Timbertech Upgraded Airbrush Single-Piston Oil-free Mini Compressor ABPST08 with Cooling Fan, 3L Tank, Regulator, Moisture trap for Hobby, Body Tattoo, Model Painting, Automotive Graphic, Make-up

This is a great compressor, it's small, quiet and functions flawlessly. The included regulator and moisture trap make this a great value. Air is consistent and dry, it holds my working pressure (about 20psi for airbrushing) perfectly. It's a nice design, it the tank seems to be of good quality, think walls and good welds. The feet keep the compressor from moving while in operation. It's simple to use and meets all expectations. Some have complained about rust in the tank but mine didn't have that problem. Also the hose fitting seems to be an issue for some but I just bought a Grex airbrush hose kit and it's got the proper fitting for this and my Badger Patriot 105 airbrush.

My husband started airbrushing recently and this one was recommended. After many uses, I can say it works beautifully. He has a setup in the basement directly under the living room. I cannot hear it at all from upstairs. Even in the same room it's very quiet and only turns on every few minutes to maintain pressure. It also doesn't take up much space and is easy to use. Works wonderfully with airbrushing for a smooth, even coat. I would recommend this for air brushing.

Excellent buy! Very well made! Very quiet and easy to use.

I have to say I was hesitant to buy this cuz I bought a timber tech compressor without the tank the first one I had lasted 2 years the new one I bought was only 6 months old and just quit working so I bought this one and have to say it worked great runs my airbrushes perfectly it's quiet great inexpensive compressor it actually works better than my high-end compressor and it's a lot quieter definitely recommend for anybody that wants to use airbrushes or just have small jobs around the house or inflate tires either way it works really good so far

No where in the description or details does it say it has a 1/8 BSP male nozzle and not the standard 1/4 BSP nozzle. So we ordered everything we thought we needed. Instead we cannot connect the Iwata hose to this. We can’t seem to find the actual adapter we need since usually you have to go the other way (1/4 bsp female to 1/8 bsp male). So we can’t use this and had to waste money buying a different hose. This is not easily compatible with the Iwata Medea hose. There is no OEM adaptor for this. But once we finally got the right hose and adapters, this was super quiet and worked with no problems for several hours. I plan to use it about 2 hours a night for the next two weeks and see how it does.

Great value and consistency. There haven't been any electrical or pressure issues after hundreds of hours of use. Just keep in mind that it can get a little toasty after several hours of constant use, and that that the compressor is a little loud (as is true with almost every compressor in this style). Those shouldn't be an issue for most people, though.

I had been using a 3-gallon pancake compressor from Harbor Freight and, while it got the job done for my airbrushing uses, it was incredibly loud. No way to use it without everyone in the house hearing it. And it rattled my nerves every time it cycled on, causing me to screw up at least a couple of paint jobs unnecessarily. Then I saw a product review online of this Timbertech unit by one of my favorite YouTube modeling pros and figured the time was right to jump on a new compressor. Man, am I glad I did! This unit is WHISPER QUIET! It takes up less room than my old compressor and, with the reserve tank, it doesn’t cycle on very frequently, so I can airbrush for several minutes without hearing ANY noise from it at all! When it does cycle on it makes about as much noise as an average aquarium air pump, if not less. Very consistent airflow at every setting, with no significant reduction in pressure while spraying. The pressure regulator works very smoothly and I can adjust pressure settings and lock the regulator easily with one hand. And that’s important when you’re balancing parts and an airbrush. Now for the negative…. I had quite a time trying to locate the proper couplers so that I could use my favorite airbrush, a Paasche Talon ( that has a proprietary thread design) AND my other airbrushes, which use standard fittings. For the record, the fitting on the Timbertech pressure regulator ( where you screw on your air hose) is 1/8 NPTB male, and should work fine with standard air hoses. If you use the majority of airbrushes available you probably won’t need any special adaptors or couplers to use them. I firmly believe that, for the price of this unit, considering as it includes a cool-down fan and a pressure regulator, not to mention a very low decibel rating, this is a HONEY of a deal!

This is a great compressor for the price. I purchase it for my first airbrush and have not been disappointed. See the tank allows for you to have a mostly quiet paint session w out being bothered too much. Even tho the decibel level is advertised as being low I find it a tad too loud for my taste. That being said it is quiet enough for me to use in my paint room w the door open and not have it heard in the living room when my wife is watching tv. After you get in the groove you won’t even notice the noise and it’ll be part of the background. It passes the wife test and I haven’t woken her up once during my late night paint sessions. I did have to go buy a quick release adapter for the hose but that’s whatever. A truly great buy for my airbrush painting.

amei a compra! amazon nota mil por essa importação <3

Me encanta. Funciona muy bien y realmente arroja el aire de forma precisa, limpia y constante, incluso con baja PSI lo cual lo hace perfecto para poder pintar detalles muy finos haciendo que cualquier aerografo, incluso los genéricos chinos, atomicen la pintura de forma impecable. El tanque es pequeño pero es más que suficiente para poder pintar por unos minutos sin el ruido del compresor. En cuestión de ruido es genial ya que no es molesto para nada haciéndolo útil para usarlo incluso de noche. El único detalle es que tiende a calentarse mucho por lo tanto me encuentro apagandolo constantemente para que pueda enfriarse, sin embargo, esto es normal en todos los compresores compactos como este. Así que si lo que buscas es un compresor de calidad, compacto y a buen precio, esta será tu mejor opción. ¡Lo recomiendo totalmente!

Happy with this compressor so far. I use it for airbrushing hobby models with my Paasche airbrush and a couple of no-name ones, and it’s been running great. It’s reasonably quiet while running — not silent, but quiet enough. Because it has a tank, it doesn’t run constantly; it cycles on and off smoothly and holds pressure well. Build quality feels solid, and the built-in cooling fan helps keep the motor from getting too warm during longer sessions. One thing to note: depending on your airbrush brand, you might need an adapter for the hose connection (the compressor uses a standard 1/8" BSP thread). Overall, no complaints at all. Great value for the price and perfect for hobby airbrushing, models, crafts, and similar projects.

What a great little air compressor, it is whisper quiet, reliable, and excellent value for the money. The compact size, built-in carry handle, and being oil-less means it's virtually a maintenance-free design. Setup is intuitive and I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I highly recommend to anyone needing a compact and quality air compressor for air brushing or in my case a CNC laser air assist system buy this one. If I could give this more then five stars I would.
