Mini Compressor Update :)

Well, forget the CFM, think of the durability.

Those little pocket compressors have no shutoff, and will run 100%. They also have a lifetime measured in minutes, rather than hours, or preferably days.

I've owned a couple of them. Both died, just from filling car tires. Much less providing 100psi input for a pump.

They wouldn't be suitable. However, for $60-80 you can pick up a real compressor. I got a 10 gallon B&S for $90 at home depot. And that's not the cheapest you can do.

If we get a first run QC Shoebox Compressor, after the evaluation period can we send the compressor back to be retrofitted with all the changes (if any) that are going to go into the mass production run?

Edit:
Or if it is simple enough, perhaps we can recieve a kit to swap out anything that is different?

That happened with the Level 5 Mags, right? They were all (or almost all) retrofitted to Level 7.

You are right about the durabillity. I haven't thought about it before. As for another compressor, I've found better ones for around $250, nothing in the $90 price range (I live in Brazil). Most of them are sold for painting purposes (with the painting pistol, you know?).

I'm talking about things like this:

This one makes 243 liters per minute with up to 120 psi.

Thanks for the input, anyways. I'll take it into consideration.

I actually would be curious to know how many of AOers are actually going to put the $$ down
Who wants to start a list?

[joeyt]

tom, are you still planning on making 3000 psi compressors too? is the initial run all 4500 psi?

thanks

Alright then. Just to make it clear: this is not the official pre-ordering for the shoebox but just a list to know roughly how many are interested in the first run with actual money in their hand.
