So - would you pay 5 hundy for the calendar and get a free compressor?

That will be the test of how good the calendar is - surely. :lol:

ive had the arb compressor for a long time with the adapter for blowing up tyres but without a tank. very slow and doesnt do much for the compresser rebuit it twice and have just gone to the boss 3/4hp 100% duty cycle compresser with a tank $460 with fairlead,check valve ,etc. very noisey but far better than arb.from auckland.
