Bell bicycle pumps

[MrCrowley]

not sure on the exchange rate but its $2 for 5 where i last saw them so its a lot cheaper to buy/take/borrow to keep old batteries and make my own.

$3NZD is about $2.70AUD

i got mine off my dad he had it for 20 years he said, and it is still going strong

I wish todays quality was as good as it was back when my dad was young, man his still got stuff from when he was my age that still works. Nowdays everything is made in china and lasts 5min before it f#cking breaks.

they do make the quality it just costs a bit more these days

My Air Tool Pro.

The handle may look like it would hurt like a (insert epithet here) but it is designed to minimize strain, and has a layer of rubberized plastic. Quite comfortable.

The cylinder is 6061 alloy (aluminum), but the rubber hose is rated to 250 psi, so i took it to 275 once. I usually just use it for 150 or so

nice as, my whole pump is rated to 260 but ive had it easily over 300+

yours looks better at the moment though mine has all mud over it from chasing fish 8)

ill re-paint mine soon.

If I ever come across the opportunity to get two old, but working, single-cylinder engines for under 100 dollars again, here's what I'd do.

Mount an engine I intend to keep running on sawhorses and tie down to the ground. Mount all tanks and hoses where required.

Couple crankshaft from one engine to the other engine I intend to salvage.

Remove valves from top of cylinder. Bore out and tap both intake and exhaust valve seats to 1" NPT threads. Install a bushing and then connect to an appropriate check valve.

Run intake check valve from a hose to a suitable air filter.

Run exhaust check valve to a manifold including a 350 PSI pop-off valve.

Voila! Instant redneck high-pressure air compressor from hell.

my compressor is homemade, not combustion driven though, it has an old electric motor connected via a belt to a Toyota land cruiser air con pump, it well kind of need a new motor this one gets weaker everytime i use it but well i cant argue with 110psi of homemade pressure.
