Flowmax Air Compressor
Posted: Fri Dec 23, 2005 7:22 pm
Scored myself a 'Flowmax' brand Air Compressor (sells for ~$89 at Big W). The only physical difference I can see between it and the Bushranger Max Air and T Max Taipan is that the air filter threads into the crank case rather than the head.
Considering most of these products are made in one factory in China and just badged differently for different end distributors I am assuming its either a copyright ripoff, or is actually made in the same factory.
Claims are 72l/m (free flow) and that is will pump up a 16" car tyre in 3 minutes.
I tested it this afternoon on the BFG's.
Let a tyre down to 15psi which is what I expect to use on soft sand, then pump it back up to 32psi.
Easily less than a minute!!! I was very impressed actually, considering the price it does a good quick job.
Comes with a coiled hose and a carry bag and is just $89 at Big W at the moment.
