this is a 40% duty cycle pump?
 
All that and a 40% duty cycle suggests that it will take about 20 minutes to air up per tire. This is not much better than the pumps that plug into your cigarette lighter.
 
:lol: That sucks!! 20 min/tire..
So I guess scratch that idea.. Should know better than to look on junk-bay! :doh:
