my 6hp 30 gallon craftsman compressor works well! :)
 
Or you can take a normal portable air tank (like those used for autox'ers racers for their tires).. Add a regulator to it so you don't go over 10psi, go to your local "good" gas station and put 120 lbs of air pressure into it and your good to go!

i have a regular tire thingy with a gauge, but the tire nozzle thingy won't go on the compression
 
tester's nozzle thingy. know what i mean?

guess i should prolly hunt around sears first.

yeah, lightweight's got one of those suckers, but he doesn't have a gauge that shows how much
 
pressure is currently in the system.

Any compressor out there can handle it. But might as well pick something up that can do more...
 
Like run air guns and whatnot.

Be carefull
 
I blew the damn thing off even tho I set the regulator for 15 psi. They just don't work that well at low pressures. Set it at 5-10 psi and SLOWLY crank it up.
