12v AIR Compressor -What is good

I need a new one

I am looking for a 12 volt air compressor that has clamp on terminals to a battery that is good for 100 PSI.
I don't want one that plugs into a 12 volt receptacle.
I also don't want an el cheapo like Wally world or Advance Auto sells.
I have gone through too many of them.

I would like to hear from people who have had one for about five years that has had lots of use.

Please don't respond if yours is only a few years old

    Have had the Viair permanent mounted in the rig for 5 year now - love it and Works great for cleaning dust and dirt as well as inflating floating inner tubes/mattress, rigs tires, toad and boat trailer tires, etc... Additionally installed an external 5 gallon holding tank and three regulated outlets. To get the rated 150psi the compressor will draw 25+ amps suggest you hard wire it rather than use clips on the battery.
