The "good" 12V compressor at Costco for $48.99

I picked one up at my local costco a few weeks ago. First time out on the the trail, on the third tire a bunch of sparks started flying and then the power leads pulled right out of the unit. Blew the fuse and we didn't have a spare. The crimps they use on the power leads inside the unit are effin' cheap. You guys might consider crimping some real wire splices inside that unit. Word to the wise.

I took it back and applied the $50 to an ARB.
 
The ARB (standard compressor) is very reliable, however you will NEVER have the patience to wait for it to fill your tires, it simply does not have the juice. The Costco pump is much faster.
 
Ok, I was at costco tonight, and they have had these for a couple months, around $50-60. They had not been selling. I went there today, and they were priced at $19.99.

I didn't grab one yet, going back tomorrow, I wanted to make sure it was the same as mv50/1050.
 
Amazon.com has them for $5.00 its the old model Tsunami MF-1050. Great price on a good compressor.

wow! $5! unbeliveable. Even with the $10 shipping. Of course, it's a "new" seller apparently... Bit of caution needed?

anybody looked into the quick disconnect on those? Mine was a non-standard type that I'd like to convert.

Is this the same as the MV50? I just picked up another MV50 at Costco last night- I guess I'll be returning it since I just bought 3 of the Tsunamis for less than the 1 from Costco.

What do they say, "if it sounds too good to be true...."?

I see it there for $5 but obviously something is up. Those that buy it should keep us updated here.
 
I just got my shipping confirm from Amazon. I'll report back after I receive it.

I ordered the last 2. Worth the risk. I'll update when (if) they arrive. :cheers:
 
My order got canceled today. So if anyone wants to sell one let me know.

Mine too. Bummer. I hope it isn't a scam to get CC numbers. :mad:
