Freedom8 Shoebox Compressor

[luke]

So when was the Freedom8 released?
Anyone here use one?

[knownothingmags]

they have been out since OCT 12' i think
i think iirc they are made to order?

[AGD]

Yes we have had them out for a while now and we are selling more than we expected. Paintballers generally don't buy our compressors though.

With all of my nearest shops closed now, I would be screwed without my Shoebox.

[Dayspring]

I'm probably going to have to get one for when I move. Have NO idea where the nearest store is and going out to the field is not an option every time I need air.

I plan on picking up one of the Freedom8 units, I could really use it for R&D on the new stuff I'm working on...

Quick math. Generous variables: 30 minutes one way = 40 mile round trip. Vehicle averages 20mpg. Gas is $3.50 per gallon. Air refill on one tank costs $3.00. That's $10 to fill your tank, total. So, after eliminating 40 times in a year of going there to fill your tank, your Shoebox has paid for itself.

Oh yeah, and eliminating all those "I tried to test it but I only had 300 psi in my tank" or "I'd make a quick shooting vid but I'm out of air" posts = priceless

The Shoebox will still have residual value no matter what you do with it so assume you could sell it at any time for 25% of it's price. Your payback would actually be much faster.

Lol around my parts a fill is 8 bucks and have been quoted to fill my scuba 20 bucks.I may buy the 650 shoebox by the end of the year.just last weekend I filled my tank for 8 bucks and was doing a test on my mag and whoosh my 8 bucks was gone in about 2 seconds after I just drove 35 minutes for the fill.Buying a shoebox will be an investment for me.:-) :-)

If I didn't have access to a 5k psi compressor any time I wanted, within a 25 minute drive, for free, I'd have one of these in my shop already.

Still thinking about one just to cut out the 25 minute drive. Though, it's not really been a problem.

Not to be rubbing it in anybodys face or anything but around where I play, both my local field and largest local pro shop have teamed up and for $10 I get unlimited 24/7 4500psi air fills for a year. I feel like I am very well off with this deal
