Testor Compressor
The small blue testor air compressors, are they any good? I got an airbrush for xmas and it comes w/ the cans of air and I see that you piss through those pretty quickly. I was thinking of picking one of these up to use instead. are they a waste of money or will they do the trick?
I have a badger 200 airbrush if that helps...pretty basic

Here's the stats on it. I can get it for about $66 at AC Moore w/ the 40% off coupon.
The new Testor Blue mini-compressor provides a dependable supply of air with a minimum of noise. The compact body features a striking translucent blue color case, convenient on-off switch and rubber feet.
Features
Oilless Diaphragm
Fan Cooling
110/115v
Max Pressure 40lb
6 ft Power Cord
1/4 NPS Air Hose Fitting

Does it have a tank? or does it run all the time. tanks are nice cuz once they fill the compressor shuts off , it looks like it would run all the time.
40psi is plenty to paint plugs  |

I'm pretty sure it just runs. At $11 for a can of air this will pay for itself in no time.

Very true, you wont really need more than 20-25 psi for plugs. Maybe some other guys will chime in and let you know what range psi they're shooting paint at, Well except FishingFreak, I hear NASA makes his paint guns  To be a fly on the wall in his paint shop  |

"minimum of noise"
oilless compressors are usually louder than reg. oil bathed compressors. Have you heard this run?
you may get sick of it running, but you could always add a tank later on I guess.  |

get an extra length of hose. it will act as kind of a tank. well not really a "tank", but it will even out the little "pulses"{minute'air presure fluctuations} that those small compresors are prone too.

I took a look at the Testors and it was pretty cheesy. Bit the bullet and got a badger model 80-2. What a night and day difference over those crappy aircans. It wasn't a bad price either.
Took the AC Moore coupon over to Micheals because they say they honor their competitors coupons. regularly $179 got it for $102 and got it up in NH where I saved the sale tax.
Nice little piece of equipment.
