A key part of the answer is to have a reasonable expectation of what you can
do with it.
I use the one I bought many years ago at Kmart or Walmart (can't remember) all
the time to top off tires that I can't stretch my hose to.
It is getting old and I don't religiously flip it over and drain any
condensate out so I don't think I would like to test max pressure on it.
When I was younger and slightly less wiser I used a converted freon tank.
Now some of the jump boxes with built in cheap compressors might make more
sense...

Apologies if this is a repost, I never saw my original.
I'm looking for get a friend a 5 gal portable air tank. I have a
Campbell-Hausfeld but their website doesn't list them anymore. Are the
Sears $30 tanks good or is there something known to be better? All the
reviews for various ones on Amazon and Sears says the same thing- some
love them, some think they're cheap crap.
thanks,
jim
