Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this Wilmar 5 gallon tank even though the other reviewers complained about the hose. I intended to immediately remove it, anyway, and install a quick-disconnect, such as I have on my air compressor. I did so, and it works fine.
The tank didn't hold air (100psi)the first night I had it. The next morning I found that it had a loose valve core, which is just like the type one finds in auto tire valve stems.(This is the point at which one fills t he tank with a tire-type air-filler attachment.) I had a valve core wrench, so didn't have to buy one, and tightened it. So much for the leak. Holds air fine, now.
So, I spent $30.16 for the tank (free shipping), installed a QD that I had on-hand, but maybe costs $5.00, and tightened the valve core (wrench costs maybe $1.50). $6.50 is still less than what shipping would have been.
So, not a bad investment for a set-up that works, and that I like and use.
(see my two photos above under "customer-provided photos." [words to that effect]).
