Super !!! thank you !!!

[@freeforester1717]

Great find! 👍🏻

Thanks. I'm very happy with the compressor so far, but it will take a couple of years of regular use to truly know if it's durable. Relja

You can improve these little compressors by replacing the short power cord. If the current cord is 16 AWG, buy a 10' or 15' extension cord in 14 AWG (always go larger in wire gauge when adding length). Cut off the receptacle end and strip back the insulation. Remove the original cord and install the longer one on the compressor. You may need to use crimp on ring terminals.

I have STANLEY DST 100/8/6 which is also very silent, only 59dB(A), really doesn't bother me being right next to it very similar specs...105 liters per minute and max 8 bar and 6 liter tank....it's oil-free and quite portable (14Kg) and was pretty cheap at 160 Eur I use it mostly for cleaning, drying etc (not really bike related jobs)....have a similar coiled thin hose and a pistol I googled the model you have and you can actually buy it in germany for 129 EUR so surprised how cheap it is, it looks a bit more professional than mine but mine is more compact (similar size but flat not tall) which is good for me as I live in appartment and can put it easily in the closet and it doesn't take much space also really cool small gadget I got is Karcher K Mini (1.600-054.0), super tiny pressure washer but same power as Karcher K2

What do you consider "good" music?

What pressure do you usually inflate tubless?

A long lasting, hard working motor or engine requires oil lubrication, air compressing pistons as well. Don't allow yourself to be mislead and dumbed down.

[@BikeGremlinUS]

For heavy duty use it makes sense to use the oil-lubricated comperssors. For shorter and occasional (i.e. light) use, if noise and bulk & weight are a concern, the oil-less stuff like the one shown here might be OK. Will know for sure in a few years' time, of course.

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

There is nothing misleading about these compressors. If you have a workshop that allows separating a compressor from the work area, sure. But for small shops these small "silent" compressors improve one's life. Don't be too narrow-minded about this stuff; everyone has different working requirements.

@@thedevilinthecircuit1414 The point is fair in terms of setting the realistic expectations - though I did try to convey that in the video as well.
