Well I finally pulled the trigger and got a new 12compressor on ebay. I've been using a tiny Hadley air horn compressor for several years and it takes for ever to air back up with it. The Puma 12 volt has a one gallon tank and the whole thing measures about 14X14X6 and weighs round 30 pounds. From what I've read it is the same unit as a Viair for twice the price and no tank.
After breaking it in (20 mins 0 load) I dumped the air out of one of my 285x75x17 BFG AT's down to 30 lbs and aired it back up to 65 in less than 40 seconds with a full tank. With an empty tank it took between 1 min and 1min 30 sec.
It comes without gator clips or hose. I used the hose from told unit and got a set of 10 gauge jumpers from Harbor Fright for 15 bucks. Cheaper than buying the cable and clips and making it myself. Cut it in half and spliced it onto the compressor and Voila!!
This thing gets very high marks from all that use it and the people I bought it from (Buzzard Gulch) are very nice.
