I was over at talon tunes, and saw a Tuxing that blew the piston and rod right out of the cylinder. The cause was determined as detonation from oil blow by past worn piston rings. Keep the rings fresh is the moral of the story.
These are designed off a 150psi compressor, wasn't designed to handle detonation at 4,500 psi. Non-chinese compressors have much better oil control, and actual metal piston rings that don't wear out quickly and leak oil into the compression area. I don't think too many Bauers/Maxairs/etc have blown up in a few months time...

If I had one of these small single piston compressors I would only use it to top off 3000psi airguns while away from my larger compressor and tanks at home. I hardly think these things are going to last very long filling a 4500psi 60 minute CF tank on a regular basis.When and if the scam artists that are currently ripping folks off for these are all dealt with and gone and the price actually comes down to the $200 range where it belongs, I will more likely have one. Until then, I'm not going anywhere near the water.
Buyer Beware Brian.... Several scams going on right now. Especially on the "priced too good to be true" one out of China.

Especially on the "priced too good to be true" one out of China.Yeah I've been reading about this. Hopefully I get the compressor. Keeping my fingers crossed!I paid $215 for mine shipping was ($140) so $355. I've been communicating with Joan Shi over at CHON Electronic Technology Co. So far she has been extremely helpful. and she even gave me the heads up to the newly available 110v Set Pressure model. (I originally ordered the 220v model) But she is helping me change my order to the 110v hopefully the 220v model didn't ship already, and it can be changed to the 110v model.Other people I've spoken to have ordered from her. So hopefully all goes well.I'll keep you guys posted!
Toku58 that is the seller I got mine from. Mine took 12 days to deliver from China. Ordered May 4th and it arrived on May16th. The majority of the shipping time it spent in customs in Memphis. Joan Shi was also the person I communicated with. She was very good at answering questions I had. I had communicated with her several times over a 2 week period before I actually place my order.
