I was Doing a bit of research a while back on these - Follow the link below and I think you will find the supplier for all these types of products coming out of china.
China Supplier link
Now if that is cheap, it would depend on how good it is. But looks like a good unit.

I've bought several items (on several occasions) from that seller, and will have no hesitation buying from him again :)
(if/when he has what I want, at the right price;-))
His prices are usually very competitive, so I guess his ask on this item would be around the going rate (or a bit better;-)
If you're happy to pay the asking price, then I'm sure you'll be happy with the service from the seller...

Check out "4WD Action magazine" Issue 131 for full air compressor comparo.
Also on ebay is the Thumper I got it for an offer of $250. Its a BEAST.
But their a fair size.

I've bought 3 of 150L/min units on ebay from a place in
Melbourne that was importing them. I paid between $55 and $70 for each of them. Princess Trading or similar.
They are very good units. The alligator clips warm up with extended use, suggesting that upgrading the clips might be worthwhile.
If someone is selling them for $175 they are probably
clearing at least $120 a unit - nice work if you can get it.

I bought one from that company and I would advise that you NOT buy from them
The service is pathetic and if you have problem with it they are completely hopeless to deal with.
I ended up going direct to the distributor to have it replaced and they even said what a D***head the guy is.
Product has worked very
well since replacement (the first one did not work at all when received) and the distributor was extremely good to deal with.
BUT STAY AWAY FROM THAT COMPANY ON EBAY

Thanks for the replies, a mixed bag of advice. I think I will probably go the typhoon at this stage, just need to choose where from.
Cheers, Tim
