Powercat air compressors
Im looking to get a new air compressor for my iwata CR. I found this deal online. You get a gravity feed airbrush and air compressor with water trap, regulator and it works up to 60 psi. Does anyone have experience with this air compressor? Its only $70, seems to good to be true.
heres the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...2BSI%26otn%3D4

You can get an Iwata compressor for twice that, with air hose, regulator and water trap. Might just be worth the extra money....

Re: Powercat air compressors
These sets are on sale regularly here in Poland so the offer is probably legit.
However, I agree with Andy - if you can afford it, go for the Iwata compressor. I had one of these little things and a) it didn't last very long and, more importantly, b) the pressure is not very good and the airflow tends to "pulse" a little. Still a usable piece of equipment though.

Re: Powercat air compressors
I bought a great little 2 gallon compressor at Tractor Supply a few years ago for my airbrushing. At that time about $70 if I remember right. Still works great, no pulsing, water trap etc all included. Wally world has similar compressors too and you can use them for small projects around the house.
