Has anyone tried one of these little rechargeable air compressors? Any good?

It looks nice. I take a $60.00 dollar jumper box from o'reileys and a $50.00 dollar electric winch from wal mart to the track. The jumper box has a air compressor and enough 12 volts to connect to the winch and beleive it or not this cheap winch will drag my car onto the trailor without grunting using the jumper box for power.

I had forgot about those combo light/air compressor/jump start things. That might be pretty handy as well. We need something for the girls to use at the greenhouse for airing up cart tires. That might be a good idea.

I also was looking at that unit off the RJ website John. It would be very handy in the lanes. I'll bet you could make friends real quick.

Probably would - problem is it looks like something built by Daewoo, I'd buy it in a heart beat if it was a Milwaukee, Dewalt or even Craftsman.

Then it wouldn't be $50 would it? :lol:

Beyond, don't your trailer your car anyway? I would look into a small real compressor first, even one that hooks up to the truck battery would probably last longer. Remember you get what you pay for.
I like buying good tools or equipment so I only buy it once.

I run nitrogen in the Nova, I've got a tank in the trailer. I was actually looking for one of these things for use at our Greenhouse for airing up hand carts. They do look like they would be real handy to use in the staging lanes too.
