Great Compact Compressor

Review Posted 06/12/2017
Great product and "Must Have" for every off-road 4x4 owner. Mounted on JKUR under the hood on Metalcloak platform.
Looks good and performs well. No more waiting in lines to fill tires before heading home.

Review Posted 02/21/2013
I installed this on my 2013 Polaris RZR 4 XP900 and I use it to fill up my tires when out on the trail or to blow off the dust to make cleaning a bit easier.
This compressor is reliable, durable and not too bad on the check book. If I wasn't worried about price I would have bought the next step up from this one- though for now this one does just fine.
I would recommend this to all intermediate users.

2003 4Runner with 32" BFG MT's
By Andrew
Seattle, Washington
Review Posted 04/27/2012


Great compressor. Easy to install, all wiring and parts needed were included, performed great! Aired up my 32" tires from my usual offroading tire pressure of 10-15 PSI back up to 35-37 in only a minute or two. I also used their 171302 Tire Inflation Kit as well.
Sold the truck before I had a chance to run air lockers to it as well or a secondary tank but...hopefully on my next rig I will do it all!?
The CKMA12 will definitely be purchased again.
