Twin cylinder compressor from Projecta

Funny - I have a single cylinder chinese unit which has had plenty of use.

The rubber feet did die early on, and were replaced by a piece of old rubber and decent bolts to hold it down.

Then last week, one side of the fuse holder connection broke off - the cable, alongside the solder. The fuse itself, though still working, was rather melted (the plastic part, that is)...

I am waiting to buy one of these dual cylinder ones too...

Thanks for replay. How heavy your usage? Have you tried to use it 30 min non-stop?

I also have BushRanger MaxAir for a year or so. I was planned to use it in permanent installation, but decide to go for Projecta one. Two reasons – Projecta much faster and I feel uneasy to not have redundancy at all in such vital thing as air. So plan been – permanently install and use Projecta and lug MaxAir as back-up. I have inspect Projecta’s air filters and find that although they share same housing as MaxAir element itself looks rather el-cheapo comparing to MaxAir where filter looks very well done. So I going to replace filter elements, rid off switch gear, upgrade receiving pipe to copper one with heatsink and bolt it permanently in left rear quarter.

Hey guys, where do you get these super-duper compressors?
They sound great.

I have got one from local independent car parts reseller for $195

Got one as a Xmas present last year, cost then $135 from Coventry Motors here in Perth. At the 4wd show the other week they were being flogged by Repco for $195 with a sign saying they were marked down from $300 + dollars. I've given mine a real hammering. One fault is the cheep and nasty hose valve clamp on the end of the hose that clamps onto the tyre valve. I swapped it for a screw on fitting I've got from my old compressor. Other than that an excellent unit. Oh yer swapped the bulky plastic container for the canvas bag my old compressor came in that's nowhere near as bulky and easier to stow the compressor in..

Those compressor gauges is separate story indeed! I can not get why they marked for 250 PSI while in reality I never need more then 40? Thus using very small part of beginning of the scale make those gauges in all compressors what I seen utterly useless. I never trust them and always carry proper one.
