Would this be able to fill a 2 gallon on board air tank to 150psi, as a budget replacement for a VIVAIR compressor, used to power an air horn?

I have used this pump to fill up a portable air tank, but can only get the pressure up to about 90 psi max.

This pump was designed for inflating car tires and not enough powerful for your task.

Depends on how fast one works it. I've been using it on the regular 5 gallon apprx. 4 scfm at 90 psi compressor just fine. You may consider upgrading your air supply if you have more than one guy shooting.

No. This unit is rated at 375 watts. Your air compressor would require 1200 watts at 120v and a 10 Amp draw.

I am using a small pancake compressor which has a 5 gallon capacity and will deliver 100psi. This is more than enough to power the pinner. I also use a ten gallon remote tank to use the pinner (and other guns) wherever I wish to use it.

JD, I am not an expert on this matter. However, my experience with the tool is that I have used it on as small a unit as 3 gallon tank. Further, I would think the issue is better defined as efficiency, e.g., does your compressor have at least a 100lb capacity, and whether or not the 2 gallon tank will cause occasional delay while it builds pressure again. Sorry I can not be more definitive.

No. As previously stated, even the very best garage type of compressor only gets up to maybe 500PSI. So options are: special hand pump $120-300, scuba tank with adapter (used $150, new $250), paint ball tanks with adapters ($200-up), special carbon fiber 4500psi tanks for PC rifles ($300-way up), Used SCBA carbon fiber fireman tank with adapters ($200+) which is what I did (actually finished around $120, but I got lucky and built the stainless adapter myself). BUT, once you have an air source, you have almost unlimited, dirt cheap, super accurate shooting fun!

My only concern would be that with this compressor your psi may get to low while doing larger areas. This unit has no tank and psi drops fast and would cause the compressor to run a lot. Does come with adapters for larger compressor

No bigger than the tank is it will probably work but it will run all the time. Also depends on the cfm (cubic feet per minute) but with 6 gallon of air reserved when the level drops on the air tank size of 6 gallon the compressor will kick on so heavey duty cleaning/blowing will run out of air in the tank pretty quickly. also depends on how high you have the copressor line side set to, 120 PSI is probably maximum it will run out of air pretty quickly and constant blowing will not be able to substain itself very long.

I would answer yes, kind of. The compressor pumps up and shuts off at 150psi, so it goes up above the 125psi that you need. But, once you start filling the tires and the pressure in the compressor tank drops it doesn't turn back on until it gets down to 120psi (I'm going off memory here). So, it should work well at first, but once you get close to the 125psi level you may have to let a little air out of the pressure relief valve to get the compressor to turn back on to completely top off the tire to 125psi. This compressor is light and easy to tote around, but if you can't plug it into an extension cord while you're airing up the tires it's probably going to be a pain going back and forth to the house to plug it in and let it charge the tank over and over. If you just need to put a few psi in the tires every now and then it would probably be fine though. Another option would be to get one of the portable air tanks that would be much larger than the tiny tank in the this compressor. Use this compressor to top off the larger portable air tank and carry it out to the RV.

I use it with my commercial air tank and staple guns at up to 120 psi and it works fine. Good quality, and great price!

I had no trouble with this tool on my Bostitch 6 Gal 3.8CFM @ 90 PSI compressor. I did need to use 110PSI, and it could drain the tank in a min, but the tool worked quite well.

I've done it but it takes patience as the reserve tank is small so you have to wait for it to build more pressure. This compressor is designed for air nailers. If your buying it just to fill tires you will need a bigger tank.

No.The small tank will not give you enough air.This compressor is only good for inflating tires.
428815
No, you'll need something with a tank so you have enough volume of air. At least a 1 gal tank, preferably bigger. You can pick up that type of compressor for much less than the cost of one of these.

I don't think it will work for that air compressor since this is rated at 6 amp output while those compressors can easily need 10-15 amps. I'm not sure of the shipping issues (I'm not a seller).

I have a DeWalt Emglo 4.5 gal. 5.4 scfm compressor that will go to 200 psi in the tanks. It is on wheels and works great!

On paper, yes, with enough amps left over for other devices. In reality, this compressor will probably have a hard time and might get damaged. See Del's answer. Also this only supplies 120 volts, so make sure you don't need 240.
