Max Air Compressors

Where's the ARB made?? The same o/s country as the El Cheapo's or somewhere else?

I'm in the market for a compressor and the deciding factor for me will be the units specs not the colour nor a badge.

Its not only the El Crappos that fail, others such as ARB do as well, but you have to look at the circumstances in which the unit was used/ abused, how/where it was stored, how old was it.

Will concede that in most cases you do get what you pay for but shelling out $$$ for a unit sold thru a 4x4 shop that has the same specs as a unit sold elsewhere is foolishness.

It seems like 4 wheel driving is just like the marine game, a licence to print money.

it could be made in some shonky O/S country, but in a good factory...

ARB have Good QC, with ISO specs on a lot of their things.

Got my arb fitted today under the drivers seat on my GQ, bleep in fantastic.

Buy 2 elcheapos or one quality unit, up to you.
PS with arb compressor you can run an air tank fairly easily.

I'm pretty sure the ARB compressor is made by ARB down in Melbourne.

Bought the Blue Tounge II 2 months back and very happy with performance. Done a fair bit of sand driving at Stockton Beach. Deflated the tyres to 15psi and got back to on-road pressure (29psi for Pajero NM) within 2 minutes. Stinking hot day as well!. Paid $420 with a pretty good gauge bundled in.
