Review on πŸ”΄ Torin BIG RED T88011 Portable Horizontal Air Tank - 11 Gallon Capacity, Red, with 50" Hose by Philip Lindsey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Another manufacturer made a cheap plastic part

The tank arrived in perfect condition but the plastic control knob is cracked and slides freely on the shaft. It looks like the cheap plastic has shrunk. So far, the manufacturer has supported its product and has promised to supply me with a replacement part. I will update this review when I have a working part. on Revain for fifty bucks. Otherwise good tank. I managed to blow up my computers. You need a nozzle; only comes with an air cartridge. Added: The included hose has a permanent cartridge. It is only suitable for inflating tires. I threw it away. So take your $20 to your local Chinese parts store (HF) and buy a set of quick release adapters, some real rubber hose and some nozzles. I followed the other poster's advice and also built a two-way valve. This allows me to fill the tank straight from my air compressor hose. This will give you a really nice setup, with some work on your part. Don't forget Teflon tape. Update: Gave another star for excellent customer support. Replaced my faulty part and then some others. If you are reading this please let me know: 1) Leave this product as is for a budget option. Simply replace the plastic steering wheel with a metal steering wheel. It will be cheaper in the long run. 2) Give those of us who want a little bit more the opportunity to upgrade. Quick couplers, rubber hose and multiple nozzles. We want to give you our money! 3) An adapter for quick refueling wouldn't hurt either, and an additional winning item. Male QD - Ball Valve - Male QD. Works fantastic.
