Ive got an mv50 that ive had for a couple years. It replaced a horribly old and crappy coleman that i think id die of old age before it would inflate a 285/75. I've used to air up my tires, my rear airbags, and last week, my neighbors new inflatable kiddie castle. It was raining outside, and I had a 5 gallon tank inline, because my hoses werent long enough. The compressor ran for an hour straight, and finally thermal shut down. Its been fine since.

I was looking something better than the usual plastic crap and ended up getting the Viair 88P.
It was constructed well and worked well.
It seemed tough.
However, the pipe running through handle broke internally and its now useless.
I don't use these much. They spend all of their time riding in the back, getting bumped.
I even had this one in a Pelican case.
Disappointing.

The part isn't available from Viair, they are usually pretty good about that? Then again, it's ~1/2 the displacement of the MV50, so ?
