Don't think you can run air tool off any 12v compressor.

Also don't forget the ARB compressor has a small air tank built in for the lockers.

Bushranger Max-air, 50lpm @ 30psi (twice the speed of an ARB), RRP $390

Wait for Rays Outdoors to have a 20% off sale and get it for about $319 with a 5 year no fuss warranty.

Sounds like good value for money to me ...


Otherwise K-mart sells a beauty for $29.95, will pump ya up in about a week. :finger:

Don't be tight Jake. Leave your ARB for your lockers, and run a Clisby and tank for everything else. Clisby's are Australian made, no plastic parts, cranks run in oil, and about 60 ltr/min (compared to 23ltr/min ARB). You can also tap a line into your ARB locker tank with a valve so you can use the Clisby when your ARB lets you down.

there are a few different models of clisby.

it would help if you told us exactly what you were going to use the compressor for - if you want air tools, you'll more or less need an air cond compressor, if you just want to run lockers then a $30 k-mart compressor will do it.

the bushranger max air is a tops value all rounder.

hmm, the Oasis is quite capable of running air tools, is 12 volt, but at $700 US is a tad pricey:O

That looks like a truck comp with an electric motor attached, will it run an impact gun or does it need an air tank? :?:

OK for anyone in Adelaide Rays Outdoors on Morphett St in the city have got the Maxair back in stock. I've been waiting for a month now and have finally got one. :D

Total cost was only $291 - 20% off, plus they will give another 6.5% off that with a Rays Outdoors privilege card. The cards are free in store or available online from www.raysoutdoors.com.au .RRP for the Maxair is $390 so it is a huge discount. :D

One thing on the 5 year warranty though- it says " this does not cover fair wear and tear". So I'm guessing if it dies from wearing out due to being used a lot it's just bad luck....
