Default Air Pump

I dropped my handheld air pump and destroyed it. Need a new one.
Sometimes getting things shipped to Alaska is a pain...plus I have no idea what may be the current latest and greatest.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
I'll be at BITW next week.
Thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob.

I got mine from Wal-Mart, around $12, they last around 5 years with the type of use we give them, I use a 3 cell LIPO but you could also use a two and it is best to solder a Multiplex connector.

I'll get this one next week - a bit expensive but will keep it for life. The only pump I found NOT made in China.

ARG-CCPROFI12V

Anyone knows where one can find this sold separately (dehydrator / water trap)?

Thanks, Tassos

Does anyone run nitrogen?
When my son was racing karts, I had a small N2 tank, 2000psi.
Inexpensive, perfectly dry, simple pressure regulator, seems like a good match for air retracts.

I started using the Ryobi air pump 20$ (no battery).. I picked up a nice LED light, and a small scroll blower, all using the same litihium battery packs..

(I went ahead and got the Drill, impact and yard blower as well.. gotta have tools ya know : .. got some extra batteries that way.

All available at Home Depot

For you guys running air pumps.. make sure you get a water trap from Todd or similar.. it will add years to your system to get dry air. One drop of oil each spring in the inlet.. that's all it takes if the air is dry
