Wanted to know what tire inflation tool all of you use. I installed my ARB compressor a couple of weeks ago and just had my chance to use it this past weekend at a wheeling trip. Compressor works great, but...I hate having to squat down for 1 1/2 minutes per tire holding the chuck to the valve and having to stop every little while to check the PSI with a gauge.

Does anyone make a clip-on tire chuck with a pressure gauge built in to see what PSI the tire is at so I won't have to squat for 8 minutes straight and continuing to pause every 20 seconds...

Thanks.

 

are we spoiled? I just have a cheap compressor that works

 

You could go with a bike pump, good upper body workout

 

HOME BREW CO2



CLIP ON HOME BREW DUAL HOSE 2 TIRES FILL IN 1MIN 40SEC 4 TIRES IN 5 MIN

 

Harbor freight has a clipon style with a gauge but you have to hold the trigger, costs $10-15. A velcro strap can take care of that though.

 

Dwikto... Cool,

I just received a 15 lb CO2 bottle last weekend complete with a head/valve. If you don't mind, I have a couple of questions:

1. Where did you find your regulator.? (Filling two tires at once would lead me to believe that it is a high flow regulator.)

2. What is the finish on your tank? I have a detonator yellow JK and was planning on finishing the tank in either yellow or black. I was going to see what a Line-X or Rhino-Lining dealer would charge. Or, maybe Dupli-Color is the way to go.

3. How do you secure your bottle in the JK? I was thinking about buying one of PowerTank's brackets... they are pretty well-built. (I also need some sort of a stand to keep the base a little more stable when the tank is sitting in the garage.)

4. Where do you get yours refilled? Are they pretty fair with the price?

Thanks

Has nothing to do with being spoiled.

But I think I can air up much faster than stopping and checking stopping and checking.

 

i mean can you really just go to harbor freight and pick up an air tank and us it? will a 15 pound tank inflate 4 35's from 18 to 30 pounds without trouble?

 

I'm not sure who the question was directed to, so I'll give you my opinion.

A CO2 tank must be rated for high pressure. I believe the tank is rated for 1,800 psi, although the pressure inside the tank for normal temperature and pressure is closer to 700 psi. CO2 is a liquid under pressure. As vapor is removed from the tank through the valve at the top, more liquid vaporizes until all of the CO2 has been vaporized. (Without weighing the cylinder it's hard to know how much CO2 you have in the tank. Even if there is just a little liquid in the tank, the pressure will still be about 700 psi. As soon as the last bit of liquid vaporizes the pressure will drop pretty quickly.)

In order to use CO2 for inflation, a tank designed for that purpose must be used. (Trying to fill a tank capable of low pressures would be a disaster with CO2.)

I hope that helps.

what model air compressor from harbor freight?
