well I learnt the hard way didn't I, i purchased a "heavy Duty 12V compressor" on ebay last month for $140 with postage. It took a while to arrive, no worries i can accept that.

Went for a drive where i did not need the compressor but packed it away incase. We took a quick run out to windjana gorge and back home.
I thought i better give this new pump a try out and when i open up the bag I found that the base plate had fallen off the bottom of the pump as all the rubber mounting grommets have sheared away. Pump still worked no problems.

I emailed the Auctionbrokers company i purchased it off and was informed it only had a 14day warranty period within which they would pay for the postage back to them, so much for a 12 month warranty that is written on the box.

Anyway beware of this if your buying on ebay, The 14 day warranty was no help to me as it took them 12 days to get it shipped to me = only 2 days of warranty.

I get a better warranty support on a $39 drill from the local hardware store.

Has anyone else who bought these chinese pumps and have the base plate come away, or had other problems with them?
