Fortress air compressor, 57 DB, 0.7 CFM review.

This air compressor is quite a bit more than the equally sized loud ones, about twice the price. But at least to me, it is worth the extra price to not go def from listening to the loud compressor all day.

Interesting. We've tried the little "emergency" air compressors and weren't impressed. This one looks pretty good for a small one.

[@extralock1045]

Yes, this works great! BUT you can't run it off the car cigarette lighter.

[@Lone_Wolf79]

Either way I like it

Here is an update on the air compressor. It is still working perfectly fine like a new.

[@SrsLe33]

I've bought so many tire inflator and they all break, I'm sick of wasting money I hope this will be the last one I buy for awhile

[@extralock1045]

It's rare when I have an air compressor break. I use them regularly for my job, usually for the nail gun.
But I've not yet used this compressor for that job. It should be fine. I don't use it a ton though. Just for filling tires. It's working great.
One thing to note, you can trip the breaker on the compressor if you unplug it, and plug it in all while it's running. But if you plug it in, and turn it on, then it's fine.
The breaker is super easy to un-trip. It's a big red button.

[@extralock1045]

But if it's just for tires, try to look into maybe a small Pittsburg one, like their yellow one. It's a very slow compressor, can only run for about 10 minutes, then it needs to sit for about 30. But for $6 it gets the job done, I've not had one break by following the cooling rules.
But even if it does break, it's only $6. It's powered off a 12V car outlet.

I love the mindless yapping honestly.

They sell shoes at best buy?

[@extralock1045]

I think it was Best Buy. I don't remember anymore. But they where on clearance. I guess they where getting rid of them for new products.

@@extralock1045 oh.. hey I was just curious have you ever used a db meter on this thing? Wondering how close it actually is to 58db

[@extralock1045]

I haven't, but I got a DB meter. How close should I hold it to the machine?

@@extralock1045 I usually stand about 2 feet I also hold it up right next to the machine to compare the two.

I did a test in this video for you. (:

Hard to watch dude. Best of luck in the future

Thanks! What suggestions do you have? This is the 3rd channel, so I don't put really any effort into it. But willing to improve some! (:
