Valuable topic given my current needs.
Does anyone here have any experience with the Warn Air-Power SPC?

Hey RedDog, It has a similar look and specs to the Costco special from MasterFlow (Q Industries) but I am sure it is made better. Just wondering if it is worth the extra $200USD more? Then add on the shipping, exchange rate and GST...makes it over $300 Kanuk buks....better off buying a full duty compressor for that kind of money.

just got a mf-1050 myself.
i believe someone confirmed that the mv-50 and the mf-1050 are the same units, just a different model number. they certainly look the same.
cant wait to try this bad boy out.

I've been running the little cheapie for three years. It lived under the hood of my last diesel, and saw all manner of conditions, with no troubles. Just put it in the back of my "new" rig, since the larger diesel I have now doesn't offer the room under the hood. Like others here, I had to do some wire-replacement, but for the cost, this thing works awesome!!
I put the adapter on it as well, so it can use a standard quick connect. Also have a two way manifold and some y's rigged up with a few hoses, and a bleed valve, so I can air up or down all four tires at the same time. Very handy.

Just wanted to add to this old thread about my experience with the Harbor Freight 12V compressor. I bought the first one that aired up my 35” tires from 15-50 one time, blew fuses and melted the wires. HF replaced it with a new one. The second one died while I was airing up coming off a beach about 15 miles from town. It died a hard, fast death. One the first tire it got so hot and shut off, second tire the compressor piston locked up and the in line fuse holder melted but did not blow. I had the HF warranty, so they gave me my money back.
I just ordered an MV50 from Amazon for $47 with free shipping. I will use the MV50 as a back up to a Co2 tank.

I hate to bring this back from the dead since it's been covered, but does anyone have a good deal out there on the MV50? We wired one into my friends JK last summer and it's holding up great. Now that the smallest rig in my group is running 32's (mine) I think it's time for a second compressor. I've been looking at these on and off for sometime now and I think it's time to bite the bullet and buy one.
Edit: I picked one up on amazon for $65 shipped

Amazon has them for $60 shipped. Google shopping shows them at Sams for $52. I'm not a Sams club member so can't check the local one.
