Review on 🔌 VIAIR 45040 450C Air Compressor Kit: Powerful Performance for Your Air Needs! by Jason Lee

Edit: Desert season has started and I was finally able to use this on my truck. Bleed down and back twice at 4265/75/r16 and it worked great. But be sure to warm up! Enough to burn my hand if I touched it for more than a second, but it never turned off, so it was clearly working as intended. It took about 1 minute for the air to go from 20psi to 32psi. At least some advice. If you're not hooking this up to a tank I would suggest adding a mechanical relief valve to the air line as this thing will work until it irretrievably breaks down if you set it up so it doesn't stay fully open all the time (which I want to stress it would be the fault of the person who installed it, not the product itself) --------- ------ The desert season hasn't started yet, so I'll have to go back and change this review if I I use it to deflate my real truck tires with a target of 20psi, but I've had the chance to use this on a few occasions.1. Bicycle tires inflate perfectly.2. Aired out my friend's truck tires as they were a little low. I used it to aerate a vessel I had built for camp pressurized water. In all three cases, this compressor pivoted. As is, I installed it in my Tacoma's front bumper where the winch was supposed to be. I used 5ft AWG 8 line wire to a 20/40 amp relay connected to a 25 amp fuse and just grounded it to where my light strip is mounted without having to extend the factory negative wire. Got an OEM center console switch to start the relay and hooked it up to a 3 amp fuse. Yes, all of these must be purchased separately. VIAIR can't predict how you'll install it, so don't blame them for being cheap. In short, so far I am more than satisfied with this compressor. It heats up, but not much, handles the load well. Let's see how it performs in the desert where I really need it to function and if it will hold up to the dirt and water I'm going to throw at it in the fall/winter.
