    If its an AGD product I'd have to have one but all night to fill one tank isn't really practical.
    I'd still use my 3000psi scuba tank on game day.

          I want one !!!!!!
          I work at a store and get free fills, but I would still love to be able to fill tanks at home for when I'm tinkering. It also sounds a lot better than having to use a bicycle style pump, unless your trying to burn some calories or something, lol.

            Could you fill a scuba tank in.. say a week? Seriously, I see an application there for the weekend baller.

                You can count me in... I might even by two if it were to ever exist... more importantly think about what this might do to paintball...

                The ability to run fully homegrown HPA!!! It would be a fantastic return to backwoods/home grown paintball again. I love my field don't get me wrong but put that air in my basement and we'll be seeing much more backyard paintball. If a small compressor can fill a 4500 (assuming 70ci range?) it should fill a 3000 PSI SCUBA tank... I mean pressure is pressure, and volume is time. It would take a whole lot longer (a week?) to fill a SCUBA tank but really any compressor capable of that kind of pressure would be fine. Now, assuming that it's very inexpensive you'd have to make sure you didn't overfill your 3k SCUBA tank... but thats a personal issue.

                Like I said, I'll take 2. AGD, if you want to bring paintball back to the good ol' days this could be a fantastic way to do it. At home HPA fills

                  That's what I was thinking. Even if it doesn't have electronic pressure (2k,3k,4.5k) and time controls (like running while you're not home), you could put it on an outlet timer.

                  Stack some of my spare regs up on the scuba tank and I have my weekend shop air. I usually don't get to play in the garage and on the field in the same weekend anyway.

                    I doubt TK would make this without some sort of safety device on it, and likely the ability to adjust to 3K as well

                      For sure. I'm just counting up the other ways I could use (justify) one. I have an old air brush compressor connected to a 5 gallon transport tank with an auto shutoff and unloader. It's a mess and less than 40 psi, but very useful sometimes. More uses means I can spend more money on a high pressure version.

                        Add me in, I'd take two.

                        3k Limiter would be nice but I'd be happy with anything. I hate when I'm down to 500PSI on the Scuba, projects to tinker with and no time to get it filled.

                          Yes. I'll take one. Limiting to 3k would be a bonus.

                            I'd definitely take one! I'm starting to tinker with my guns a lot more now and I'm going through a lot of air, and the shop is a little out of my way so I'd buy this simply out of convenience sake.

                            Once I finish my pnuemag I'll also be going through a lot of air dry firing so this would keep me going with that for a while...

                              Quiet, small and it'll take all night to fill




                              Now connect this to the flywheel of an ole hit or miss engine and viola!

                                Do those hand pumps actually work? I heard it takes a long time, but does work.
