12v compressor for 4x4??

I had a few 'cheapies' before I bought a Blue Tongue (through Opposite Lock) - i have found it fantastic - never letting me down. It is in a plastic case so can be used anywhere (not attached to the vehicle). It certainly isnt the quickest compressor around, but I have found it good value for money for the amount of time I use it.... Just my thoughts...

Howdy,

ABR Sidewinder - good compressor, good price, good service. Check out their website

I have the Bushranger max air. List price is $396 but you can get it cheaper on ebay or haggling at 4wd shops.
Mine has never stopped or lost pressure in the 5-6 years I have had it and still comes tops in tests carried out by major 4wd magazines.

This could be a bit like tyres; everyone has their own opinion. Here's mine :)

I have a 'big red' and had many good years out of it. In the 4x4 magazine's it finishes in the top half for heating, draw etc.

One common pattern in these reviews is one simple thing. You get what you pay for. The expensive ones did not finish in the bottom half and the cheapies did not finish in the top half.

You couldn't go wrong with a lot of brands including what Opposite Lock, TJM and ARB sell. Don't let money be the only factor though or otherwise you will finish up with a compressor that will keep cutting out when it gets hot and won't last the distance.

Cheers,
