Master Airbrush Model TC-40T - Cool Runner Professional High Performance Single-Piston Airbrush Air Compressor with 3-Liter Air Tank, 2 Holders, Regulator, Gauge, Water Trap Filter & Air Hose

Super quiet and reliable compressor. Have been using it for few weeks and love it. I can airbrush while my girls are asleep without waking them. Air pressure is constant and reliable... love it By the way it looks big on the picture bit it is small and easily portable

UPDATED So far this compressor has surpassed my expectations. I wanted an affordable, compact, quiet and reliable compressor for airbrush tattoo work. So far it has been great. Very quiet and runs very cool. It has auto start/stop based on your desired regulator settings. I have not gigged it just yet, but have used it continuously for 3 hours practicing and dialing in the pressure for my brushes. It looks well built and feels sturdy. I can't yet attest to its long term durability but the added feature of a built in fan and reservoir tank should help it last a long time. Air flow is cosistant and can be easily adjusted by dialing in the pressure. The guage is easy to read but I wish its markings were a little bigger. I had a few questions for its manufacture and the customer service was excellent. I really have no complaints. I rated it four stars only beacuse I haven't had it long enough to really test its reliablity and durability. Will update in a few months. Updates Well i have raised the stars to 5 now. After a few weeks of running this every night, i have had no issues with it. The big test came when i had a 3 hour outdoor gig in over 100 degree heat. The Master TC40T worked flawlessly. I was concerned that it might oveheat but nope. This is going to be a great work horse for me -Two more 3-4 hour gigs in 100f + temps and zero problems. I'm running six brushes via ported manifold from the TC40t. Totally satisfied with the product. Did I mention what a great value this was? Less than than $120 2 day free shipping with Amazon Prime.

I chose this after deliberating for days and reading different reviews about what would be the best first-time air brush compressor. The tank is a MUST have. I'm doing small 1/48 scale airplanes and I didn't think I needed the capacity but I'm glad I followed other reviewers that said to get the tank. At 10psi and very gentle brushing, the tank will hold about 30 seconds of continuous air before the compressor kicks on. It'll then run for about 10 seconds before kicking off again. The compressor itself is quiet. That was a major selling feature to me. I noticed some other brands claim 65dB+, and this one is quoted at 48dB so that was a major purchasing decision as well. With a simple decibel meter on my phone, with the compressor running approximately a foot away, it was averaging about 58-60dB. Simply moving it another foot or two away would quiet it down some more. For those not keen on how decibel ratings work, its about as loud as a standard conversation. I can airbrush all night with my girlfriend in the next room and its just a gentle hum. The included hose is nice at 6' but I think a 10' would be better. But take it from me, IF YOU HAVE A BADGER AIRBRUSH, YOU NEED THE ADAPTER. I highly suggest getting the "Badger Air-Brush Company Iwata Hose Adaptor". It connects perfectly to the included hose and my Patriot 105. No leaks noted, I will let it sit with a full tank for weeks at a time and pressure holds. Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase. I would have gladly paid $150+ for this unit, and I think this is the best all-around starter compressor. I would NOT suggest the TC-20 or regular TC-40. Save a few more bucks and get this bad boy. Edit: 6-month update, airbush has about 10-15 hours of runtime and still works great. I came back and did notice the price has gone up by $75, but also noticed they increased the tank size. I think this is wonderful as some people did comment on the lack of capacity. Those of you buying today, I think you will have a very nice unit with the larger tank, and probably a better deal than what I paid. I still love it, and if I were more serious about airbrushing, I'd totally upgrade to the larger tank.

I did research and had high hopes for this compressor. Day 1... I unpacked, made sure it was air tight and set to 25psi. I've been using it for an hour. It is constantly running, a couple times it auto shut off just to start right back up again after just doing a little airbrush detail work. and it is very hot to the touch. And operates as if there is No air tank. I've reached out to Supplier who told me to contact TCP global. And TCP global told me they can't do anything because it was bought on Amazon and I should contact supplier. So basically no warranty or accountability for a shotty product.

Just tried the compressor today, the regulator knob doesn’t turn.
