After about 7-8 years of use, my trusty MV50 compressor died yesterday :(

Old Craftsman here at our newly bought place, a 100-ish (125??) gal @ my Dad's, and a 150 at the shop, all 3 are Craftsman, not by choice, just price b/c they're 110v.
As soon as we switch out our recalled electric box in the garage and run my new 220v outlet out there I'll likely be going with this IR model since I get a good price through Costco. having to drive to the shop to break a tack'd chassis nut loose today was stupid and unexpected. Having a good compressor and good air tools solves so much.

I was talking about a 12v compressor to keep in my truck, but thanks for the tip
About a week ago I ordered one from Overland Warehouse's closing sale. Not sure how good they are, but for $30, I figured it was worth a try. Shipping was a bit higher than I would have expected, but maybe that is because of the hitch recovery point I ordered.
I've been wrenching and doing yardwork all day. My excuse, sorry. I meant to edit it when I realized it after replying. It's just I got tied up trying to chase Lil'One down and grab dinner...Quote:

Dan got lucky and caught Andreis' going out of biz sale, I missed out big time so I've been looking at the CKMA's from ARB lately. Never tried to run one on continuous duty so i am curious to see what people are using now.
Still have a few of them things, we wereusing them at work and the guys broke them so I cannibalized them and have 2 working ones.
The things are really simple, if anything you probably just need a new relay. if you have the space and dont mind spending the cash (find it cheaper elsewhere)we got these at work: http://www.awdirect.com/12-volt-dc-a...r-compressors/ I can pump up a flat tire from 0-40 psi in about 30 secs.
Search noob! :laugh:Quote:

I moved on to the mv90 after i got the 35 inch tires. So far so good...
I had that MV50 or what ever its called, I got one back a few years ago when they was $25, I bought 2 and sold one for what I paid for it.
I used mine twice, and it died, lol they buddy I sold the other too, he is still using his.
I have since moved to a ARB CKMA12 http://store.arbusa.com/ARB-On-Board...2-P3572C9.aspx
with a 2Gal. tank, I did upgrade the pressure switch to a 90/120
