@altclyti Air may be free, but compressing it isn't. You need a compressor. When on the trail, getting enough volume means you need more than those 12V compressors and you should also be running an air tank. By using a co2 bottle you are carrying more than enough compressed gas to run air tools, fill tires, re-seat beads etc. Most OBA systems that can do the same require the engine to be running. With co2 you don't.. Of course your only carrying so much co2, so it does have its limits.

Why on earth would you use co2 to run yer airtools? That is dumb. What a waste of money. Have you heard? Air is free! Co2 isn't

@mrmeanr Co2 tanks are filled with LIQUID CO2 and are pressurized to about 1800 psi. The Regulator drops the pressure down to a more managable pressure.

[mrmeanr]

Looks to be 10lbs, and unless you're going to fill it with about 2000psi, that thing is worthless.

[40lowgear]

"Cheapo" is right. It looks like your regulator topped at 60 PSI. Wow!
