Just got one today, the problem or worry that everyone is having about switching the nipple to an American standard nipple is OVER! They now include an adapter that just pops right on! No going to the hardware store to find threads adapters or anything! This thing is powerful, fills fast and not too bad on the ears! I will say the gauge does suck as others have mentioned…. Anyone know if the gauge has a common pipe thread, or is the a replacement gauge?
Actually I just purchased the ALL-TOP 12v Portable Air Compressor and the air guage is dead on plus the air hose connector is US compatible....Very happy with the purchase I can check and inflate the air pressure on my 5th wheel rv at my leisure...
Great review / comparison of both air compressors! I run the all-top and I love it! I've reset a bead for a UTV on the trail with it and been using the heck out of it since I got it! super impressed! Loved to see the comparison between the two! thank you!
The best part about the ARB, you can rebuild it for about $50 when it starts wearing out. I like that it's not a throw-away product. Mine started blowing fuses and running hot. I bought the piston kit, installed it, and it's like new.
I don’t know what the CFM is, I grabbed it a few years ago before a wheeling trip. It’s great for the quad and the dirt bike, but if it try to air up all four 33’s on the Jeep, it takes forever.
@@MyDIYAdventures got you. I'll have to look them up. I didn't even think to check Harbor Freight. And yeah they are definitely handy to have! I like my onboard arb n the tundra but I needed to get something for the Ram
thanks for the heads up on the connectors and threads being different. deal breaker for me. has to be compatible for changes. great video ! saved me the hassle and much appreciated that you made the vid.
It's definitely the most convenient spot that I found. However if you were going to run it for an extended time you would definitely want to heavy engine hood open to allow cool air in there
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow I also took mine apart and put a heavier set of booster cables because the wires would get hot and ran 3 feet of insulated hose from my compressor
awsome review. I have the same type as that alltop and still runs great. I had to get a different adapter for the quick adapter attached to the compressor.I believe they call it a type L or something. changed it out and now I can use the normal quick connectors like yours. Sure wish i didn't have to use the flowthrough adapter when filling as it would be nice to be able to use a digital gauge while filling.
Thanks man and awesome. Good to hear yours is still going strong. Haven't had any problems with mine either yet although I haven't used it since this video LOL. And yeah definitely swapping out the connector is a must
EZ flat has and adapter they sell for this. They told me it was the Nitto adapter. I haven’t done it yet though. I was looking at the gobege compressor which looks similar
I like your presentation. You have a talent for it. I would like to know where you got the SS air tank and how much time does that decrease your inflation time for a 4 tires.
Can you give a long term review on the ALL-Top air compressor? I deciding whether to go with this model for my Jeep Wrangler JL or stick with ARB for more than twice the money. Cheers!
Did some quick searching and the oem fitting looks like a high flow BSPT and is bored out a lot bigger than a standard T style NPT. Mine came with a small adapter hose that connects to the compressor and has a T style male fitting on it.
Since you have to turn the compressor off to get a reading from the gauge, shouldn’t the gauge be located near the compressor. Than you don’t have to walk back and forth to check your reading. Am I overlooking something or did they overlook that.
I mean I think it works fine the way it is. But yeah I see what you're talking about. Truth is, once you're used to using the compressor you will be able to know what the pressure is without turning the compressor off
Thanks for the video, nice job. So now that you've lived with it for a while have you had issues? Would you consider doing another test of the All-Top with the engine running?
No problem and thanks man. I haven't used it since this video so I couldn't really give an updated opinion at this point. May do an update in the future though. It would be slightly better with the engine running
The orange one is a direct copy of the t maxx compressor which is made from monkey metal you can’t fit any other ports into the head on side is the intake the other is out put plus the a r b spare parts are readily available for the compressors
Yes I added the guard and the winch after I bought the truck. I'm happy with the setup. If you look up NoNonsenseKnowHow tundra winch then you will run into a video I did showing the basics of how I put the winch on. Are you talking about the winch or the guard?
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow the guard, but the winch too. I’ll check out the video. I hit a deer in Montana in a rental grand Cherokee jeep. Now I’m wanting a guard for my 2006 GMC pickup. I really like your videos. Very informative
@@johnyb9884 oh got you. Yeah definitely a good upgrade! Might not save the vehicle completely but at least give it a fighting chance and will hopefully keep deer from going in the windshield. That was the main reason I installed one. And thanks man I appreciate you checking out the videos
I don't think that design language is a Chinese manufacturing thing, as much as general industry chosen design principles lol. Interesting seeing where this one falls though. Points to consider
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow More than likely lol. Can make a wrench so fancy before it's not a wrench lol. For the overall intended useage, that was the chosen basic form, was my take anyway.
I agree its less but it sure seems pretty quick. Ill have to do a 0 to inflate time and let you know. But it has normal fittings and just much better quality build and comes with spare air filters basically everything you didn't like it has hahaha. Just a fan of there products I was going to buy the all top because of price but I'm glad I went with viair
I dont understand why you waste your time if it is price based comprasion .. we know the result from the specs. if you want to compare the performance of two devices they should close in the specs. so you should compare it with the twin ARB pump
I bought the pump because I got a good deal on it. I decided to make a little review video since I was doing it anyway for personal reference. It didn't find it useful it is what it is.
On Amazon:
*ALL-TOP COMPRESSOR: amzn.to/32lZH9N

