GX Portable PCP Air Compressor Review

The GX Portable PCP Air Compressor is a powerful, compact and practical machine which is designed for pressurising tanks up to 1 litre in size. It's particularly useful for PCP air gun, paintball and scuba diving use. It works quickly, inflating a 500ml tank from 200 bar to 300 bar in 10 minutes, and from 0 bar to 300 bar between 22 and 26 minutes. It can be powered in two different ways, namely with a 12V car battery (not through the cigarette lighter), and via the mains.
