Fast , Big , 12volt DC Air compressor....

.............Been looking for a 12vdc powered air compressor ! So , I found this Q-Industries , MV-90 Heavy Duty model ! Best price was from.....
http://www.allthingsjeep.com
Indepth reviews for several models from here.......
http://www.8-lug.com/index.html

..................My final price was $146.99-5%=$139.64+$14.99=$154.63

..............Most places it sells for $199 or thereabouts ! Once you read the FULL set of reviews you will understand why it is a very worthy air compressor when you have a low tire out in the middle of nowhere Arizonia , lol ! , fordy

...............OK , I fixed the URl , and so , the reviews are under.....'Tech' , on page #3 ! , fordy

If you have an extra 90 seconds, to inflate a truck tire. HF, sells one for 24 bucks.

I got that one a while back. Last week I had a screw in a 17" pickup tire, hissing air. I pulled it out and shoved in a plug and had almost 40 psi left. It takes 70 psi to make the warning light go off, so I fired up the little compressor and got comfortable. It took maybe 20 minutes and the light went off. I let it run another 3 then packed up. I was 80 miles from civilization and was glad to have the thing.

I was considering getting one for the very same reason. The model the OP listed, seems pretty nice, but a bit pricey at $150.

This model get pretty good customer reviews.

FollowUP after Actual Trial.....

...................I just rece'ed the Air compressor , hooked it up and aired up 2-5'ver tires , one from 65psi up to 75psi , and the other from 60psi up to 75psi ! Both of these tires are G.Year Wrangler , 235\R75 16's and it took about 3 minutes or so for each tire . For a small , non tank air compressor this little devil really works , what impressed me the most was it didn't take all day too get the job done . The time factor is one reason I spent the $$$ that I did .
...................So , all things considered I'm very pleased with it's performance vs price . I have a larger Porter Rounds compressor with a 2 hp motor but it must be plugged into a 20 amp\120 volt circuit too make it run . , fordy