Yeah very true! I actually just did a video on my other channel taking my apart and fixing it. They even warranted the parts and sent me them for free
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow Gotta love that.
Heck yeah! Great customer service
Hey you probably worked this out by now, the air fitting is nitto, it's the standard fitting here in Australia. Great video by the way, thanks man.
A thoroughly precise and accurate, no nonsense review!
right on! Thanks for the feedback man
I did the same with my Harbor Freight compressor, cut the end of the hose and put a standard female end on it. It makes it way more versatile!👍
How do you like the Harbor Freight unit? Do you know what the CFM rating is on it?
I don’t know what the CFM is, I grabbed it a few years ago before a wheeling trip. It’s great for the quad and the dirt bike, but if it try to air up all four 33’s on the Jeep, it takes forever.

Now I also wondered if a 12 volt compressor was a good idea mounting in the engine. Now I know thanks !!!
It's definitely the most convenient spot that I found. However if you were going to run it for an extended time you would definitely want to heavy engine hood open to allow cool air in there
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow I ran some wire from my battery and keep mine behind my seat.keeps it clean etc

Thanks. And I got the stainless tank on eBay. It doesn't really change the time to inflate all four tires very much.

Maxi trax by napa has dual head for 115 out now
Yes. It would be nice if they had any in stock anywhere tho. It's a NAPA brand basically and they have been out of stock for months
The Maxi Trac is quite an awesome machine

End of video you show your front bumper set up.
Did you attach after you bought truck.
Would you buy differently
Have you ever hit a deer?

Mine came with a standard(American) air tool fitting, 08/2023. It’s also much quieter in person than this video makes it sound.
Nice! Sounds like they made some upgrades
Thumbs up 👍 good walkthrough 😀
Is it true that the cylinder head fins are plastic and not aluminum? I read that on a review but it just seemed odd.
I don't think that design language is a Chinese manufacturing thing, as much as general industry chosen design principles lol.

Pretty much comparable. I would say the ARB maybe a little bit quieter
1/4" NPT Female to M12x1.0 Male adapter
Viair portable air compressor is the way to go.
Which model? I was looking up the specs on their comparable models and they were half the air volume
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow 400p automatic shut off 33% at 100 psi. 2.3 cfm good to 35inch tires 30amp draw

thats not an air compresser,,,its a wheel pump
It compresses air
How do you pump up a wheel? Maybe a tire pump?
