Decision On Air Compressor
Well after a couple of days of intensive research, and a couple of weeks just looking. I have decided on the Kobalt air compressor Seems to be the best bang for the $ at this stage. Finding con...

Well, the Kobalt performed great in airing MH tires from a low of 92 to 100psi. Set the tank pressure at 100psi. Fast recovery started at 125psi, cutout at 155psi.
The accuracy of the psi readings on the Kobalt gauge and the tpms monitor was right on. One tire had a one pound difference at the cold pressure reading.
The accessory tools worked fine. No leaks. The upgrade 50' rubber air hose is nice, easy to handle and rolls back easily.
The Kobalt and accessory tools fit and work great from the smaller bay. The compressor at about 38 pounds does not have to be moved in order to air up the MH or auto tires. All gauge settings, etc. are easily accessible. The height of the Kobalt is about 1'.
I already had one quality air chuck, one came with the accessory kit, and I purchased one additional Kobalt Air chuck with glass gauge. The Kobalt gauge worked great with easy access to the front tire valve stems. The air chuck that came with the accessory kit worked with easy access to the inner dual tires. The original air chuck that I already had worked easily with the outer dual tire stems.
The electric socket is just above the bay, no extension cord is necessary.
One thing I learned is that I am going to have the valve stems replaced with special valve stems to make it easier to remove and re-install tpms sensors.
The current tpms sensors on the inside dual tires can be removed with a little more effort than I want to have to use.
The front tire sensor removal and re-install is a breeze.
The outer dual sensor removal and re-install is not too difficult.
Overall first impression is that the research paid off. I am completely satisfied with the Kobalt Air Compressor. If it maintains current performance over the long haul; what more can you ask for.
Glad I went with the Kobalt, with a little time and effort, it may just air up the Goodyear Blimp.
Now if it would only chill the wine. Never mind, the pink fridge in the other bay has that job.
