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.

I Took the image about 5 feet away and also noise in that small space I created would be amplified so take that into account, but massive diffrence between this compressor and a pancake one used for general use, granted pancake one once full last a while but when time comes to recharge it, its annoying, the little one even though it does turn on more more frequently the noise does not bother me at all, in a weird way its almost like a white noise. You could be by me and hear me talk easily my voice is louder then the little compressor, talking normally. I saw more expensive ones woth a tank onit and decided to go for this one and honestly no regrets performs great for my hobby. It does not come with a hose but if you ever bought a airbrush kit that comes with the hose it fits on there, I did how ever buy a quick disconnect kit so the hose can stay on the compressor, makes it way more convenient. I dont airbrush every day or for long periods of time so not sure how it performs under long usage and heavy load. I saw some comments about it getting hot, I have not had that issue but if I do ill just put a fan or something by it. Still worth it for this great price point. Overall great design and doesn't leak, no overheating issue, works good very happy.

Wisper quiet🤫 Runs smooth with adjustable pressure control. Compact and sturdy. Definitely a quality product and affordable.

This is a great little compressor. Timber tech. I have had it now about 6 months no issues. It works great and love the 3 liter tank. Holds more than enough air. I build models so I use it alot. Always performs great. Real quite , great for apartments which I live in. Want a compressor that will always work when needed this is it. I highly recommend it. It doesn’t move around or anything

New to airbrushing and so far no complaints! Nice and quiet, easy to operate!

This seems to be a very nice airbrush compressor. It’s well finished, runs quietly enough to have right next to you and delivers enough air volume for an airbrush. It cycles on and off to keep the pressure up. The on/off switch is lighted, so you can see at a glance whether it’s energized. The built-in carry handle is nice, too. My one objection is the pressure gauge, which is ill-sized for the purpose. The gauge and its markings are very small and the pressure range is much higher than needed, which makes setting accurate output pressures difficult. I replaced the small 0-100 PSI gauge with a larger 0-60 PSI gauge, which is much easier to read and set. The regulator seems to have a 1/8” NPT (National Pipe Taper) thread size. The gauge I got is ¼” NPT, so it needed an adaptor to fit 1/8”. Unfortunately, the new gauge is glycerin-filled and has an air bubble in the dial, which is annoying, but at least now it is easy to read and pressures in the 10-15 PSI range are easy to set.

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!

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.

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.

Es un buen producto, equilibrio perfecto calidad-precio. Lo utilizo para pintar modelos a escala y maquetas, me funciona perfecto con el aerógrafo, tiene buena presión a la salida y es regulable. En mi caso el tanque de 3 lt esta bien, para trabajos grandes puede que sea poco, ya que el compresor arrancara muy seguido, el nivel de ruido es bastante tolerable.

This unit is a perfect upgrade from the tiny portable compressors. It is very quiet and of course with the tank there are silent periods. Very happy with this one.
