I'm using the Bush Ranger Max Air III

Very little use but packs some punch, good digital gauge.

 ARB all the way. I bought a cheap double pumper from eBay and it fucking melted out the back of shark bay. What a cluster.  ARB hasn't let me down.

 I think Shark has answered your question.

I have had the same cheapy for about 15 years and I've been waiting for it to rattle itself to bits but the thing won't die.

Nowadays I always put a bit in each corner before trying to pump one all the way up.... It's got to die soon!

 I've had the same cheapy for 15 years too, however almost blew my tyre last trip to shark bay. Was inflating my tyres and seemed to take forever, noticed the gauge barely moving so thought I would double check the pressure with a spare gauge and the reading was 83psi....

 I never trust the gauge on my compressor.  Always double check with tyre gauge

 ARB all the way , just piss the hose and fitting off they are crap and get a standard hose from bunnings. ITM make a good inflator. Always use a seperate guage.

 Late reply admittedly but I have an XTM one. Paid 99 for it and the bag has fallen apart but the compressor works great.
